Walking: to Boost Metabolism
Exercise to Raise Metabolic Rate
One way to boost
the body's metabolism (the rate at which it expends energy at rest), is to perform a regular fitness workout - such as walking (4 mph).
Walking: Faster Metabolic Rate
The benefits of a faster metabolism include faster weight reduction and fat loss. It also helps maintain a normal weight level in middle age. In addition, a regular walking workout helps maintain normal blood glucose levels, as well as normal cholesterol and blood pressure.
Walking: Calorie-Burning
About 45 minutes of walking burns about 67 calories. In one year, this physical fitness workout uses up a total of 110,230 calories - about 31 pounds of body weight.
Walking and Diet
As well as taking regular walking exercise, try to follow a healthy, balanced diet. All weight loss trials show that a nutritious calorie-controlled eating plan is essential for long term weight control.
