It’s a fact of life: We tend to gain weight as we get older. But you’ll pack on fewer pounds over the years by walking 2 to 4 hours a week (that’s as little as 30–40 minutes every other day).
People in a 15-year study who did this gained less weight during the study period than folks who didn’t walk at all.
Although the results were similar for both men and women, the weight benefit was strongest for women who were also heaviest. Overall, the heaviest women in the study gained about 1 pound less per year for every additional 30-minute walk taken each week. Regardless of your gender or size, walking is a super-accessible, easy-to-maintain activity that can help you not only keep extra pounds off but also lose weight, if done regularly.
Keep track of your exercise and food intake and you'll be ready to start shedding those pounds.
See you all in a couple weeks!
