Walking ideal to relieve stress and get into the habit of exercising. A150 pound person walking at a brisk pace for 30 minutes burns an average of 150 calories, and if performed daily, can lose almost five kg in a year. Here are some tips in walking exercises:
1. Pump your arms, bend to about 90 degrees to burn an additional 5 to 10 percent more calories with each step
2. To avoid hitting a plateau, take a different route periodically. Add hills or up your minutes, speed or frequency
3. Using ankle weights or writst weights to boost weight loss when walking isn’t advised as this can alter normal movement and gait, increasing walking exercise injury risk
4. Added weight should be evenly distributed close to the body. Wear a weighted vest designed specifically for this purpose by simply placing small weights in each jacket pocket. Better ways to use wrist and ankle weights include exercise such as leg and arm lifts and to increase dumbbell or machine weight loads when performing certain exercises
