Walking style: Walking in the fresh morning air, slight coolness and calm environment not only helps in waking up the body, but can also be a great step towards weight loss. But not every walk is the same. If you want to lose weight, you will have to make the way you walk a little smarter. Here we will talk about 7 such methods of walking in the morning which will not only help you in losing weight but will also fill you with energy for the whole day.

brisk walking

Walking at a fast pace burns more calories than walking at a normal pace. When you walk briskly for even 30 minutes a day, your heart rate increases and your body goes into fat burning mode. In this walk, you have to keep in mind that your breathing should be a little fast, but there should be no problem in talking.

Incline Walking

If you walk in a park or somewhere where there is climbing, then this is a bonus for you. In inclined walking, the body has to work harder, which quickly affects the thighs, hips and stomach. If there is no hilly area nearby then you can set an incline on the treadmill.

interval walking

In this walking style, you walk fast for a few minutes and then at a normal pace for a few minutes. Keep repeating this process. This speeds up metabolism and increases fat burning. Example: Walk 2 minutes fast, then 1 minute easy, and repeat for 20–30 minutes.

power walking

In power walking, not only is the pace faster, but your hands are also moving with full enthusiasm. This walking becomes a kind of cardio exercise which not only reduces weight but also increases stamina. Keep in mind that the body remains straight and the movement of the hands is synchronized with the entire body.

meditative walking

Although it is not done directly for weight loss, but when you take deep breaths while walking, then stress is reduced. Stress also increases weight, hence mental peace can also be helpful in weight loss. With this, you can enjoy walking for a long time.

reverse walking

Reverse walk, i.e. walking in the opposite direction, is a unique technique which is not only fun, but is also very beneficial for health. Walking backwards improves body balance, increases muscle strength and also improves cardiorespiratory fitness. It is especially useful for people who want to add flexibility and precision to their running patterns.

Nordic Walking

Nordic walking is a walking technique that involves walking with special sticks — called poles — in your hands. These poles are not just for support, but also help in activating the entire body while walking. Compared to normal walking, it is considered a full body workout, because in this the muscles of arms, legs, shoulders and back work together. It is especially beneficial for those who want to burn more calories in less time and increase body strength.
