Walking is the simplest form of physical recreation, and just half an hour of walking a day can do a lot for health and weight loss.
With one trick, you can lose 20% more calories than usual by walking.
Brisk walking is a great way to exercise and burn calories, but research conducted in America has revealed that there is an even better way to get fit, tone muscles, burn calories and lose weight.
By changing your walking speed, you can burn 20% more calories than when you walk at a steady pace. Changing the walking speed acts like pressing the gas pedal, and every change in walking rhythm requires stronger leg work.
In this study, the subjects changed their walking speed on a conveyor belt. When they tried to walk faster or slower than the speed of the conveyor belt, they burned more calories.
In addition to changing your walking speed, experts advise, you can also use other small tricks for a better effect: walk with a backpack on your back, make your route more complicated, etc., reports Nezavisne.
