Here are some tips about weight loss and how you can achieve your goal by walking.
To lose weight and maintain weight loss, aim for an active lifestyle of at least 12,000 steps a day. This is an ultimate goal and should be achieved by increasing your baseline steps by no more than 500 steps a week (see the 10,000 steps program guide for more information).
To improve your chances of life-long weight maintenance, you should combine an active lifestyle with a healthy, well balanced diet.
To maintain weight over your lifetime, it is important to build and keep muscle mass. Muscle mass keeps your metabolism up, meaning you burn more calories (even at rest) than you would without that muscle. When you lose weight without being active, you lose muscle mass and lower your metabolism. Leading an active lifestyle will help you maintain a healthy weight for a lifetime.
Walking as your primary form of exercise is an excellent choice. However, as with any form of activity, your body will become accustomed to the activity and your fitness level will plateau.
