Walking Benefits. How to Walk and When?
Hey Dears,
In today's life, the range of physical activity is very less. So now many people are suffering from the problem of fatness. Most of them take a walk to avoid being over whelmed. But they are not getting results. Because they are walking, but do not know how to walk. So it is important for them to know about this.
When to walk
Can be walked at any time of the day. But morning is a good time for walking. You can also walk in the afternoon. In the busy life everyone should find time to take a walk. How much you walk your doctor will determine the extent of your body or disease.
How to walk
While walking, care should be taken not to lean forward. The body's center of gravity will move straight ahead. That is, the chest and neck of the body should be kept straight and walk forward. Walking speed will be 6 to 8 km/hr. If one has heart problems then one should walk at a low speed first, then gradually increase the speed and time according to the ability.
Generally, it is better not to walk on a full stomach. Walking can be done shortly after eating. But if you want to lose weight, you should walk on an empty stomach. But if one is taking insulin then one should not walk on an empty stomach. Measure diabetes and then walk to avoid hypo-glycemia.
While walking, care should be taken to wear appropriate and comfortable clothes according to the weather. You can walk on the treadmill at home or walk outside in the park. Running shoes should be used for walking for exercise purposes. It reduces the pressure on the knees and allows you to walk for a long time.
How much do you walk in a day?
Generally speaking, the more you walk, the better. That's true when it comes to weight loss. If you can walk 4 miles a day, that's 8,200 steps, your weight will definitely be under control. And those who have already lost it, now want to reduce it and bring it under control, they will have to walk a little more. For that, if possible, increase the amount of walking to 11,000 feet. Of course, this is not a hard and fast rule. It all depends on your ability, time and effort. Fats are said to walk 6,000 to 11,000 steps per day.
This is the account of weight control. But when it comes to keeping diseases away, the calculation is slightly different. Conventional ideas do not apply here. The more legs you walk, the more the benefits are not. Rather, in many cases, there is no distinct benefit after a certain stage. For example, to control diabetes and high blood pressure, you have to walk 8 to 9 thousand feet. Walking more than this does not add any additional benefit. That is why 10000 is called the magical number to ward off disease. If you walk this amount of feet every day, your risk of getting sick will decrease by one-third. Even if you walk more than that. But it will help you keep the weight under control.
