Walking: Easy and Healthy Way to Lose Weight

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

You can lose weight by walking. Yeah, it really works, provided that you do it regularly and properly. A regular walking plan will not only help you in loosing weight, but also contribute to your overall physical and mental fitness.

So, let’s check out how walking can help us achieve our fitness goals:

Walk to Burn More Calories: Believe it or not, you burn almost the same calories with walking and jogging. You can use a calorie calculator to know that exactly how many calories you can burn by walking at a fairly moderate speed of 2.5 mile per hour.
• To begin with, start walking slowly and as you start to lose some weight, increase your pace.

Boost Your Metabolism: If you walk for two miles in the morning, your metabolism will remain active for the entire day. So walk daily to kick up your metabolism.

• Walk and Reduce Your Appetite: A sweaty walk will definitely suppress your appetite for some time. What you need the most after a long and strenuous walk is water. So make sure to drink enough water, which helps in detoxifying your system.

• Design a Walking Plan: Make a scale to measure your walking capacity. Also schedule a timetable to be followed regularly and strictly. On a scale of 1-10, 1 and 2 could be the mildest walking steps, following an ascending order. So, 10 should be the toughest activity for you.

• You can also increase the duration by five or ten minutes every week. For instance, if you begin with 30 minutes in the first week, your target should be to reach 45 minutes till the tenth week.

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to go and buy a nice pair of the walking shoes, like the New Balance MW887B Active Walking trainers, and march towards your fitness goals. Once you get adjusted to walking you can even work your way up to jogging and running.
