Walking can certainly lose weight, and it is a very good way to lose weight. Because walking can effectively consume fat. The principle of losing weight is to reduce the supply of fat and increase the consumption of fat. But it should be emphasized that the consumption of fat is not equal to the consumption of total energy, and the large consumption of total energy is not equal to the large consumption of fat.
Strength training, HIIT, Crossfit and other high-intensity sports, although the total energy consumption is large, are mainly provided by sugar rather than fat. This is because the speed of fat conversion into energy is very slow, and it is too late to convert fat into energy during high-intensity exercise, so sugar is the main energy-supplying substance during high-intensity exercise and has no effect on reducing fat. After high-intensity strength training, people are more likely to be hungry and eat more because of the large consumption of sugar. If they eat too much, they will naturally get fat. In addition, it takes a long time to recover after high-intensity training, and there is also the risk of injury during training, which greatly interferes with everyone's daily life and consumes a lot of time.
The purpose of sports training should be to make all sports in our life perform better. When standing, sitting, lying and walking, the body is comfortable and natural, and you can do whatever you want in your daily life without feeling pain. However, due to long-term work at the desk, wrong exercise and other reasons, our muscles often appear stiffness, nodules and other problems, resulting in poor flexibility of the body, many movements can not be smoothly and naturally completed, and it is easy to get injured. Strength training is actually a relatively small problem in life, because we don't need to move and lift heavy objects often, and problems that require great strength to solve are not common. In other words, the improvement of our quality of life by strength is not obvious.
Therefore, it is better to walk easily to lose weight. Why not?
