Walking to lose weight

Ok, I know we all want to be fit and healthy,right?  well.. its sooo hard to get in to a routine! 
But I have found a solution to my troubles. WALKING! Its not that hard to walk..trying to lose the extra pounds we all put on over the HOLIDAYS and trying to look good and feel good is a mission.

I say start at the basics.. WALKING PLAN!

Walking to lose weight, such as a brisk walking program, is mild cardio exercise and, when done properly, it is very effective for fat loss. It can be done outdoors or indoors on a treadmill. Do not do walking to lose weight on consecutive days. Walk every other day or simply walk three times weekly. This will give your body time to rest and adjust. Always start at the best pace you can manage. as you warm up..increase the distance slightly. Continue walking every other day until you are walking 4 miles.

Once you are able to do that, slightly increase your pace with each walk until you are walking those 4 miles in just under 1 hour every other day. This will burn many extra calories during and immediately after your walks. As you and your body adapt to the new exercise routine you can begin a strength training program to increase your lean muscle mass. Lean muscle is your metabolic furnace that will burn extra calories 24 hours a daily.

Remember,It is important to do cardio exercise at the right intensity. (full body movement) to obtain the maximum benefits and the proper steps in losing weight. Last but not least wear the proper attire and Always take water with you.

* Always consult your doctor before starting any Diet and Excerise Plan.
