Walking for Weight Loss

Believe it or not walking for weight loss is dramatically effective. I myself did not consider the possibility that such an easy, low impact and effortless activity can carve my physique.

There was a walking program that I hesitantly joined to try and loss weight. I was desperate at the time and I thought it was better than doing nothing. Initially I thought it was an easy program.

The first session that we had the instructor told us to walk. We were given a path to follow and in a given amount of time we were asked to record where we were. There was just one rule. We were asked not to run or jog in any way. We could walk as fast as we can but no jogging or running motion was to be made.

The following sessions were basically the same but each time a new rule was applied. The amount of time we spent walking was increased and the distance we had to cover was increased relative to the first distance that we did on a given time.

As the program progressed I realized it was more difficult to achieve a certain distance in a given time by just walking fast than by running or jogging. This is where I realized that this program was effective.

By the end of the program I lost a significant amount of weight and a lot of inches. And as a final proof that the walking for weight loss program was really beneficial we were asked to join a marathon. No more rules were in place. We could run or jog as much as we can. You cannot believe how easy it was to finish that marathon. It just proved how my stamina and body as a whole were conditioned by the program.
