Walking and Fat LossA With obesity and diseases increasing dramatically, many fitness experts are recommending walkingfor weight loss and fitness. Some are even going as far as saying that walking is the best way to burn fatand lose weight. However, many strongly disagree and argue that walking is ineffective for burning offbody fat. The author is in the latter camp.B The primary benefits of walking are increased blood flow, improved overall cardiovascular health anda strengthened bone. There are several reasons why walking is not the best choice when it comes to fatloss. For example, it is notable that the lower the intensity of the activity an individual engages in forexercise, the smaller the number of calories burned. Therefore, you can burn more calories in 15 minutesof bicycling at a high intensity level than you can in 45 minutes of easy walking.C Another downside to walking is that it does not result in a huge increase in metabolism. This isbecause it is generally low, and can only result in only a small increased metabolism that will only last forapproximately 1-2 hours after the walk. On the other hand, metabolism increases are higher and lastlonger (4-24 hours or more) when you perform high intensity cardiovascular workouts.D Finally, low intensity exercise like walking does not deplete muscle glycogen levels. This means that,later in the day if you have consumed excess calories, they will likely be stored as body fat whereas if youdeplete the glycogen they will primarily be stored in the muscles. In short, walking is not an effective wayto burn the extra calories, so if you are aiming to lose belly fat, walking is certainly not a great choice.E So why do so many fitness and health experts recommend walking for weight loss? One reason is thatpeople do not want to hear that they have to work hard engaging in rigorous exercise for weight loss, so itis easier to imagine that engaging in some exercise is better than none. Another reason is that the bodyburns more fat for fuel when exercising at an easy pace. However, the total amount of energy used is sosmall that you end up burning off little body fat. It will also consume a lot of your time compared to anyother high intensity exercise. That is why when you choose the "fat burning" program on a treadmill or bikeit has you exercise at any easy level within a long period of time. Yes, you are burning fat, but so little thatyou would have to exercise for much longer hours each day at that easy pace to get to the desired result.F High intensity cardiovascular remains more effective in burning off the excess body fat. In fact,several studies have been done to prove this. In one study, they compared two groups; one group who didmoderate level aerobics for 45 minutes and another group who performed high intensity workouts for 15minutes. They did before and after fitness testing including body fat analysis and found that the groupwho performed moderate level aerobics has no significant fat loss. Meanwhile, the other group whoperformed the high intensity aerobics lost nine times more body fat. G If more proof is required, compare the bodies of a walker, marathon runner, and sprinter. If you are notfamiliar with what a sprinter's body looks like, it is very muscular with little body fat. On the other hand, thebody of a walker will likely have the opposite; little muscle and more fat. The sprinter does little or no lowintensity exercise and does primarily short hard bursts of work while the marathoner overtrains so muchthat they burn off both the body fat and the muscle, resulting in a thin look. So, what should you do then ifyour main objective is to shed those excess pounds of body fat? Two things: Perform some form of highintensity cardio 2-4 times per week and stabilize blood sugar to minimize the storage of new fat.H Sometimes people make excuses off some minor injuries as a reason for not engaging in highintensity exercise. However, it is important to remember that high intensity is all relative to each personand their current fitness level. For example, fast walking up and down hills may be high intensity for somepeople, whereas for others, it is a walk in the park. So don't think that you have to start running orengaging in heavy weight lifting for example. Just slowly start to increase the intensity of your cardioworkouts, and perhaps decreasing the time as you can either work hard or you can work long. Also, youcan make almost any activity or exercise at high intensity. For example, you can increase your speed, usean incline or hills, increase resistance and perform intervals, which is the most effective method.I Obviously, some activities are better suited than others but the point is that if you want to burn morefat and make your workouts as productive as possible, you need to increase the intensity. As with anychanges to your fitness program, be careful and don't overexert yourself. Just because high intensityworkouts burn more fat, it doesn't mean that you'll get even better results by doing it every day, this willquickly lead to overtraining and a loss of muscle which will only make it even harder to burn off the fat. So,if your primary goal is fat loss, don't waste your time walking. Instead, focus on progressive, high intensitycardiovascular exercises to maximize the effectiveness of your workouts.
