Burn Calories for FitnessOur body burns calories all the time
Even when we are resting we burn between 50 to 85 calories
So when we are involved in activities we burn more calories
When you walk you breathe more oxygen, which is used to produce energy This burns fat and you have a trimmer, leaner body.
How Far Do You Have To WalkIf you are driving or going by bus to work, park or get off the bus a few blocks away from your work place and walk that short distance During lunch break you can take a half hour walk outside
Using the stairs instead of the elevator is also beneficial. Few people are under the wrong impression that being active at home or office all day gets enough exercise, which is untrue.
You should walk at a comfortable pace, between 2.5 and 3.5 miles per hour, so that it does not leave you breathless. This is an aerobic exercise because you are burning up the Oxygen as fast as you are taking it in. The motions of the legs, feet and arms during the phases of walking are called gait, over-stride or under-stride will disrupt the natural walking gait. Your arms should swing naturally from the shoulders when you walk.
