Lose Weight
Lose Weight
There is no wonder we have become nations of overweight and obese people, as we are also guilty of becoming more and more like couch potatoes. We sit around watching the television and go everywhere in the car. No longer do we cycle and walk.
Let’s change the trend. Walk everywhere and lose weight. Is it possible to lose weight walking? Yes it is, walking is one of the best ways to burn calories from fat and lose weight. When running you burn more carbohydrates than fat. Reducing fat is the beginning of any program to lose weight.
Simply to lose weight you have to burn more calories than you consume. An easy way to do this is to walk everywhere you can.
If you are grossly overweight and need to lose more than 40 pounds then you probably need to see a doctor before beginning any program to lose weight.
Walking though is what we do naturally. Modern day living tends to make us walk less and less. Instead we rely more and more on the car. You cannot stop progress but what you can do if you want to lose weight is actively look for opportunities to walk more.
Walk to the corner store, walk up the stairs, park as far away from the supermarket or any shops entrance. Walk the dog around the neighborhood ( take your poop bag though, think of the environment and others) or if no dog just walk around the neighborhood; you will find that you will begin talking to strangers and become acquaintances – maybe friends over time.
Walk more on the weekend when you are not working, walk around the local park. Look for hills to walk up and down. Visit art galleries and museums, you can walk around these all day and learn something as well.
Join a walking group or form one. Two is a group, so you do not need 20 to make it work. Ignore the rain, walk anyway, you can put on wet weather gear or use an umbrella.
Walk and lose weight, get healthy. You can power walk with small weights in each hand. Improvise, carry a small bag of rice in each hand.
The possibilities to walk are endless. Instead of a coffee break take a walk break around the office or walk to the next floor or office. You can walk virtually anywhere and lose weight. Of course it is important to remember that it is necessary to eat a well balanced nutritious diet and to avoid the food that we know will cause us to gain weight.
