Because walking makes you lose weight

walking_workout_for_weight_loss In some articles I have addressed the commonplace that cardio (or cardio fitness) leads to weight loss . I summarize by saying that there are many rumors against which hours of cardio activity, or spending hours running, running with the treadmill, using the stepper, the elliptical, the stationary bike not only do not favor weight loss, but can even sabotage it, especially if these activities are associated with a weight loss diet. Let’s be clear: doing some cardio doesn’t affect weight loss in any way, for example a total of half an hour two to three times a week., a special way to start our training. The problem with cardio is excess: Many people who train for major competitions experience muscle loss after intense activity or a period of intense cardio training. Others a weight stall. Still others even tend to get fat. You may wonder how it is possible, the answer is in the stress that the body undergoes , and which results in a clinical picture similar to hypothyroidism, but caused by training, in which instead of increasing fat mass the body tends to destroy it while from the point of view. from hormonal point of view, a lowering of thyroid activity and symptoms of insulin resistance occur.You can easily notice this drawback considering how many calories are burned with cardio training and how much weight you should lose as a result : most of the time the calories burned do not correspond to the weight loss according to the trainer’s expectations. The idea of the body burning sugars and then burning fat stores is also a simplification: our metabolism is adaptive. If the body strains too much for hours at a time and the sugar stores run out, the metabolism will drop, but we won’t burn our fat stores as easily. Find confirmation of what I say here , here and here .
To avoid this inconvenienceAccording to experts, the only way is to vary the training with strength exercises, anaerobic exercises, weight lifting , while it is contraindicated to make cardio fitness our only type of training, and it is absolutely wrong to associate a low-calorie diet with cardiofitness

There is, however, one magnificent exception. To walk. According to experts, man has been walking since the dawn of time, so walking is a one hundred percent natural activity, which we share with our ancestors and which our body does not recognize as a stress like cardio fitness.
There are many ways in which you can walk and lose weight: you don’t take a stroll, mind you, but you have to walk at a brisk pace, participating with the whole body in the action of walking. If you want to lose weight and tone your body to increase metabolism, the ideal is to walk every day, do a workout such as fit-walking or Nordic walking twice a week and short sessions of weight training or a workout. short to high intensity, like a tabata workout, two to three times a week. In total we lose weight, increase metabolism and do a total of 3-4 hours of training a week between fitwalking and weights, with walking every day to keep us active. All with an adequate, balanced and non-restrictive diet.
