Guide to Walking for Weight Loss
There is almost nothing negative to say about walking—it’s relaxing, it’s good for your body, and it doesn’t require any special skills. For most people, walking never becomes competitive or stressful. A couple of daily short strolls can do wonders for your mood and your health. Walking can also be a heart-pounding, calorie-burning workout that helps fight inactivity and its related metabolic diseases. In this Walking for Weight Loss guide, we’re going to explain exactly how to intensify your walks for maximum health effects without feeling pressure to break into a run if that’s not an option for you. What’s so beneficial about walking?

Short bursts of brisk walking—even just 10 minutes per day, every day for a week—provide a host of benefits, including boosted fitness, improved mood, and a 15 percent lower risk of early death, according to research.
