Walking to Lose Weight Tip 1 : Get a Pedometer
Your imagination is not always an accurate measure of how much walking you are doing. If you have to borrow a pedometer, do, but get one. The advantage of building activity into your day is that it is easier to keep up into the future because it already feels so good and it’s a fun part of your day. However compared to walking on a treadmill which gives you a time and distance measure, walking and being generally active can be deceptive unless it is measured. One of the easiest and most reliable statistics you can use to ensure weight loss is to use a pedometer daily. Become an active person- which means a minimum of 8,000 steps daily. Weight loss starts at about 10,000 steps but if you’re serious try to be up around 12,000 to 15,000 steps daily.
Just using a pedometer has been shown to increase distance walked by one mile and the average user’s step count by about 2,000 daily, or around 100 calories.
Use whatever tools and accessories enhance your enjoyment of walking to lose weight time.
