Exercise with walking is gentle but very effective, provided of course that you are walking vigorously and without any stop as long as you choose.
Benefits of walking
1. “Burn” calories, improves the rate of metabolism.
2. Helps strengthen the body, reduce local subcutaneous fat, helps to restore the loose body areas, as a result of the weight loss.
3. Helps to strengthen the bones (something especially important for women).
4. Reduces symptoms of varicose veins, helps the circulatory system.
5. Reduces blood pressure and pulse when you are relaxed
6. Help overcoming headaches.
7. Helps you be calmer with less stress, “intensity”, “nerves” that often cause greed, need for food.
After a good walk you would feel better, more relaxed, less stressed, and less “need” for food.
Walking can help weight loss
Walking can help you loose weight and not only that, it makes you feel less hungry and keeps the blood flow away from the digestive system. You can assume that you will burn up to 500 calories in an hour (depending on your step), which corresponds to a modest meal.
The main rules for enabling weight loss through walking are:
Start with small distances the first 5-6 days, walk a total of 15-20 minutes, but make a promise to your self to walk daily.
Gradually expand the distance, walking 10 more minutes every day, having the intension to walk for at least an hour.
Follow the same pattern with speed. The first day’s start with a slow but steady pace and as the days pass increases your pace.
Dressed comfortably, put soft shoes, with no or minimal heel.
Walking without tension, without tightening the body. Walk comfortably, not hunchbacked, do not pin your eyes on the ground. Walking vigorously, without stopping at every corner or shop you will meet. Do not hold anything in your hands.
When you first start walking you may feel stiff, sore. This is natural, because your muscles work. But if you have difficulties in breathing, or have tachycardia, moderate your step, or stop to rest, resume walking, but at a slower pace and less time.
You can walk anywhere, any time you want. Inside the streets filled with traffic, or somewhere quietly, with or without company. Choose what suits you more. Choose a destination every time you walk. Walk from home to a friend’s house, or to go to the market.
The best is to do your walking with no stops, so you will have better results. If this is very difficult for your, split it into two parts.
The ideal is to get to walk 5-6 kilometers in an hour.
