Walking To Burn Fat

Walking to burn fat, yes, I know, it's exercise, a feared word by many.
Fat, another disgusting word in our vocabulary.

Burning fat is not easy and getting rid of it is very hard. With all our trying it refuses to budge.
But I think that we may have been doing it wrong.

I have been reading a book called "The Fat Stripping Diet" by Shane Bilsborough.
He recommends to do low-level intensity exercise instead of high-level to burn that fat away.

Exercises such as fast walking. Now fast walking means a good pace so that you are puffing, not a casual stroll, a strong long stride power walk.
Keep a good breathing rhythm, if you feel that you are becoming short of breath then you will be using mainly glucose and will not be burning fat.
You need to do an activity for a long period of time and puff only enough to get the heart rate pumping, this way you will use up that fat stored in your body.

A good way to know if you are walking at a good pace and burning fat rather than glucose is your legs. If after a walk they feel heavy then your using glucose instead of fat.

So you may be pleasantly surprised as I am that we do not have to exercise intensely (thank goodness). A good walk for 15mins a day or longer is all that we need to do.

So get out there. Get those legs walking to burn fat.
