Maintaing Weight When Walking

Though many people walk to loose weight, some people must work on maintaining their weight when they begin to walk regularly.

There are different reasons that people may not be able to keep weight on when they exercise.
Some of them include:

聲 Illness
聲 Treatment for illness
聲 Extensive food allergies
聲 Medication
聲 High metabolism

People who are thin or underweight aren聮t necessarily healthy and fit. The low weight may even make them weak. Walking is a good exercise for these people. It doesn聮t take a lot of strength and burn fewer calories than more strenuous exercises.

To enjoy the calming affects and get the benefits of waking while maintaining weight is possible. When there is an underlying medical condition it is important to work with a health care professional before beginning a walking program.

Ways to maintain weight:

聲 Increase calorie intake by eating extra snack or adding more food to meals
聲 Limit other exercising on days there will be walking
聲 Eat more later in the day
聲 Include slow burning high calorie healthy foods
聲 Walk at a slow pace
聲 Shorten length of walk
聲 Walk on level even surfaces
聲 Keep a consistent walking schedule and routine

Wearing the Stepgym shoe may burn more calories but it will decrease the amount of exercise needed to become fit. Doing less exercise and getting more results is helpful when working on maintaining weight while beginning a walking program.

After a few weeks of a consistent waking the metabolism should slow and less calories will be burned than after the beginning of the walking program. It聮s the opposite of what overweight people do to jump-start their metabolism by changes in exercise routines and diet. Our bodies are adaptable and are designed to adapt to times of plenty and times of scarceness to survive. It is the consistency that develops a slowed metabolism. It is the slowed metabolism that will allow for weight to be maintained when increasing physical activity.

Eliminating exercise to maintain weight can cause other health problems so it is important to continue exercising to maintain fitness.
