The Best Exercise for Losing Weight

 

I get asked all the time, “what is the best exercise for losing weight?”

• Running?
• Cycling?
• Lifting weights?
• Circuit training?
• Cross Fit?

Look down, there is your answer….WALKING!

Walking is the most effective way for shedding pounds & improving your health & fitness. And here is why:

1. You don’t need to be fit to start.
2. It’s completely free.
3. You don’t need to join a gym.
4. It can be done anytime & anywhere.
5. Walking is low impact on the joints.
6. Improves your mindset & self-esteem.
7. Boosts your overall energy levels.
8. Walking in the sun can naturally top up your vitamin D levels.
9. Enhances your recovery between workouts.
10. Easy & effective way to burn calories.

Whether you are a complete beginner or a regular gym goer, walking & it’s countless benefits can help you live more active & healthy life.

I recommend walking for 30 minutes a day most days, with the goal of walking between 8000-10000 steps per day. This can be done in one outing or can be split into 2×15 or 3×10 minute blocks throughout the day. In the morning before work, during your lunch break & after dinner in the evening. Find a way that fits into your lifestyle.
