Committing to Win The Weight Loss Battle

Winning The Weight Loss Battle

Now that you are committed to winning the weight loss battle and have started walking and increasing the length and duration of your walks, it is a good idea to incorporate safety into your walks.  This may be in the form of some good walking shoes and learning some proper stretching techniques. 

I don’t think taking a leisurely walk around the block for 10 minutes requires any stretching; however, if you are not used to walking continuously for 20 to 30 minutes at a time you may want to stretch and do some warm up exercise.

By the way leisurely walks for 15 to 30 minutes at a time continuously, is a great way to stimulate your heart and your lungs towards being healthy and winning the weight loss battle. As you get stronger you can increase the pace of your walk.

If you’re not able to do some stretching exercises, the following may help you avoid pain and cramps.  Massaging the bottom of your feet before and after each walk is a good way to keep the blood flowing and may prevent cramping.

Another good technique to stimulate blood flow is to palm your lower body, before and after walking.  You can do this from a sitting or standing position.  Lightly pat down your whole lower body for 3 to 5 minutes using the palm of your hands.

You can start with your hip or your butt and work your way down to your ankles and work your way back up.  You can do one leg at a time or both at the same time.  Go ahead and pat down the inside, outside, front and back of each leg.

Let’s say you were going to walk 400 yards, if you have markers, you would walk 50 yards leisurely, then the next 50 yards briskly and so on, till you finish the 400 yards walk.  When you’ve walked 400 yards 3 to 4 times for the week, extend the distance to 500 then 600 then 700 yards etc.

Do spacing 3 to 4 times a week and increase the distance of your walk each week until you’re walking continuously for 45 minutes to an hour.  Once you’re walking 30 to 35 minutes continuously you may want to change you spacing from distance to minutes.

Here you may walk leisurely for 3 minutes and then briskly for 9 to 10 minutes.  Switch it around and do what’s comfortable for you.

We don’t want you to be in pain at the end of your walks and having you quit.  Consistent, continuous walking 3 to 4 days a week will increase your health and ultimately you will see the weight falling off.

Please, whatever you do don’t starve yourself and don’t go on cottage cheese diets and any other unhealthy diet plan.  Do increase your water intake and even drink a glass of water 5 to 10 minutes before eating. 

Also increase your fiber intake.  A heaping teaspoon full of psyllium husk in a glass of water or juice  or lemonade 2 times a day will do wonders for you to help you in winning your weight loss battle.

The bottom line here is to concentrate on safely keeping up with your walks.  You may want to get you some good walking shoes and maybe even subscribe to a walking magazine online or a walking club.
