Any exercise program should include cardiovascular exercise, which strengthens the heart and burns calories. And walking is something you can do anywhere, anytime, with no equipment other than a good pair of shoes.
It's not just for beginners, either: Even the very fit can get a good workout from walking.
\"Doing a brisk walk can burn up to 500 calories per hour,\" says Robert Gotlin, DO, director of orthopaedic(整形外科) and sports rehabilitation(康复) at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York. Since it takes 3,500 calories to lose a pound, you could expect to lose a pound for every seven hours you walk, if you did nothing else.
Don't go from the sofa to walking an hour day, though. Richard Cotton, a spokesman for the American Council on Exercise, says beginners should start by walking five to -10 minutes at a time, gradually moving up to at least 30 minutes per session.
\"Don't add more than five minutes at a time,\" he says. Another tip: It's better to lengthen your walks before boosting(增加) your speed or incline(坡度). |
