How to walk to lose weight?

Although many people know that walking can help lose weight, we can also increase the intensity of weight loss through some small changes. Walking itself is a very non-intense exercise and the effect will be slow, so if you want to lose weight by walking, you still need to persist for a long time. Don't give up halfway. Next, we will introduce to you in detail how to walk to lose weight.

1. Increase your walking stride

If you use walking as a weight loss exercise, you can't just walk casually like you normally do. You need to increase your stride appropriately. Only by walking forward with big strides can you exercise your thigh muscles and avoid carrot legs.

2. Land on your heel first

The heel touches the ground first, rather than the entire sole of the foot. Put your center of gravity on your front foot. With each step you take, your front foot must touch the ground in the order of heel, sole, and toes. When you walk in this way, your heel will naturally lift up, and the curve of your legs will become tight and even.

3. Throwing the bag to train the arms

Women usually carry a handbag when they go out. Without disturbing others, they can use it as a "mini sports equipment" and swing it back and forth. This action of swinging the bag can exercise the arm muscles. But be careful not to swing the bag back and forth if it is too heavy, otherwise it will not only easily damage your shoulder joints, but may also injure passers-by around you.

4. Exercise while waiting for the bus

While waiting for the bus or the traffic light, you don’t have nothing to do. You can use this time to do abdominal exercises. Focus your attention on your abdomen and tighten it with all your strength, feeling as if your navel is close to your back. Hold for 6 seconds and then return to the original position. Repeat these simple exercises whenever you have time!

The above content is an introduction to how to walk to lose weight. In real life, we spend a lot of time on the road. If the distance is not long, you can choose to walk. This can not only reduce transportation costs, but also effectively exercise the body to achieve the purpose of weight loss. However, you should pay attention to your posture when walking.
