Why walking helps with weight loss

You don't have to kill yourself to get on the weight loss path. You just have to be consistent.

Key point: "...the average person needs about four hours in total of moderately intense aerobic exercise per week, to lose weight."

Points to ponder:

  • "...ensure that when you are walking, you are slightly out of breath."
  • "...you will probably see fast results in the beginning, but after about six weeks or so, you will experience a plateau."
  • "...If you are not addressing your nutrition habits, then no amount of any type of exercise will produce sustainable weight-loss results."

Pretty much tracks with Nordic Walking Guy's 3 principles:

  1. Walk with purpose
  2. Be consistent
  3. Don't eat like a teenager
