#5 Losing Weight
If given an option, all of us would eat the most unhealthiest food possible. If allotted a wish, we would want to eat non stop without gaining weight and working out.
Going to a gym can be a real task if you are lazy like me. So what are the other ways of losing weight? Constant walk on daily basis can help you in this like no one else.
#4 Walking
Walking is possibly the best form of exercise your body can get if done properly. Even statistically speaking, walking can be very handy in losing weight.
On every 100 mile walk, you burn around 100 calories. That means if you walk 4 miles daily, you are going to lose 400 calories. This is not it. There is much more about walking that you don't know.
Keep reading ahead to know that.
#3 Pedometer
If you are planning to walk and lose weight, make sure that you do everything right. Always keep a gadget along that shows you your effort regularly. A Pedometer works fine.
Just wear it around the hip area and it will help in recording the number of steps you take. If you see your hard work yourself, it'll encourage you to work even harder.
#2 Number Of Steps
Speaking of recording the number of steps you take, how many steps should you take to lose weight? Let us give you a proper stats of that as well.
One mile= 2000 steps and 100 calories burned
1 pound= 3500 calories
Losing 1 pound in a week= 500 calories/day
Walk 10,000 steps to lose 1 pound of weight!
#1 The Posture
Every exercise has to be performed in a perfect posture to avoid any injury. Walking is no different. Keep your eyes 100 feet forward, tighten the abdomen, hold your chin up and squeeze your glutes. This should be your walking style if you are doing walking as exercise.
Make sure that you at least walk 3 to 4 days a week. You should see a difference in your body soon.
