Are you walking? If you aren't, think about starting today: this is the easiest of exercises and does the most good for your entire body.
To start just put your mind to thinking 'I want to lose those extra pounds and I will promise myself I will begin eating healthy and I will start a walking routine.' Get yourself some good sneakers that will provide support for your feet and get out the door and start.
You may think that walking will not bring great results, but remember to keep moving and you will have that lean body.
You'll need first to get your body ready for your walking workout, by warming up. To me getting warmed up is starting at a slower pace then building up to a pace that is perfect for me, and then I cool down the same way, at a slower pace. Walk at a comfortable pace: don't push yourself too fast especially at first, building up to a higher level of movement slowly.
Make walking a daily habit or at least 3-5 times a week depending on your schedule. It is the frequency not the distance at first that will be of benefit, start out slow, perhaps around the block then go another block, etc. Be sure to concentrate on walking with a purposeful stride, back straight, head tall, arms swinging freely back and forth at your sides.
After walking a week think about increasing your distance and think about taking faster steps, not longer strides. When you speed up the frequency you will reach optimal fitness walking and fat burning, don't forget that information.
Get to where you can handle a good brisk pace of walking at 30 minutes per day and you will see results.
You might even do ten minutes of easy walking, ten minutes of very fast walking and then ten minutes of slow walking again. Make your own walking schedule and follow it weekly
and, when paired with eating healthy, you will lose those
extra unwanted pounds as I did.
