Are you walking enough to lose weight

A good way to start anything is with a plan. Walking is no different. A walking to lose weight plan may be just what you need if you have plateaued with your weight. Below is a walking plan that I used when I plateaued at 220 lbs. No matter what I did I couldn’t lose any more weight. I started walking every night when I got home. It was nice because I had a dog that needed to get some exercise as well. In each space write down how long you walked that day. I would suggest consulting a doctor before you start any kind of exercise routine including walking. Your doctor can probably suggest how long you should start walking

*consult your doctor before beginning any kind of exercise routine.

* write how long you walked in each square and keep track of your weight in the last box.

WALKING TO LOSE WEIGHT PLAN

It’s natural to think we know what walking is and how to walk. But walking is more than what you think you know, as it is one of the greatest ways to decrease your health risks and improve your fitness. Walking is one of the healthy ways to add exercise to your day to day activity and to burn calories. The suggested amount of walking for weight loss is one hour per day most days of the week, in addition to a reduced calorie diet. Walking burns about 100 calories per mile for a person that weighs about 160 pounds. Walking is one activity we perform every day of our life, and can also be part of the strategy to lose weight. Walking at a moderate pace for 35 to 60 minutes’ burns fat that have already been stored in the body and can build up muscle to speed up your metabolism.

WEIGHT LOSS WALKING PLANS

Walking seems very simple and straightforward, but it’s somehow complicated because it has to do with forces. If you want walking to be used as part of your weight loss plan, your workout schedule needs to be consistent. The best way is to have a clear idea of where you will be walking on any given day. That way, you will feel comfortable knowing what to expect as you walk and not waste your time figuring out a route on the fly. It is recommended that walking an hour on most days of the week support weight loss. That is a significant amount of time to spend exercising. The good news is that this will also reduce your health risks, so it has multiple benefits.

Walking to Lose Weight

Walking is important for weight control depending on the duration and intensity of your walking. You could burn about 140 or more calories a day on a 30-minute brisk walk. If you want to lose a pound within seven days, you need to burn 500 calories a day or more depending on your weight. The more you exercise, the more calories you burn and walking is an exercise also, therefore the longer you walk and the quicker your pace, the more calories you’ll burn.

Start out a light intensity if you are new to a regular exercise and build to vigorous intensity. The number of calories you can burn by walking is determined by your weight and how fast your walking pace. Note that overdoing an exercise will increase the risk of soreness, injury, and burnout. Exercise is required more the moment you’ve lost weight because those who maintain their weight loss for a long term get regular physical activity. So, keep walking, but make sure you also follow a healthy diet.

          Walking and running were the only way of getting from one point to another. Walking mainly at a lively pace is a natural way in which we can burn calories and torch belly fat. Walking can be done anywhere at any time, and it has a greater chance to stress the joints in such a way that running can. Quick paced walking, in combination with healthy eating, is very effective for weight loss.

Efforts to Lose Weight

          One of the best things that you can do to enhance the chances of success for your efforts to lose weight by walking is to get a good quality pedometer that can track your daily activities. A lot of smart watches these days have pedometers built in. I personally use Samsungs brand. If you choose to use a regular old pedometer you can attach Pedometer to your clothing, close to your hip is the best location for it. It is light weight and has many features. The most crucial feature of a pedometer is to count the number of steps you take throughout your entire day.  The best thing you can do to find out how many miles you need to cover to drop extra pounds is to know the number of miles you have already covered. This way, you will know if there is a need to increase your steps or not. When you want to lose weight to about 1%, walking might not even come to mind, but now that you know how it can be of help, I guess it should.
