How To Lose Weight Walking

 Talk the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator whenever you can. Every step counts!

Add 5-minute walking breaks to your workday and walk on your lunch break.

Bring along some headphones for podcasts or motivating music; however, always be aware of your surroundings and do not keep the volume at a level that will impair your hearing nearby cars.

Put it on your calendar and set reminders- a phone alarm or smartphone apps can send alerts to remind you throughout the day to take breaks.

Celebrate achievements- take time to recognize your progress along the way, whether it's through reaching step counts, progress in losing weight, or hitting milestones.

Walking Safety

There are a few things to keep in mind for your personal safety while walking:

Make sure you're dressed for the weather

Protect your skin with sunscreen when walking outside

Listen to your body. If you have an injury be sure to rest. Get an evaluation by a healthcare provider if needed before resuming your walking program.

Always be aware of your surroundings. Having distractions like headphones and looking at your cell phone, or walking at certain times of day with low light levels may not be advisable.

Always use sidewalks when available

Wear reflective clothing when walking near roads during lower visibility

Summary

Walking is a great form of exercise that can not only help you lose weight but has benefits on overall fitness, heart health, sleep, and mood, among other things. Everyone should aim to get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week, and the more the better. There are many ways to incorporate walking into your day, and even short bouts of walking are beneficial.
