How Walking for Exercise Helps you Lose Weight



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 its 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.
