Walking To Lose Weight Burns The Fat Fast

Burn more calories than you consume to lose weight.  Once the diet part is planned, get to stepping.  This means 30 minutes a day seven days a week of aerobic work.  It can be running on a treadmill, swimming, or even walking to lose weight.  Walking is a low impact way to fulfill the exercise goal.  With a few tips in mind it can be even better.

Forget the idea of only three or five days a week, aerobic exercise is something you need perform every day forever.

But then more can be added.  Additional activity, outside that 30 minutes a day seven days a week, is easy.  Park the car further from the store or office, then walk.  Instead of gobbling a bagel while riding the elevator up to your floor, enjoy a some fruit while walking up the stairs.  When it's time to remove leaves use the old fashioned hand rake rather than the leaf blower.  Muscle power is exercise.  If you have kids get involved in their games of tag, or chase.  They'll love it and so will your body.

After getting accustomed to walking that 30 minutes every day, make some adjustments by adding intervals.  Intervals are short bursts of increased activity sprinkled into a normal routine.  Start out by running for 30 seconds every 10 minutes of the walk.  Gradually up this to a one minute run every five minutes, which would work like this.  You walk for the first four minutes, then run for the fifth, then walk the next four minutes, run the next minute, and so on for the entire 30 minutes.  Keep in mind that a run is not a jog, it's faster, like a sprint.  So if you have to work up to run with jog at first. After a short period of walking run, then walk again, then go back to running.  Start out running once or twice in a 30 minute walk, then up it to more often until you're walking 4 minutes then running 1 minute  It's not that hard.

Make walking a whole family activity.  Walk the kids to school instead of driving them.  Walk to the store.  Get out and see the sights.  And no, don't stop walking just because of some rain.  Wear a rain coat and some galoshes.
