How Walking for Exercise Helps you Lose Weight
Walking for exercise is a purposeful, brisk walk specifically
designed for the purpose of improving health. It is one of the
best and cheapest forms of exercise. If you want to improve your
general health and keep fit, or if you want to reduce your
weight, walking is a good place to start.
Walking keeps you fit and helps you take off extra weight and
keep it off. It's cheap, it's simple and almost anybody can do
it. Walking has a multitude of health benefits for everyone.
Walking helps reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and
stroke, lowers high blood pressure, helps reduce weight and body
fat, helps reduce risk of some cancers, gives you more energy,
helps you sleep better, helps you look better and helps those
people who are recovering from a period of ill-health.
Walking for exercise does not need to be strenuous to produce
results. Even walking for 30 minutes a day has been reported to
produce measurable benefits, even among those who are least
active.
If you want to feel great, have more energy and improve your
overall health, take a walk. Walking is one of the best forms of
exercise and you can do it almost anywhere, anytime, and for
free. Do at least 30 minutes of exercise, like brisk walking,
most days of the week. The idea is to use
up more calories than
you eat. You need to use up the day's calories and some of the
calories stored in your body fat.
Along with its benefits to the heart, walking improves
circulation, helps breathing, combats depression, bolsters the
immune system, helps prevent osteoporosis, helps control weight
and helps prevent and control diabetes. It's a gentle exercise
and it's suitable if you are recovering from heart trouble, a
stroke or other illness. It helps the total circulation of blood
throughout the body, and thus has a direct effect on your
overall feeling of health.
Remember, if you have a medical condition, are overweight, over
40 years of age or haven't exercised regularly for a long time,
check with your doctor before you start any type of exercise
program. Your doctor or other health worker can help you set
sensible goals based on a proper weight for your height, build
and age.
