Many are already thinking about how and doubt how to start. Setting goals, striving and perseverance. Those are the keys to lose weight walking. This is stated in a report published by the US version of the magazine “Men’s Health”, in which they state that ten kilos can be lost in two months with the simple habit of walking.
According to the text published by the prestigious North American publication, the main key is in the effort. They emphasize that increasing the amount of daily exercise is essential; that is, if we walk 2 kilometers a day to go to work and what we want is to lose weight, we must increase the distances of the daily walks. The report says that a good starting point is 7 kilometers a day, the equivalent of the 10,000 steps recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) to prevent vascular diseases and others related to sedentary lifestyles such as diabetes.
Another of the keys that the report reveals is the need for everyone to set their own goals and challenge themselves daily. Thus, if this week I have walked an average of 5 kilometers a day, I must challenge myself to make that distance 6 kilometers next week. The next 7 and so on. In addition to the distances, another of the strong points is the rhythm: it is more effective to walk fast. This will also help strengthen other parts of the athlete’s body.
Getting rid of complexes is also vital. “You shouldn’t let the runners give you a complex”, highlights the report published by magazine. They also recommend signing up for sports events: this will help to set goals, to continue training and to practice exercise on the day of the event as well.
Likewise, the report also dismantles some myths: walking with weights in the arms does not help quite the opposite, because it will make us move with less agility. They also demystify walking with long steps. On the contrary, to go fast they recommend short steps.
The is also key.
