You don’t need a fancy gym membership, a lot of expensive equipment or anything else to lose weight. You don’t need pills or to be on a special diet, either. Likewise, you might be surprised to learn that you can lose a great deal of weight in a safe and natural way just by taking a long walk every day.
Many overweight people, especially those who have arthritis or other problems, have already discovered the benefits of walking. It is the safest form of exercise and most people can at least take a walk around the block every day.
The idea is to have a brisk walk at a pace that gets your heart rate going. The fact is that you won’t lose much weight by just ambling or strolling along. You need to get sweaty for this, or you will not be optimizing how much you can lose. It is possible to lose weight by walking slow, but it will take ages. You need to walk at a rapid pace and keep it up for at last an hour. The faster your heart pumps, the more weight you will lose.
The secret is — the more you walk, the more lean muscle you will develop. Lean muscle burns more calories as you use it. This means that you burn more calories because you have more muscular mass in general.
So, how much weight can you lose by walking. Keep this in mind. A pound of fat equals 3500 calories. In order to lose that one pound a week, you will need to burn off 3,500 calories. When it comes to losing weight, it is the amount of distance that you cover that matters. Walking for a long time at a slow pace will not do much for your weight loss efforts.
You can expect to lose at least one pound a week by walking at a moderate pace for at least a half an hour to an hour a week. Not only is walking the best thing for shedding pounds, but it can also help prevent other disorders such as heart disease, colon cancer, diabetes, stroke and breast cancer. Another bonus is that walking can help keep your immune system in good working order.
If you are not used to exercising, you might want to take it easy when you first start. Take care not to overdo it if you are in recovery from an illness or operation. In fact, it is a perfect idea to get checked out by a doctor before you begin any kind of exercise program – including a regimen to walk your weight off.
But how do you keep the weight off?
Anybody can lose weight on a diet, especially if combined with a good exercise program, and there is no denying that the good feeling you get as the excess pounds melt away, and you arrive at your target weight is hard to beat. It really is an achievement, and you deserve to feel proud of yourself for your commitment and dedication.
And you deserve to go on enjoying being the right weight and shape for you.
Why is it so hard to keep weight off?
That’s the tricky bit, isn’t it? You’ve probably been here before. Reached the target, lots of satisfaction, feeling good in yourself and in your clothes, enjoying the compliments of others, and then somehow, you don’t mean to, but it happens, the weight just starts to re-materialize.
You don’t panic at first, thinking it will be easy to get rid of that little extra. But that little extra just keeps growing. It’s very disheartening.
It’s enough to put you off diets for good. Furthermore, it just doesn’t seem possible to lose weight and keep it off – for good. Why isn’t there a switch in your head you can flick that will keep you eating (and enjoying) only what’s good and right for your ideal healthy weight?
The secret switch which will really help you keep weight off
Diet plans don’t tell you this, but there is. In your own brain, you have a mechanism for creating strong patterns of behaviour – habits.
Mostly, this mechanism operates unconsciously – you are not really aware exactly how the things you do all the time without thinking became habits. But you can learn to use this mechanism deliberately and consciously to develop a habit that you want – like healthy eating. Here’s how.
Keep Weight Off is an audio hypnosis session designed expressly for the successful dieter – the person who has reached their weight loss target and now wants to ensure that they can maintain the right weight for them.
Using the power of hypnosis to reach right into your unconscious mind, where habits are formed, this powerful session will give you the two keys to successful weight maintenance and make sure you never lose them.
While you enjoy the profound relaxation and invigoration that come with deep trance, you will effortlessly absorb powerful life-enhancing suggestions that will become a deeply embedded part of you. As you listen regularly, you will find that you just naturally:
- feel an irresistible drive to take superb care of yourself
- focus on feeling alive and vital in every way
- make healthier choices about food and exercise
- feel really proud of your body and yourself
