       Generally speaking, if you want to achieve a certain weight loss effect by walking, the walking speed must be medium to fast (a speed of more than 1,000 steps in 10 minutes), and the duration must be more than 45 minutes each time to achieve the weight loss effect.

      Walking method to lose weight:

      1. Lose weight quickly two hours after dinner

      First of all, speed is very important. You can choose to walk 4 kilometers at a speed of 1.5 kilometers in 12 minutes, then walk at a normal speed for 10 minutes to recover, then walk 4 kilometers at this speed, and then walk at a normal speed for 10 minutes, and so on. You can also maintain a brisk walking posture for 30 to 45 minutes, or walk briskly with long strides. Keep the speed around 120 to 140 steps per minute.

      2. Walking can be done anytime and anywhere

      Walking can be done anytime and anywhere, but the effect of walking is not the same at any time. For people who want to lose weight, the best time is two hours after dinner. Because the fat gain is at its maximum at this time, it is easier to lose fat by walking at this time.

      3. Keep the total amount of time unchanged

      If time is limited, you can also spread out 30 minutes to 1 hour of concentrated walking into various scattered time periods, but keep the total time unchanged.

      4. Distance traveled each time

      The optimal walking distance each time is about 5 to 10 kilometers. You can also gradually reach this level according to your own situation. The faster the speed, the better the effect, but you should do it within your ability, and you can gradually increase the requirements and speed according to your physical condition. Pay attention to the increase in volume and don't go crazy. The key to persistence is to take it step by step according to your own situation.

      5. Keep walking every day

      If you insist on walking like this for 30 minutes to 1 hour every day, you will see the results after 2 to 3 months. Moreover, according to research from Harvard University in the United States, if you walk like this for 30 minutes every day, you can achieve the miraculous effects of losing weight and extending your life.

      You need to pay attention to your walking posture when walking briskly on flat ground and going up stairs.

      Walking posture on flat ground

      1. When walking, the heels touch the ground first to avoid letting the center of gravity fall on the calves and prevent calf edema caused by walking.

      2. When stepping, touch the ground with your heel first, shift your weight to the ball of your forefoot, and then lift the other foot. This will make it less likely to get edema.

      Stair climbing posture

      Don’t miss the time to go up the stairs, because the correct posture when going up the stairs is also very helpful for losing weight.

      1. If the height of the stairs is not too high and conditions permit, you can step up two steps at a time, which can tighten the muscles between the buttocks and legs.

      2. When stepping up the stairs, touch the ground with your heels first to prevent your center of gravity from falling on your calves, otherwise you will form carrot legs. Many girls usually have the habit of backpacking. If they want to carry a backpack on the side, they should keep their feet as far apart as possible and straighten their back legs. You should develop the habit of tightening your lower abdomen when walking. Tightening the lower abdomen has the effect of lifting the buttocks. It can avoid belly bulging and buttocks sagging. In addition, if you usually walk in high heels, you should tiptoe more often, otherwise you will develop carrot legs. In addition, brisk walking to lose weight requires at least half an hour of continuous walking to take effect.
