“Although weight loss is slow, the result lasts for a long time. In addition, this type of activity has a positive effect on health and well-being in general.”

Scientists have conducted many studies that have confirmed that walking increases the effect of weight loss and decreases body mass index, as well as contributes to the breakdown of fat in those who walk at least 10,000 steps a day.

Covering this distance can burn up to 300-400 calories, depending on your weight and height. For example, for a person weighing 68 pounds, the calorie expenditure will be four to six calories per minute.

In addition, walking tones your muscles and increases your heart rate, two factors that help normalize weight. However, a funky walk around the block will not be enough to trigger the fat burning process.

If you want to achieve a good effect, make it a rule to walk at a speed of at least 5 km / h, gradually increasing this figure and the load (more often go up and down stairs or use special weights for legs).

To know exactly how fast you are walking and how many calories you burn per walk, use a fitness tracker or track your progress with a walking app. This will help you see momentum and improve your results.

Note that walking is not suitable for everyone, particularly in these cases:

• Recent surgeries;
• chronic diseases in acute form;
• high blood pressure;
• flat feet;
• injuries to the hands and joints;
• abnormalities in the development of the musculoskeletal system;
• heart defects.

Talk to a physical therapist or other specialist about whether this type of exercise is right for you.
