Walking To Lose Weight Is A Great Fitness Start
Walking off the pounds is a safe and sensible way to get in shape. However, there are several things to keep in mind 
* The accumulation of fat takes time. Losing fat will take time, also...as well as focused effort. * Aim to lose 1-2 lbs. per week. This may seem slow, but you are training to build a new lifestyle, with better eating habits and better exercise habits. * Starting on a good diet will help you accelerate fat loss. Begin now to make better food choices. * Just because you begin a moderate exercise plan, like walking, doesn't mean you can still eat whatever you please. * Getting rid of sugar foods and processed foods will have a huge impact of the amount of fat that will be lost with your walking program. * Walk with a purpose...to get stronger and to build more endurance. * Walk outdoors if you can. Yes, you can walk on a treadmill or a StairMaster at the gym, but outdoors provides more variety in scenery changes. * Adding moderate workouts with weights, either at home, or in the gym, will help you gain lean muscle tissue to increase metabolism naturally.
