Walking Weight Loss Tips
1 - Outside or Inside
Should you use a treadmill or do your walk outside? It has been found that you often get a better overall workout and burn more calories with each session if you go outside. Outdoor exercise will require more balance and more muscle coordination than if you stroll on a treadmill which is a perfectly even surface. Plus if you are outside you get fresh air and your body is craving it. It will invigorate you!
2 - Walking or Jogging for weight loss
Jogging may burn more calories but it also puts you at much higher risk for injury. And for many people it hurts their knees and joints and ankles. Even though a walk will burn fewer calories, what many people find is that they enjoy this exercise so much more that they do it for much longer than running. So they still can burn as many calories as joggers. And they have less injuries so they are able to keep doing it day in and day out.
It has been found that people who were the most successful in losing weight and keeping it off for good used a walking program to lose weight.
