Watch the calorie intake since it is a good start but walking will give you boost to keep going. You'll see a difference soon after starting your new program. When losing weight through activities like walking you need to make it a habit on a daily basis 365 days a year. Change your attitude and put walking into your daily plans the same as going to bed at night. Losing weight and walking will boost up your metabolism and change you to having a positive lifestyle. Think positive and don't expect changes over night. Your weight gain didn't happen over night and it isn't going to go away overnight. You want to lose it slowly. Don't stop your walking program. Look back at your progress as you move ahead. Make yourself a walking journal on a daily basis. Write down your plans and goals first. Do your plan on a slow basis not all at one time. You don't want to go to fast and jump into it making you sore and stiff from using muscles that you haven't used in a long time. Once you've set a plan and the goals your wanting; go for it and start walking. It is how far and fast you walk at first it is how long you walk at a steady pace. In addition, remember do it everyday no matter what the weather is like; inside our out just walk. When writing down your plans and have started walking everyday for awhile add a 4 minutes stretch time to the end of your walking time. As you start, walking for a longer time your muscles and joints will start to get stronger and they need a cool down time to keep the range in motion in your arms and legs especially. As you continue to walk longer periods of time and have been doing your stretches afterwards add a 2 minute time for warm ups. Move your ankles around and do some bending to warm up the muscles and joints in your legs. Move your arms around too letting them warm up as well. This gets your blood flowing and it will make your muscles less apt to injury yourself while walking further and further. Set your goal to keep increasing your walk time up to 60 twice a week to build up strength and weight loss. Keep walking some everyday though the more walking you do the more calories burned. Your goal for walking is to not hurt but to feel good and healthier. Plan some hiking trips to add to your walking to fitness program. Once you've built yourself up to, the two 60 walking days you need to do more yet to get rid of more calories. On your hiking trips go different places and make them fun and a challenge along the way. Find some hills to explore along your trip. Try taking making your hiking trip to last ½ day at least. Take along a group of people and have a picnic while you having fun. Make your walking program fun and enjoyable as often as you can. You have several options in walking fitness. Set up the program that works best for you so that you will stick to the plan.
