"Wogging" is the combination of a walk and a jog. I came across this term over the weekend, and it's the perfect description of my exercise routine.
Wogging gives you the best of the worlds of walking and jogging. You avoid the constant high impact of running, but burn more calories to improve your body condition.
Searching online, I learned there's two ways to Wog: the Steady Wog and the Variable Wog.
Steady Wogging is when you walk somewhat like a racewalker, but your feet leave the ground. Here's a link to a YouTube video that shows the technique:

Variable or Intermittent Wogging is simply alternating between walking and running - and this is what I do. Over time, I've built up strength and endurance so that I can run longer distances, but I let myself be okay with walking when I need to. Especially uphill.
Give "wogging" a try and let me know what you think.
