Deazie Gibson, a fitness instructor in Houston, USA, said that if you don't change your walking style often, you will not only have no fun, but also have "inertia" in your body, thus losing weight.

For example, if you walk the same route at the same speed every day for 2-3 months, you will burn less and less heat.

Solution: Let's go in another way! Choosing a new route, different terrain, or walking with a load can "encourage" the body to burn more calories. After 3 months, try another way of walking.

Myth 2: Always walk at a constant speed.

Michael Morelj, a fitness instructor in Arizona, USA, said that walking at a constant speed helped to burn body fat at first, but when the body shape became "inertia", the weight loss effect was immediately affected.

Solution: "Three steps" can help you get rid of the platform period of losing weight, including slow walking, middle walking and fast walking that makes you sweat.

Morelj suggested walking at various speeds at least once a week, especially brisk walking.

A better way is to include these three speeds in a walking exercise: first walk slowly for 2 minutes, then walk at a medium speed of 1 minute, and then walk fast for 30 seconds. Repeat this action for 20-30 minutes.

In addition, walking with too big a stride will also affect the speed.

Myth 3: Do not control your diet.

If you eat more calories every day than walking, you can't lose weight.

Solution: Jessica Smith, a fitness instructor in Miami, USA, suggests recording your daily diet. You can eat more fruits or vegetables rich in fiber.

Myth 4: Sports shoes are not suitable.

Wearing inappropriate sports shoes will hinder you from walking faster and further. Jenny Schatzle, a fitness instructor, said that you may even have calf pain, plantar fasciitis, hip discomfort or low back pain, which seriously affects exercise and weight loss.
