Walking is something that we all do everyday, but most people don’t look at walking as a legitimate way to lose weight, burn fat, and maintain a healthy weight. And I used to think the same way. After all “a walk in the park” by defnitiion is something that sounds very easy. and usually when we picture somebody doing whatever it takes to lose weight we don’t imagine someone walking, instead we usually picture someone running as hard as they can on a tredmill covered in sweat. But the truth is that walking consistently throughout the week can make a big difference in how you look and how you feel. This is especially true if you’re currently not exercising and you can’t seem to find the motivation to start working out. Since most people are undervaluing the benefits that walking can have on their body, today I want to go over exactly what you can expect to happen if you simply take a 30 minute walk everyday. And I’m sure the first thing you’re wondering is can doing something as simple as walking actually help you lose weight. Well even though walking is not as hard as running or even jogging it’s still considered a low to moderate form of aerobic exercise and if you walk ethier at a faster pace, or for long distances, or you walk very often like everyday, in all of these cases you’ll be adding a good amount of extra calories to your deficit. Now most of you have heard of the saying that you can’t out run a bad diet so you’re probably thinking that it’s very unlikely that you’ll be out walking a bad diet anytime soon. But this is taken out of context, even though a really bad diet will make it physically impossible to lose any weight at all, exercise happens to be just as important specifically for long term success. And when people say things like 80 percent of your results come from your diet, it devalue’s the powerful effects that consistent exercise brings to the table. The reason why people think this way to begin with is because a lot of the studies that compare the effects that diet and exercise have on weight loss end up coming to the conclusion that dieting alone usually results in more weight lost than just exercising alone. But after reviewing a bunch of these studies researchers realized that the calories burnt from diet and exercise were not matched in most of these studies. Sometimes the diet only group would be cutting away 1700 extra calories per day, and that would be compared to an exercise only group that was only burning 200 extra calories per day. Obviously with a flawed setup like that the diet group will always come out on top. But researchers found that when calories are actually matched weight loss is matched, and by finding this they were able to conclude that exercise alone without any form of diet restriction can be an effective strategy for losing weight. Again even though you won’t be outwalking a horrible diet, as long as you have a descent diet walking everyday can definitely move the scale in the right direction. Walking burns about 100 calories per mile. If you walk at a fast pace you can burn anywhere from 150 to 200 calories in 30 minutes. If you walk at that same fast pace for an hour we’re looking at up to 400 calories. 200 to 400 calories per day can definitely make a big difference. In one study participants were instructed to only add 1,000 steps per day without making any diet modifications. Not only did their leg strength, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels improve, but they also lost weight, lost
