What is indoor walking? This is a type of cardio workout that has many benefits for those who want to lose weight at home quickly and healthily.

For indoor walking we mean a type of training that is based on steps to lose weight: that is, you walk on the spot, you take steps that can be almost dance, sideways, forward, backwards, or short walks using your arms while we move. So we can define indoor walking as a kind of more dynamic walk home than we would do outside. It is therefore ideal if we cannot go out for walking and want to burn extra calories at the same time.

All with some background music.

There are various types of indoor walking: workouts that involve the whole body or workouts designed only to burn a lot of calories. In about ten to fifteen minutes you can take more than a thousand steps, and in half an hour of training with indoor walking we can burn from 250 to 300 calories.

INDOOR WALKING: ADVANTAGES AND WHO IT’S SUITABLE FOR

The great thing about indoor walking is that it is a type of training suitable for all ages and all health conditions. There may be versions for beginners and versions for already trained people who instead involve short jumps or more complicated movements, even if always with simple choreographies.
The workouts range from a quarter of an hour to about three quarters of an hour, but there are also longer ones. In this way it is possible to burn over 500 calories in a single session.

Furthermore, you don’t need any tools: you will certainly need a comfortable pair of shoes and practical or light clothing, for example a tracksuit or leggings and a T-shirt. You can also do the training as a couple or with children.

It is perfect for both men and women. Also, today thanks to youtube there are hundreds of indoor walking workouts that are very effective for losing weight. Dcomedieta has tried some for you.

INDOOR WALKING: HERE’S WHERE TO START

Here I show you some of the best indoor walking workouts that you can find for free on youtube.

The coaches are almost all foreigners, but don’t worry: the workouts are made in such a way that they can be performed without knowing English, since you don’t have to have instructions, there are step previews that allow you to easily follow the movements. We will also see videos in Italian.

1. Brian Syuki.
   

   Brian is a coach who has made some really practical and intuitive indoor walking videos. They start right away and there are no misleading descriptions, there is only music. You just have to follow in his footsteps. The workouts are really effective and very varied.
   For example, look at these twenty minute beginner workouts here and here to burn around 200 calories, this one for those with joint problems , this one takes 30 minutes to burn 250 calories, this one hour to burn over 500 calories .

2. Keoni Tamayo.

   Keoni has a channel, Reps to the Rhythm , where he shows how to walk indoors in the comfort of a living room. Nice music selection, nice atmosphere (she has a lot of cats!), She talks for the first minute almost always to warn to take a few breaks by pressing stop if you want to drink a little water.
   During the training he doesn’t say anything else but uses non-verbal hand movements and expressions (he says it himself at the beginning), moves to the rhythm of the music with easy steps and, as with Brian’s videos, you just have to enjoy the music and follow him.
   Practical, fun workouts, suitable for beginners and middle-level people. How to choose which video to make? Just read the titles: the steps are indicated in the title for each workout. You can choose workouts from2000 steps like this , from 3000 steps , from 5000 steps up to 10,000 steps in just over an hour to burn a thousand calories.

3. Leslie Samson.

   Sansone is an instructor who created (she was one of the first) a channel dedicated to indoor walking known as “walk at home”. I have already talked about it in other articles, because she is famous and because many people have lost weight thanks to her method, so she will not dwell on it: without a doubt the workouts are nice, varied and suitable for practically everyone.
   Small disadvantage: she speaks a little while she trains, so for those who don’t chew English, not understanding what she says could be frustrating. For all the others, you are spoiled for choice of her with Samson: look here at her youtube page with all the free videos.
