Does anyone have tips to lose weight faster with walking?

Question

I am trying to get more active. I want to lose weight with walking or jogging, but when I jog it hurts my knees. Any tips?

Answer 1

Weights. Doing multiple reps with light weights will burn more fat calories than walking or jogging. Especially since your knee hurts. Walking is better exercise than running if you are a woman. Walking for 30 minutes everyday will show you some results but walking combined with weight training will have you slim in no time at all.

Answer 2

you need to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. The 45 minute thing is not true, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home. The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better! Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results. Good luck and stick at it.

Answer 3

Walking so far is the best exercise. If your knees are aching thats normal for a few days. It will not hurt anymore after a week of walking everyday. If you want faster losing weight, you can control your diet by reducing your carbohydrates and sweets intake. Drink much citrus juices or water 30 minutes before eating every meal to be sure your food intake would be less.

Answer 4

I would stick with walking, but push yourself to go faster/further. Choose a regular route and wear a stop watch. Try and beat your slowest time. You ahould also add strength trianing to your regimen to build lean muscle mass.


PS You might also want to try interval training by doing a walk/run routine. Walk 5 minutes and run 3 minutes. Remember to warm up and cool down.

Answer 5

IF U TRY WALKING FOR HALF AN HOUR FOR FOUR DAYS A WEEK AND WATCH YOUR CARBS FOR UP TO 7 A DAY OR LESS U WILL LOSE WEIGHT. ALSO IF A WATCH YOUR CALORIES TO 2500 A DAY, HAVE YOUR 3 SERVINGS OF DAIRY A DAY, 8 CUPS OF WATER A DAY, EAT YOUR 5 TO 6 SERVINGS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES A DAY, AND NOT HAVE SECOND SERVING WHEN U EAT THAT WILL ALSO HELP U A LOT.

Answer 6

If it is hurting your knees them don't job...atleast untill you can do proper form because thats what it sounds like you are doing.

Here's a fact though.

Walking a mile will burn just as many calories as jogging or running a mile.

If you feel more comfortable walking, then walk

Answer 7

Saw the incline treadmill suggestion. This was terrible on my knees. I have to walk on a flat surface. Just carry light weigh hand weights with you and swing your arms when you walk.
Good luck with your program.

Answer 8

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
