Walking is the perfect exercise. It has about the same effect as running provided you do it right
way.
It's also risk free you don't cause harm to your joints only thing is that
it takes more time or obvious reasons. The best part is that it can be
done anywhere at anytime by anyone, also it requires no training, special
equipment just a decent pair of soft sole shoes. Walking backward is even more efficient, burning 78% more calories than walking
forward.
Here are some valuable
tips on making walking a better exercise and maximizing your effort
:
You should always increase the pace not your stride :
Walking at a fast 4.5 miles per hour pace can be achieved by a
normal person. Take more steps per minute at your normal or a
slightly shorter-than normal stride, and remember don't increase your
stride. This way you won't feel tired and maximize fat burn.
The most common mistakes that most people make by thinking that if they walk with a bigger stride they
cover more distance and burn more fat they're wrong; take more small steps
count your steps in a minute and start increasing the number of steps you
take in a minute in a gradual phase.
Try to walk as if you are walking on a straight line this gives maximum
movement to your waist and hips also remember to swing your arms.
