An Excellent Way to Achieve Weight Loss: Walking
Posted at by ifydcat on category diet
So, you’ve decided it’s a good time you begin losing a little weight, and that working out frequently would be a good way to begin. But you probably haven’t exercised in a long while, so you don’t know where to begin. It probably seems a bit frustrating. But not to worry, there’s an easy way to start exercising again: walking! You definitely must integrate walking into your exercise plan if you haven’t done so already.
You’ll be surprised how simple it is to squeeze walking into your exercise regimen. If you have a pet dog then take your pet for a walk around the block for a minimum of ten minutes. It may only have been ten minutes, but over a week that equals to 70 minutes, which is quite a great deal of walking. If you take your dog for a walk two times a day then that number doubles. If you don’t live too far away from work walk there, or at least a part of the way. Obviously, if you live quite far frp, your office, it’s not such a good idea to walk all the way there daily (but feel free to try if you think you can do it!) If you’re lucky enough to get just a thirty-minute or so walk to where you work, that’ll be an extra hour of walking each day. On the other hand, if you use public transport to go to work, simply use a bus stop farther away than the one you usually use. You’ll find it actually is no big deal to add more walking to your daily exercise program.
Walking is excellent for your body and general health. This is because walking is one of the most effective aerobic exercises. This means it’s not only good for your heart, but you’ll get rid of extra pounds as well. You can go at a fairly slow pace if necessary, so don’t be worried that you’re going to injure your muscles or joints as you might if you went for a run. I have a brother who’s one of those people who consumes a ton of junk and fast food but never puts on weight. How does he do it? He tells me doesn’t know, but he did tell me that he does a lot of walking daily. It all made sense when he said that. Walking is easy exercise, so you should find no reason to not bother.
Try and get into a routine of walking everyday since you’ll have a better chance of sticking to it, and with the right diet, you’ll be able to lose weight quickly. You won’t have to worry about motivation, since walking is not all that strenuous, and you’ll be pleased at how much better you feel. As you walk more and see changes, you’ll want to do more or increase the intensity of your walks. Why not, if you feel like it? Try walking at a faster pace or, if you’re feeling really positive, you could start jogging. From there, you can progress to more vigorous exercises.
Now you know the truth – there is absolutely no excuse to not get out there and start walking. No matter how busy you may be, you can certainly find 10 minutes here and there for a quick walk. Another possibility is to join a gym and use their treadmills for a half hour or so each day.
