It's easy to turn your walk into a whole-body workout, though: just use the objects you come across along the way. Park benches, picnic tables and even your water bottle can be used to incorporate an upper-body workout as you walk. Try adding these quick and easy upper-body exercises to your next walk, and track your progress on our printable exercise chart.
