Many people, when I post this article on how to lose weight while walking , answer the exact same thing: I always walk, so why don’t I lose weight? I have already answered this objection here: walking to lose weight is possible in two ways.

The first depends on you and your history of being overweight : in fact, walking was the first approach that seriously obese people took to lose weight. Long daily walks, followed by greater attention in the diet. Yes, sometimes two things as simple as underestimated are enough if we have a lot of weight to lose, the important thing is to do them! The second is the method by which you walk , which does not always have to be on a linear stretch of road and must have different levels of intensity.

Here I am explaining a very simple but effective way to lose weight by walking with a technique known as HIIT or High Interval Intensity Training .

It’s about doing this training program, away from home, with a pair of comfortable trainers on your feet, a stopwatch and a nice park at your disposal. Remember: the stopwatch is essential. You have to be accurate in keeping time.

SLIMMING WALKING WITH HIIT
1) Start with three minutes of walking in steady state: walking at a regular, continuous, medium-fast pace.
2) From the next minute, walk as fast as you can, almost to the point of running: you must not be able to speak and your heart must be beating very hard. Hold on for one minute, then 60 seconds.
3) Take a minute at a slow pace, in which you catch your breath
Resume from point two. Alternate point 2 with point 3 for 30 minutes straight (no more).
If you can’t do it for thirty minutes, start with 15 or 20 the first week.
If you hit 30 minutes with this method, you don’t have to go beyond it, but change the seconds of step 2 and step 3 like this: one minute of brisk walking, 45 seconds of recovery. For the most skilled, one minute of brisk walking and 30 seconds of recovery.
