Walking for Weight Loss
Escrito por admin el 7 septiembre 2009 – 09:21 -Fitness trends come and go. Spinning, Cardio Striptease, Pilates, Vibration Machines – there are loads of different exercise routines other there. Any kind of exercise is good – anything that you can enjoy that gets your body moving is a good thing. If all the options and trends are too much – then it’s time to fall back on the most accessible exercise – walking.
Many people underestimate the effectiveness of walking for weight loss and heart health. All exercise burns calories, but not all exercise is necessarily using fat as the primary source of those calories. Walking is a great fat burner, and is without the injury risk of running, jogging, or other more intense exercise. If joint pain is an issue you can opt for an elliptical trainer which emulates the ambulatory motion of walking, but without any impact on joints.
Walking is something you can do anywhere – no special gear required – except maybe a good pair of shoes (these are a necessity). A pedometer is useful (but not necessary) and makes it easy to keep track of pace and duration.
Jon Benson suggests the following formula:
Base your activity on the following formula: moderate exercise = about 1,000 steps for every 10 minutes. Intense exercise = about 2,000 steps for every 10 minutes.
