How to Lose Weight by Walking Fast
Recommended Answer:
To lose one pound a weight you have to eat 500 calories less a day. You need about 1300 calories a day to maintain your weight, so you should try to eat 1050 calories a day and do around 250 calories of exercise, cause you can. C: For some reason my computer isn't letting me copy and paste but you can google to see how many calories you burn while running.Other Answers:
- Not to much more
- You should not be losing weight. You're healthy where you are right now.
- pretty much only two things you can do to lose weight and change your body 1)eat better ( not necessarily less just better)2)exercise tips-----1) DO NOT CREATE A DIET WITH THINGS THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOU BUT YOU DON'T LIKE!you will be much more likely to give up in the long term and may be better in the short term ,but eating a bit better for a year is better than eating 2x better than usual for like 2 weeks till you get bored . Another tip - Do not starve yourself to lose weight it is not a good thing to do and will make you less healthy , saying that short fasts ( 12 hours maximum including sleep e.g 8PM-8AM then have breakfast ) is said to improve weight loss , in addition working out in a fasted state will burn the fat you have in your body instead of calories from your food and therefore will improve the rate of fat loss and therefore weight loss . I recommend that you do the short fast every so often and get into the habit of working out in the morning ( also exercise releases the hormone endorphin which are sometimes described as the 'happiness hormone' , the hormone will improve the day ahead of you ) .If you struggle with keeping up with a workout regime you need to create habits . Your mind will remember the order in which you do things ( habits ) and once you create a habit it will be much easier to stick to . The average time to create a habit is 3 weeks , try to develop the habit of exercise and health and trust me you won't think it's a bad thing it will just be natural .2) Realize that duration of exercise isn't the most important thing . Intensity is. For example you could burn say 100 calories doing a 1 hour run , however you can burn 90 calories for doing 10 minutes of jumping jacks ( if you weigh near to 160lbs).Realizing that intensity is key you need to do exercise which makes you tired quickly and try to do it for as long as you can . I would recommend a skipping rope . It is extremely intense and tiring and burns a lot of calories and improves your cardiovascular endurance and therefore will improve you're overall health and increase your life span which is generally a good thing .
