Walking Workouts to Burn Fat and Boost Energy

 

  

 

4. Walking Workout: Belly-Busting Walk                                                                                       Time: 10+ minutes

High-intensity workouts like the ones in this section can shrink 5 times more belly fat than moderate-intensity workouts. To zero in on shaping your abs, use these body toning tips during any walk: 

Imagine that your legs extend up above your navel. As one leg swings forward and back, that hip should follow. This slight hip swivel causes your lower torso to rotate, activating more ab muscles to tone your midsection faster.

   

5. Walking Workout: Super Fat Blast                                                                                                    Time: 10 minutes (Time-saver!)

Crank up the intensity with metabolism-revving bursts of high-impact activities. You’ll burn nearly 70% more calories than if you walked at a steady pace.

 

6. Walking Workout: Happiness Walk                                                                             Time: 10+ minutes

Revitalize your mind and body with an easy walk that includes these stress-busting techniques from Carolyn Scott Kortge, author of Healing Walks for Hard Times. The longer you walk, the more benefits you’ll see. Says Prevention reader Lisa Di Marzio of Ware, MA: “When I tried it after a tense meeting, I felt calm almost immediately instead of reliving the event that made me stressed.”

 

Step 1: Focus on your feet. Feel the firm ground beneath you as each foot rolls from heel to toe. Try to hold awareness of your steps for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 2:Turn your attention to breathing. Lift your torso to stand upright and increase lung space. As you inhale, imagine you are drawing in renewed energy. Exhale tiredness and pain. Let fresh life flow into your lungs and your cell.

Step 3 Mentally talk to yourself. Thinking Fresh air in, stale air out as you breathe can help you maintain focus.

 

(Weight Loss Tip Of The Day) 

Eat Post Workout: The meal after the workout, is the only meal where you should have complex   carbohydrates: brown rice, wholemeal pasta, or potatoes, and simple carbohydrates: banana, apple, orange, or plum etc. These foods will replenish your energy stores.
