The answer is yes, walking to lose weight is very effective. The time and place of walking to lose weight are very flexible, which can be on the treadmill in the gym or on the way to and from work every day, which is suitable for almost everyone. You should walk faster at your normal walking speed. Generally speaking, it is advisable to lose weight by walking quickly above 2000 meters. Researchers at the University of Colorado in the United States have brought good news to people who walk to lose weight: walking slowly is better for adults to lose weight than walking fast. Walking slowly for 65,438+0 miles (about "kilometers") consumes more calories than walking fast for 65,438+0 miles, and it also reduces the risk of accelerating joint damage and arthritis.
