Power-Walking: Get Fit, Burn Fat
Fitness and Fat-Burning Combined
Power walking workouts are a reasonable way to boost fitness and burn stored body fat. Power walking increases the number of calories burned, and - if combined with a calorie-controlled eating plan - will cause the body to burn fat-tissue - including abdominal fat. In addition, power walking helps to develop the leg muscles, so you get fit and get into shape.
Power-Walking Improves Fat Percent
About 45 minutes of power walking burns about 527 calories. In one year, this daily exercise routine burns a total of 192,355 calories per year - about 55 pounds of stored body fat. This fat-burning improves the body's fat-percent - the muscle-to-fat
ratio.
