Walking not only burns calories but also influences the cardiorespiratory system, the development of a stronger muscle structure and the strengthening of bones, which is very important for preventing osteoporosis. In addition, it helps to relax the mind.
According to a friend that is a personal trainer there are some tips that will help us to increase our walking performance:
Add speed and intensity – brisk walking increases caloric burn and increases lung capacity. Ideally, you should not be able to say more than a few words as you walk.
Take pace intervals – Changing the speed of walking burns more calories than walking at a steady pace. Speed up and slow down for better performance.
Walk with a friend – Walking with friends in participating in organized walking groups can help maintain motivation and consistency of training.
If you train for 60 minutes (or more), eat something later – a long walk can lower your glycogen levels, so opt for a snack that includes carbohydrates and protein, such as peanut butter, banana or a wholemeal toast with avocado.
Incorporate strength training – To make sure you’re not losing muscle, include a strength training routine. Stop every ten minutes of the walk to do some pushups, squats, or other strength exercises.

I find the gym very helpful and believe in walking
We walk our dogs every day, your tips are very useful!
Thank you, I am glad you liked it 🙂
I walk in the park with my kids almost every day. I enjoy walking with someone, as I think it’s good time to interact with each other. Sometimes I walk together with my neighbor while the kids cycle or have fun together. I actually prefer jogging as an exercise. Walking is a more relaxing activity for me.
It will always depend on your pace but yes walking is more relaxing than jogging.
I love walking, 10000 steps is a must to me daily.
Do you have those electronic watches that count our steps?
Whenever my feet are healthy,
I’m sitting home these days. My knee is swollen.
I am sorry about your knee, hope you get better soon.
I like walking alone at my own pace.
I understand that sometimes the other person walk in a different pace.
Now I have no opportunity to go every day, I do it on my only day off on Sunday. I do gymnastics for 30 minutes every morning for concentration.
If you do gymnastics every day it is also very good.
I walk about 1 hour every day, dear friend … I walk in moderation and not exaggerate … I think that’s enough for me
If you feel well then you are doing the right thing.
I feel excellent, my friend
My main goal is not to fall while I am walking and yes I walk every day.
Not to fall is very important.
My opinion about having a friend along needs to be reconsidered as each one walks at a particular pace and therefore walking with another whose pace is not the same may not be a good idea – just saying.
You are right at this point but if we find someone who has the same pace then it is great to have company.
That will be difficult to find, surely (lol)
