Read These 3 Tips Before You Walk to Lose Weight

By Thong M. Dao

Do you feel like you're on an endless weight loss cycle? Losing weight, gaining weight back, losing again, a continuous up and down scale. Many folks share the same problem.

It is not the fault of the diet program they followed. They gained weight for two reasons: they got back to their old lifestyle habits-that is, regular junk food intake, and they started living a sedentary lifestyle and forgot all about exercising.

People think when they've reached their desired weight, it's OK for them to have cookies today or to lay on the couch this evening instead of going for a walk. Sorry to tell you, Mr. Ugly Weight is coming back.

I can understand if you don't want to go back to your rigorous gym routine, but we can definitely do some walking to lose weight, right? Follow these three walking tips to maintain weight loss by walking.

1. Consult with your doctor: Before we start walking for losing weight on a regular basis, I would recommend you visit your doctor and have a word with him.

Your doctor will be able to structure a regular walking schedule for you based on your current health situation. He might also recommend some other activities besides walking.

2. Track our steps: Simply walking is not enough; if we walk just five steps one day and fifty steps on another, then we won't know how many steps we actually need to walk to maintain our slim body. For this reason I would advise that you use a tool called pedometer.

It is actually quite affordable and will measure our walking steps everyday. As we check our daily walking stats, we will want to increase the number of steps on a regular basis because no one likes to sit on their past laurels; once we achieve a position, we would want to get higher and higher!

Just remain committed to your "losing weight by walking" schedule and see how better you feel!

3. Put the right clothes on when walking. The ideal clothing is loose and comfortable. Do you enjoy walking for weight loss in tight jean and heavy sweater if it's not cold outside? I personally don't. So select loose-fit and light weight.

Shoes, we all have shoes. However, flip-flops are not athlete shoes. Wearing comfortable well-fitting athlete shoes will allow you to enjoy walking without hurting yourself. - 17274
