Taking a walk is a great habit. As the saying goes, "Walk a hundred steps after a meal and you'll live to ninety-nine." Walking not only helps with digestion but can also help you lose weight, especially in your legs.
The correct way to walk for fitness is to keep your chest up and head high, taking large strides, walking approximately 60-80 meters per minute. Your upper limbs should swing in rhythm with your steps, and you should walk in a straight line, avoiding veering left or right. Walk for half an hour to an hour daily, adjusting the intensity according to your physical condition; generally, a light sweat is ideal. You should see noticeable results after just three weeks of consistent practice. If you're already planning to start brisk walking, try different variations, prioritizing leg slimming as your primary goal.
1. Ordinary walking method
Walk at a slow to moderate pace for 30-60 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day. It is suitable to relax in scenic places.
2. Brisk walking method
Walk 5-7 kilometers per hour for 30-60 minutes each time. Keep your heart rate below 120 beats per minute while walking to boost your energy.
3. Quantitative walking method
This includes walking on flat ground and slopes. For example, walking 100 meters on a 3-degree slope, gradually increasing to 15 minutes on a 5-degree slope, and then walking 15 minutes on flat ground.
