walking as exercise
Walking exercise
Walking can be an easy yet effective way to burn calories. Walking is great because it requires no equipment, except a comfortable pair of shoes. Walking as exercise can burn calories alone with toning leg muscles. Many people take walking for exercise for granted, but it is a very effective and cheap way of losing weight.
Here are a few tips on how to walk to achieve the maximal benefits.
PACE:
Go at a pace which your heart rate is within your target heart range. You should do this at least 3 days a week for 20 minutes. If you walk faster you can burn more calories in a shorter time.
TREADMILLS:
Even though I perfer walking on regular ground, a treadmill can be a very effective way to burn calories.
One advantage of a treadmill is you can do it inside and the incline can be adjusted. Raising the incline slightly also burns more calories.
MOVE YOUR ARMS
Swinging your arms also helps burn calories while your walking. Make sure your arms are between 90 and a 145 degree angle at the elbow. Make sure the arm is locked so the pivotal part of your swing is at your shoulder.

Walking along with a little jogging has all the benefits of sweating out in a gym for hours if done on a regular basis.

Any kind of exercise is great for weight loss. The plan is to burn more calories than you consume every day. But, how do you know how many calories you consume? One way to remember is by keeping a food journal to track your calorie intake and to see what kinds of meals are giving you the most energy.
I love to walk in between my HIT workouts. Works out great for me!!
thanks,
