Walking for weight loss: This walking technique can help you burn fat

Health 20:52 05.05.2019

WALKING is one of the easiest forms of exercise – and this technique will help for weight loss and help you burn fat.

Just 30 minutes of exercise every day is a great way to improve overall health.

Regular exercise can also be beneficial for weight loss, and can help prevent conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.

And something as easy as a brisk walk can help you live a healthier life.

Walking is the easiest form of exercise because it keeps you healthy and injury-free.

But to make sure you burn fat you should consider your technique.

A normal stroll is better than sitting stationary, but if you want to turn your normal walk into fitness it requires some extra thought.

Here the best technique to burn fat, as put forward by the Mayo Clinic.

1. Posture is important, so keep your head up and look straight forward

2. Keep your neck, shoulders and back relaxed

3. Swing your arms slightly and bend your elbows

4. Tighten your core slightly and keep your back straight

5. Walk smoothly and roll your foot from heel to toe

When you go out for your brisk walk remember to get shoes with proper arch support.

The heel should be firm and the soles should be flexible.

Your first 10 minutes should be a warm up to prepare your muscles for exercise.

How far and fast you need to walk depends on how much weight you want to lose.

Walking a mile (1.6km) burns approximately 100 calories, according to Healthline.

If you want to burn more calories you can increase the intensity of your walk, or add inclines.

For every 30 minutes of walking at a brisk pace you should burn 100 to 300 calories, or 200 to 600 in an hour.

Remember to cool down after your brisk walk, 10 minutes should give the muscles time to cool down.

After your cool down remember to stretch your muscles
