How to lose weight with walking?
Why walking is essential for a long life?



1. How to walk?

Walking speed depends upon your age, weight and your height. It also depends upon your fitness level. For general health fitness purpose walk for 20 minutes daily and for weight lose walk for 30 to 60 minutes daily.

Ideally you should walk for 15 to 30 minutes 5 times a week.

Let me explain the correct posture for a walk.

Keep your head up and stand tall. Keep your backbone erect. Do not try to bend your knees. Breathe deeply. Inhale long breaths and exhale completely.

Now take your first step. Lift your right foot. Your heel should land first on the floor before your toes. Push the ground forward with your toes. Stand firm on your right foot and then lift your left foot.

In this way you should start your walking routine.

How to lose weight with walking?

This question is the title of my article. Walking can help you lose weight and you will be able to maintain your weight. It is important to lose weight but it is also important to maintain your weight, once you have achieved your goal.

For most people walking is a hobby.

If you want to lose weight with walking, you will have to follow a specific walking program. Schedule your time. Walk 30 to 60 minutes daily. Divide these 60 minutes into 4 intervals.


Take 5 to 10 minutes to warm up yourself.
Next 10 to 15 minutes keep walking at a good speed
Next 10 minutes run, so that your heart beat increases
For the remaining period keep walking and in the last 5 minutes slow down and appreciate your efforts.



Start your walking routine with 30 minutes a day and then gradually increase your time to 60 minutes daily.

Keep in mind:

If you feel pain during exercise, stop at once. Consult your doctor.

Have fun. Find a partner. Keep talking to your partner and enjoy the journey.

Walk at a comfortable pace. Let me explain.

Everyone has his own comfort zone. To achieve success we have to come out of our comfort zone and enter into our effort zone. To lose weight you will have to come out of your comfort zone, but I don't want you to put stress on yourself.

Before you start your walking routine, remember these 2 points:


Wear comfortable clothes and shoes
Take a water bottle with you. Drink 2 glasses of water after exercise.
