OCTOBER 3 2023 WALKING IS EXERCISE

We all walk ! I love walking as an exercise. You have to walk if you have ever lived in New York City Here is a list of five tips that you can try because they are effective, efficient with proven results.

First set a goal Start your day by setting a goal that you can fulfill. For instance, set a target of 3000 steps per day and make sure you achieve your target. As weeks pass by, you can increase the target from 3,000, 5,000, 7,000 to 10,000 steps per day.

Try to walk more often . Instead of using the subway, train, taxi or Uber walk to the destination

Check on how calories you are burning. Must do 85 % of your predicted heart rate. Your 100 % is 220- age = predicted heart rate . Take 85 % of that number and that’s what your heart rate needs to get to when walking. Walking is an excellent physical activity to boost your metabolism, increase your heart rate for a stable cardiac output, strengthen your bones. But to get rid of the fat, you need to walk and be mindful of the food you eat. Limit refined carbohydrates. Eat fruit, vegetables and protein Drink adequate amounts of water.

Try to do inclines. Chose a hilly area because walking uphill causes your body to burn calories faster. It is as efficient as walking on a treadmill. If you do not have access to an inclined area, use your stairs to help you
