Walking THE BEST WAY TO fitness
In an hour you could, depending on your weight, burn around…
250 calories if you stepped it up to a moderate three miles per hour
170 calories walking at a leisurely two miles per hour pace
300 calories when you hit a brisk four miles per hour
HOW IT HELPS YOUR BODY
It’s simply one of the best ways to keep you healthy – it dips your blood pressure, strengthens your bones, recovers your waistline, raises your spirits and, if you start out right, it can spark a love affair with the simplest fitness regime on the planet.
It’s a great energy-booster
Studies have shown that if you’re tired, working out at a rate of about six out of 10 for exertion is the sweet spot that makes you feel alert without sapping your energy reserves and leaving you feeling fatigued afterwards. A brisk walk measures about six out of 10 for effort.
It helps regulate your hormones
