There are several ways to lose weight, fast walking and strength exercise, but many people will take fast walking to lose weight without too much strength exercise. The definition of brisk walking is not just fast. If we walk more than 120 steps per minute, our breathing and heartbeat will be accelerated, and we will gasp a little, but we can still talk normally. When walking briskly, you should look straight ahead, straighten your upper body, relax your shoulders and put away your lower abdomen. Arms should swing back and forth rhythmically with their own pace, legs should be as big as possible, and heels should land first. Fast walking is better than strength exercise. Why?

Reason one: brisk walking can strengthen heart and lung function. If you keep walking fast, your chances of getting diabetes or breast cancer will be greatly reduced. At the same time, brisk walking can also enhance heart and lung function, regulate blood lipids, and have excellent preventive effects on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and Alzheimer's disease. Strength training can't do this. Although strength exercise can also enhance cardiopulmonary function, it is not so obvious after all.

Reason 2: Walking fast can exercise your whole body muscles. When people walk, they need to use most parts of their bodies, and they don't say which one moves or which one doesn't, so it's very important for them to exercise their muscles more. The most remarkable thing about walking fast is that we can lose weight, which can not only exercise the muscles of our legs, but also help us consume excess fat. Compared with walking, strength exercise may not be so good. A set of training can only exercise a certain part of the body, or a certain muscle, and it can't be so comprehensive.

Reason 3: Walking fast can help us speed up our metabolism. As the saying goes, "walk a hundred steps after a meal and live to ninety-nine." This statement still has some basis. Just after eating, the body's blood will mainly concentrate in the stomach. At this time, turning around and walking quickly can effectively relieve blood, speed up metabolism and solve the problem of difficult defecation.
