Pedometer Fat Calorie

While dieting can help with short term weight loss, a more effective approach is to increase your metabolic rate. This is done by building muscle, and regular walking is one way to do this. Increasing your activity levels is crucial to losing weight, maintaining a healthy weight, and increasing overall health and fitness levels. Walking when you would normally drive is a practical way to increase your activity and the number of calories burned during an average day, without having to go to a gym. If all this is new to you, start off with slow, short sessions and build your way up gradually. If you have any health concerns or medical conditions, be sure to check with your doctor for advice before you begin.

Low-impact aerobic exercise such as walking is ideal if you wish to lose weight. Used instead of jogging and other strenuous exercises, it places less stress on the joints. As long as you exercise at your target heart rate you will get all the health benefits of aerobic activity, maximizing your weight loss whilst decreasing the possibility of injury. Walking improves your cardiovascular fitness, and recent studies also suggest that walkers live longer. Studies on walking for weight loss and general health from the British Heart Foundation show that walkers can expect improvements in overall fitness and in energy levels, in circulation and in stamina building. Walking also helps reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke, helps lower blood pressure, helps reduce high cholesterol, aids weight loss by reducing body fat, and so helps maintain a healthy weight. It also reduces stress and creates a feeling of well being, increases bone density, which helps prevent osteoporosis, and minimises the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Walking is one of the easiest and least expensive forms of exercise. All you need is a good pair of walking shoes, comfortable clothing, and the open road. How do you start? As with any other exercise programme, if you've been sedentary up until now, take it slow and easy. Take care to maintain good posture as this will help you breathe more easily and also avoid back pain. Work a warm up, a cool down, and stretches into your routine. Start your walk at a slow warm up pace, then stop and do a few warm up stretches. Don't start stretching before you're fully warmed up. Think of your body as a car engine and your blood as oil. You need to lubricate your joints before you start. Continue your walk for as long as it takes, then end with the slower, cool down pace and stretch well. Stretching will make you feel good and help prevent injury.

A rule of thumb is that a reasonably active person, walking at two miles per hour, will use up around 100 calories per mile walked. Surprisingly, you'd expend a little more energy walking at slower speeds because the lack of momentum means that each step uses more energy. At higher walking speeds you use more muscle groups, which will also increase the calories burnt per step. Predictably perhaps, walking uphill does use more calories than walking on the flat at the same speed. However, walking downhill also uses more calories because you use energy to resist your downward momentum.

If you use a pedometer, or step counter, it can measure how much everyday walking you do, and how active you are in your day to day life. This information can be used to measure calories burned, which will help you plan your weight loss.

After an initial weight loss, which is usually just water, your regular walking will start to build the long, lean muscle that helps increase your basal metabolic rate. This works even when you're resting and is key to keeping weight off in the long term. The development of this muscle may not show initially as a weight loss - but the fat will be melting away and your shape will change. You are better off checking your appearance in the mirror rather than bothering with the scales.

You need to keep your body properly fuelled for a day's walking. If you're walking to lose weight, take the energy your body needs from high-carb, low-fat foods. These are good packed lunch choices: fresh or dried fruit, chicken or tuna sandwiches, malt loaf, scones and jaffa cakes. Trail mix is even easier; make your own with cereal, nuts and dried fruit. While walking, make sure you rehydrate, and do it before you get thirsty. It's better to top up before you think you need to.

How much should you walk, and how quickly, to maximize weight loss and improve your fitness? According to the Ramblers' Association a simple way to work out how fast you should walk is to try to make sure you're able to talk normally while walking. If you're the kind that likes to get into the facts and formulae, there are heart rate tables out there that tell you at what percentage of your maximum heart rate you should train for varying kinds of fitness. Look up the karvonen formula, work out your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate, and plug those figures into the sum.

To sum up, if you have a weight problem and you hate the gym and sports in general, walking is a great option. It's cheap, doesn't take much in the way of kit, requires only that you have somewhere to go and come back from, and in the right season and the right place can be very enjoyable. Nobody has to know you're working out; far as they're concerned, you're just out for a stroll.
