Lose Weight with Walking - How to lose weight with walking
Were you physically inactive for such a long time that you fear you do not have enough physical fitness for some serious exercise? The best way to start is by taking short walks. Everyone is fit enough for a 30 minute walk per day which can burn between 150 and 200 calories of course if walking faster than while shopping.
You burn calories every time you move and for that reason any kind of physical activity is helpful for weight loss including walking. Use your feet whenever possible: walk to the store and your workplace or get off the buss one station earlier, take the stair instead of elevator, invite your friends on a short walk in the park, etc. and you will walk your way to a healthy body weight.
150 calories you burn in 30 minute of brisk walking may seem little considering you need to burn 3,500 calories to lose one pound. This means you need to walk 30 minutes for 23 days to lose that pound and to lose 10 pounds you would need to walk for over 7 months. However, if you cut 150 calories from your daily diet which is one row of an average milk chocolate or walk for one hour you could lose 1 pound in 11 days and that is already very close to the healthy weight loss which foresees loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week.
