How to walk to lose weight and stay in shape?

Thanh Nien Newspaper quoted the news site Eat This, Not That! as saying that according to fitness trainer James Rodgers, who is working in the US, walking is a great activity for weight loss and will be more useful if you make it a natural habit, done regularly and with a plan.

However, this coach does not encourage plans that are difficult to implement regularly and are "unimaginable" for many people, such as walking 10,000 steps/day, because this can become a burden.

To walk effectively, first focus on building endurance through regular exercise. Your walking sessions should have specific goals, perhaps starting with just 15 minutes, then increasing by 10 minutes every 2-3 weeks until you reach the 1 hour mark.

In addition, this trainer also advises people to not only focus on the number of steps but also combine speed and tempo (number of steps/minute), pay attention to swinging the arms faster. In particular, walking on new terrain that challenges the muscles (trails, bumpy roads, parks) will make the workout more interesting.

Another misconception about walking is that it's not "hard enough" or not vigorous enough to aid in weight loss. According to James Rodgers, there are many ways to increase the intensity of your walk through terrain, speed, incline, and carrying weight.

James Rodgers also emphasizes that walking on an incline increases heart rate, increases fat burning and works muscles, including the glutes, quadriceps and calves.

In addition, walking with a companion can also help us discover new routes and share useful tips to make exercise less boring and more effective.
