An Excellent Way Shed Off Some Pounds: Walking


by Luella Tzeremes


Having some form of personal workout plan is a fantastic way to get rolling losing weight. If you haven't worked out in a long time, or never, you may not know how to get started. Sometimes, it can seem a bit too much and even a little bit scary... But not to worry, there's a simple way to get back into exercise: walking! You definitely should incorporate walking into your exercise plan if it's not already there.

There are lots of ways you can fit walking into your day-to-day schedule. Are you a dog owner? Take it for a nice, long walk. Anything less than 10 minutes doesn't count. After 7 days, you'll have walked at least seventy minutes more than if you hadn't done it at all. If you and your dog go walking twice per day then that number doubles. If you don't live too far away from your job try walking there, or at least some of the way. Obviously, if you live a two hour walk frp, your workplace, it's not such a great idea to walk all the way there each day (but feel free to try if you think you can do it!) A 30-minute walk to work is doable, and if you walk to and from work you'll be walking for an hour per day. On the other hand, if you ride a bus to work, just use a bus stop farther away than the one you ordinarily use. Adding more walking into your day-to-day agenda is a breeze.

Walking is wonderful for your body and general health. This is because walking is one of the most efficacious aerobic exercises. This means it's not just terrific for your heart, but you'll experience weight loss too. You don't have to be concerned about overworking your joints or muscles like when running, as you can walk as slowly as you need to. I have a skinny brother who seems to be able to gobble up anything he wants and remain thin. I asked him about it. He pointed out to me how often he goes out to walk daily, and it's a lot more than I do. At least it now is perfectly clear. There is no good reason not to exercise, when walking is very easy.

Try getting into a routine of walking everyday as you'll have a better chance of sticking to it, and with the right diet, you'll be able to melt off the flab with no problem. By walking you'll also feel better and you won't be bored by it since it's not strenuous at all, which will make you feel more motivated. As you walk more and observe changes, you'll want to do more or step up the intensity of your walks. If you are confident that you can walk more - do it. Who knows? It could be that you'll get used to walking a lot that you decide you're ready to step it up by jogging. After that, only the sky's your limit.

There should be no excuse for you to not go out and walk even a short distance every day. You can always find time to walk around your work complex, or the block. If that's not possible, join a public gym and get on a treadmill. There are lots and lots of ways to skin this exercise cat.
