If going to the gym or doing high-intensity workouts seems difficult to you, then no need to worry! A simple habit like walking can help you lose weight. 

If you find it difficult to go to the gym or do high-intensity workouts, then there is no need to worry! A simple habit of walking can help you lose weight. There is no need to spend money in expensive gyms or follow a difficult diet plan, just by making a habit of walking 10 thousand steps daily, you can burn extra calories and reduce your weight.

The advice to walk 10,000 steps is not a coincidence but is given on scientific basis. Research shows that a normal person can burn 300 to 500 calories by walking 10,000 steps. Since 3,500 calories are equivalent to approximately 1 pound (about 0.45 kg) of fat, adopting this habit continuously gradually leads to weight loss.

If you are just walking, then do this

*  Count your daily steps with the help of smartphone, fitness tracker or pedometer. If you currently walk only 3 to 5 thousand steps, then gradually increase it to 10 thousand.

*  If it seems difficult to walk 10 thousand steps continuously, then divide it into three parts. Walk 3 thousand in the morning, 3 thousand in the lunch break and 4 thousand in the evening.

*  Walk fast for 2 minutes, then walk slowly for 1 minute. Repeat this for 30-45 minutes.

*  Walking on a slope or climbing stairs burns calories faster.

*  Walk carrying a weighted vest or light dumbbells. This increases muscle strength and calories are burned faster.

*  Effect of speed on weight loss.

*  Walking at a fast speed burns more calories.

Avoid these mistakes while losing weight

* Not tracking steps : Walking without counting will not help you reach your goal.

* Walking too slowly : Fast pace is necessary for weight loss.

* Depending only on walking : Diet should also be balanced. Take a diet rich in fiber, protein and low calories.

* Walking on the same route every day : Walking on new paths and areas keeps the interest alive.
