Walking - An Easy Path To Lose Weight

By Andre Pignataro


If you've decided to lose some weight then you've probably created some sort of exercise plan. Maybe haven't exercised previously, or at least not lately. Even if it can be overwhelming, you can work your way into a workout routine gradually by walking. You should definitely include walking to any exercise program you do.

There are many ways to add walking into your day-to-day routine. If you have a dog then take your dog for a walk around the block for no less than 10 minutes. Your walks may only be ten minutes, but over a week that corresponds to at least 70 minutes, which is rather a lot of walking. Walking your dog twice a day will double that number. Try walking to your office if you live pretty close to it. Don't even think about walking if you're two hours away from your job--unless you wish to awaken at the crack of dawn daily! A 30 minute walk to your job is possible and if you walk to work and back, you'll be walking for an hour per day. If you commute to work, merely walk to the next bus stop so that you do a bit more walking in the day. Its not hard to add in walking.

Walking is wonderful for your whole health. Because walking is a kind of cardio activity, you'll burn calories while also losing weight and improving your heart. Walking is normally slow placed so you won't be aggravating your joints too much, unlike running. I quizzed my brother who loves eating junk food about how he manages his weight. He tells me he has no idea, but he did tell me that he walks a lot daily. It made perfect sense when he said that. Walking is not difficult to do there isn't any excuse you can't give it a try.

Try and get into a routine of walking daily as you'll have a better chance you'll stick to it, and with the correct diet, you'll be able to eliminate those extra pounds quickly. When you are walking daily, you'll notice that you feel healthier and are motivated to keep walking daily. As you walk more regularly and see changes, you'll want to do more or hike up the intensity of your walks. There's no excuse not to try it if you feel comfortable with that. Go faster when you're out walking and, if you keen, jog for short distances. After this, you may wish to advance to tougher exercises.

There should be no reason for you to not go walking for a few minutes each day. Irrespective of how busy you are, you should be able to make time for a short walk in your neighborhood or visit your gym for a short session on the treadmill.
