Walking For Weight Loss - Walking Movements That Maximize Fat Burning

It's amazing how much walking or "walking movements" can add to your weight loss even when it's fit seamlessly right into your schedule.
Squeezing in just a little extra walking. A little here... A little there... It adds up in the course of the day. And it adds up to burn a good amount of calories.
I've used derivatives from Yoga to use what we now call "walking movements" (to burn "fat storages") which essentially are the body, muscle and joint movements which take place while we walk.
Depending on a students specific "body type", I suggest specific walking approaches and techniques that maximize their weight loss results.
-- There is no exhaustion involved.
-- It's strain free and stress free. It's actually quite relaxing and refreshing.
-- It's a NATURAL, self-sustained way all of mankind has used since existence to burn calories, lose weight and stay healthy.
We walk throughout the day anyways. Why not be aware and squeeze in a little more wherever possible?
Caroline, my student weighed 179 pounds (about 81 kilos). Her mind-body type and specific requirements were averse to physical exhaustion. She had joint pain and muscle cramps and she was most certainly not going to jog on a treadmill.
She had spent so many years with little to no physical activity that her body also needed to get attuned to physical activity.
The specific weight loss techniques I had her follow while working with her allowed her to drop 38 pounds (about 17 kgs) in a little less than 5 months time. Among the other SPECIFIC techniques that she followed that fitted into her schedule, the walking techniques she used benefited her immensely.
It helped her start burning her stored fat and also helped her build more muscle replacing her fat cells and tissues, which in turn speeded up her metabolism.
The mathematics of Caroline burning her fat and losing weight is that by just squeezing in a little more "walking movements" she was able to burn about 600 calories more per day.
And approximately 1 pound of fat can be reduced by burning an extra 3500 calories. So you do the calculation...
Instead of setting yourself a fixed regimen or routine of walking "2 times a day" or for 45 minutes or 1 hour, start first by grabbing the little opportunities you get in your day to do a little EXTRA walking.
Can you take the stairs (even if only for a couple floors) before you catch the elevator? When you go out grocery shopping or even to the mall, can you consciously park towards the farther end of the parking lot instead of finding the closest spot to the entrance?
Walk around your home or in your yard, especially after you eat. Do NOT sit on the couch or in front of the TV, especially right after feeding your stomach. Do a few "walking movements" while you're washing the dishes.
I can assure you that if you simply use more AWARENESS here and get CONSCIOUS of the HUGE BENEFITS "walking movements" have on your weight, you WILL find ways to squeeze a little more in, added to what you do normally anyways.
A short evening walk with your spouse or significant other is a great way to spend some quality quiet time with each other. It helps lower your day's stress levels. There's emotional connecting and bonding and it's very relaxing.
The next time you're out walking even if it's by yourself for a moment of calm. Get aware, take deep breaths, relax, feel your body movement and EXPERIENCE how you feel both on the outside and within your body.
What happens when you walk slow or fast or run?
You burn more calories per mile at very low speeds because you are basically stopping and starting with each step and your momentum isn't helping to carry you along.
Meanwhile, at higher walking speeds you are using more muscle groups with arm motion. Those extra muscles burn up extra calories with each step.
At times when I find myself wanting for time on a busy day, I park my car a distance away so that I walk to and fro to the hospital or when my wife and I go to a movie, we park intentionally a few hundred feet away. These few minutes of extra spaced out walking in a day also is very good.
When you walk it also raises your Metabolism and you've "tricked your body" into dipping into your fat stores for energy. You are also building muscle and raising your basal metabolic rate so you are burning more calories all day long.
In the Slim Jiva weight loss system by Dr Ashok Patil we actually use some very specific walking techniques and methods depending upon your specific body type so YOUR results are maximized.
Some of my patients and weight loss students use very innovative and unique ways of squeezing in a little more "activity" and what we call "walking movements" seamlessly into their life. And they've gotten amazing and sustained weight loss results. Follow how we do it here. Get involved, empower yourself and experience the health benefits that will last you a life time.
