For optimal body fat burning, try and maintain a determined pace that is comfortable to you. The pace can challenge you; but you should still be able to carry on a conversation. Always warm up with a nice and easy pace for 5-10 minutes to let your muscles know you plan to be active for a while. This tells your muscles they can't just sit back and burn up the available sugars, they need to start burning body fat. Always cool down after your workout with a 5-10 minute nice and easy cool down walk as well. In order to prevent strains and injuries, try doing some stretching routines afterwards. This keeps your muscles from tightening up and keeps you more flexible.
A sensible goal is burning 1-2 pounds of fat a week. But you have to do more than just walk. Weight loss success is not only dependent on your increased physical activity, it's dependent on a healthy eating plan. So start one when you start your exercise program for fast results. Consistency is also key to your walking to lose weight success. You should have at least 5 days a week of walking, even if on some days you must decrease your time and distance. Rest days are important so make day 3 a rest day and day 6 a rest day. Go slow and easy, you need to build strength and give your joints and muscles time to get use to what you're asking of them. Enough talk, time to get on your walking shoes, get outside and burn some fat. Smiles...Gigi
