Burn More Calories Walking

Since we're officially into spring now and the weather is becoming a lot nicer, this is a great opportunityBurnmorecalorieswalking  to get outside. I also wanted to give you some helpful tips to burn more calories while walking and breathing in some fresh air.

Here are 5 ways to lose more weight while walking:

1. Walk with Intensity
Remember to swing your arms and push forward using your glutes

2. Head for the Hills
Make sure to include some uphill battles in your walking route

3. Walk on Dirt, Gravel, or Grass Paths
It takes more work for your body to navigate uneven surfaces

4. Wear a Weighted Vest or Backpack
A little added weight can go a long way in terms of burning more calories.

5. Use Walking Poles
Walking Poles will help you burn more calories and up the intensity of your walk

These 5 tips should help you lose more weight while going for your daily walks. Enjoy the nice weather and keep on moving!

I am 65 and live in Sun City, AZ. We have a walking Pool at our Rec Center. (Looks like a maze and the water flows gently against the direction you walk.) I would like to see stats on energy used, etc.
