Your ability to lose weight is determined by many factors, such as your initial weight (overweight people are more likely to initially experience greater weight loss), how closely you follow your weight loss program, and how steep your caloric deficit is. . In any case, the "key" to losing weight is to burn more calories than you get through your diet, thus ensuring a calorie deficit.
Exercise is the most effective way to increase the calories your body burns, while also helping you maintain your muscle mass as you lose fat.
According to the experts' recommendations, adults should do 150-300 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise (such as walking) or 75-150 minutes of intense exercise each week. To make sure you achieve this goal, you need to walk at a moderate pace, ie a rate that reaches 50-70% of your upper heart rate.
Walking is the easiest way to increase your body's calorie burning and consequently enhance your weight loss.
Since you only need a pair of comfortable sneakers and not specific instructions, an accredited trainer or a specific location, it is easy to integrate walking into your daily routine, wherever you are. Not all people can run, lift weights or be consistent in their training. Walking on the other hand can be included in any part of your day, whether it is early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Although you can always improve your performance, walking is something you already know how to do so it does not require complicated instructions.
In fact, because it is a mild form of exercise, walking does not put much strain on your body. So, if you do other forms of exercise at the same time, your performance in them will not be affected by walking, which means that you can add it to your daily routine without compromising your main workout.
However, walking does not burn a significant number of calories. Therefore, you should walk for more time in order to burn a sufficient number of calories. It will take some time to see a difference in your body, however if you go out for a walk regularly, your progress will gradually be seen. After all, losing weight is a process that requires perseverance and patience from you.
