Trim your waist with this 24-minute walking interval routine.
This week’s Whittle Your Middle training plan is similar to last week’s. The good news? It should be getting easier!

You're repeating last week's workouts, this time with a little more confidence in your running part of the program. Remember to keep an eye on your intensity -- you should finish the end of each running interval feeling strong.
