Brisk walking for Weight loss 3
As we learnt in our first 2 posts on brisk walking for weight loss, brisk walking helps tremendously with losing weight? In fact, research has shown that regular, brisk walking may be a more effective method for weight loss than going to the gym.
A study by the London School of Economics found that those who engaged in “regular, brisk walking” for longer than half an hour had lower Body Mass Indexes (BMI) and smaller waists than those who did other exercise such as going the gym or playing football or rugby. This was especially the case for women, people over 50 and those on low incomes.
In our final post on this topic, we’re cover 5 more additional benefits of walking briskly:
- Walking helps reduce stress & anxiety
- Walking helps to boost your immune system
- Walking slows the aging process
- Walking helps pevent certain cancers
- Walking regularly can help prevent osteoporosis
So, next time you’re thinking about going to the gym, but just don’t have the time to fit it in, why not go for a brisk walk instead.
You’ll be so glad you did!
To your optimum health, well being & ideal weight!
