June 24th, 2009Walking for Weight Loss
In general we need to be more active in our lives. Walking is the easiest way and least expensive exercise option available to us. If you are a baby boomer or senior and or you are just not in shape, start your weight loss program by walking 20 to 30 minutes a day at a pace that is slightly uncomfortable to you. Walking will increase your metabolism and energy which are both important to burn fat and lose weight. Sure a healthy diet plan is important to weight loss. You must burn more fat than you consume to lose weight. Walking will help you do that. There are countless testimonies of people who lose weight simply by changing their eating habits and walking everyday.
As you reach a certain fitness level you want to increase your walking intensity to lose more weight and improve your health. After a week or two you will be able to increase your speed and or even go longer. In any case you should increase your intensity in your walking weight loss plan.
