Keep Walking & Lose Your Weight (Guest Post)

Hi guys!

Today I have a guest post for you written by Sunny Popali. You can follow him on Twitter here. In this article, he describes how walking is a good way to start losing weight. Personally, I think if you jazz up your workouts to a higher intensity, you will most definitely see better results--and faster. However, for some people this is simply not possible due to illnesses and muscle imbalances. Therefore, walking can be a great way to lose weight.

Keep Walking & Lose Your Weight

For most individuals, losing weight can be very hard. According to experts, exercise and diet plays an important role in maintaining the ideal weight that is appropriate for your age and gender. Would you believe if someone told you to keep walking and lose your weight? 

There is some truth in walking and losing weight. However, it will depend on the intensity and duration of walking. Another thing is that you also need to introduce dietary changes if you want to enjoy the benefits of walking. 

If you decide to stick with walking as your daily exercise to lose weight, you must consume fewer calories. In comparison to other physical activities or exercise, a combination of proper diet and walking can give you great results. 

The secret to losing weight is consuming fewer calories and burning more of it. On the average, you can lose about a pound every week if your daily calorie consumption is lessened by 500 calories. 

You can burn more calories through quick-pace walking. This is also known as brisk walking. Keep in mind that it is the intensity of the walking exercise that will help you burn calories. So if you simply walk slowly, it would be impossible to lose weight. You must aim for a moderately intense walking exercise. 

Experts suggest that you walk 3-4 miles/hour, and once you get used to it, you can increase the pace. You shouldn’t stop your walking exercise even if you’ve already reached your ideal weight. It is equally important to maintain it so you won’t gain weight in the future. Be sure to incorporate physical activities in your routine and eat a balanced diet. 

Even if you’re a busy person, you should be able to squeeze into your schedule regular walking exercises for at least an hour each day. If you can do this, you can also avoid stroke, heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, and breast cancer. Through walking, you do not only burn calories but you also enhance metabolism. 

Before getting involved in any physical activity, you need to consult a doctor. You should be in good shape if you want to start with walking exercises. Aside from walking, you can also perform easy workouts. It is up to you if you want to enroll at a local fitness center or gym. If you have a bicycle, you can also ride it every day. This is a great cardio workout that will not cost you anything, only your time and effort. 

As mentioned earlier, walking alone will not help you lose weight. You have to combine proper diet and exercise to get the best results. If you continuously consume more calories that what your body is burning, you will never lose shed those extra pounds. Keep track of your daily food intake, and if possible, you can consult with a dietician or nutritionist. You should be determined to introduce changes in your diet and lifestyle to achieve your fitness goals. It will take some time to see real results but your efforts will surely pay off in time.
