Is It The Best Way To Lose Weight?
Your question:
Is walking the best way to lose weight?
The fitness expert answers:
Any form of cardiovascular exercise that increases your heart rate to
approximately 70 percent of your maximum heart rate, is going to help you
lose weight.
This includes walking, swimming, cycling, running, spinning,
elliptical trainers, stair machines and more. Walking is low-impact with a
low risk of injury and it is easily accessible because you don't even need
to go to the gym. Lace-up your favorite pair of athletic shoes and start moving!
Set goals for yourself by increasing your speed or distance and
keep track of your progress so you'll know when to step it up a bit. With a
healthy diet and some form of moderate to intense cardiovascular
exercise, 30 minutes, three to five days a week, you should start to see results.
