Walking Off Weight



Walking Off Weight
     If you really want to lose weight fast you have to exercise regularly, preferably twice a day. Do the more heavy sports in the morning and long walk in the evening.
      With regards to intensity, exercises which involve some degree of impact, such as walking, will normally boost the heart rate more quickly than non impact activities, such as cycling or swimming.
      Walking at a moderate pace for 30-60 minutes burns stored fat and can build muscle to speed up your metabolism.   
         
       A Duke University study found that while 30 minutes of daily walking is enough to prevent weight gain in most relatively sedentary people, exercise beyond 30 minutes results in weight and fat loss. Burning an additional 300 calories a day with three miles of brisk walking (45 minutes should do it) could help you lose 30 pounds in a year without even changing how much you’re eating.Walking an hour a day is also associated with cutting your risk of heart disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes and stroke. Isn't it time to work 1-hour walks into your busy lifestyle?

   For five minutes at least every two hours. Stuck at a desk all day? A brisk five-minute walk every two hours will parlay into an extra 20-minute walk by the end of the day. And getting a break will make you less likely to reach for snacks.
     If you don’t like exercising, you can find someone to team up with as give will give you the necessary moral support to keep going. Exercising this way for a longer time period will result in you losing weight quick. The Centers for Disease Control says that’s all it takes to help you shed as much as 10 pounds a year (assuming you don’t start eating more).
