You wanna focus on the things that are gonna give you the most momentum for your weight loss journey. And i am gonna share the weight loss habit that really made a difference for me after years yoyo dieting. Can play a really big role im most people's weight loss plans, many of us are not active enough during the day, we are sitting at a desk behind a computer for many hours, and that makes it really hard to feel like doing something and being energetic, and sometimes you might just come to the end of the day and feel you wanna sit on the couch and just stuff yourself with food. So we wanna break up those habits as much as possible and learn some new, helpful habits. That will get us feeling more active and energized.
And that means that more of the other lifestyle changes that we wanna be making are going to be a lot easier, now although walking itself, doesn't burn off a ton of calories, especially if you are just going for a short period of time, it definitely does contribute to your overaall calorie burn fo the day. There is such a low barrier to entry for walking, almost anyone can do it and you don't need any special clothes or equipment, although i do recommend that you have some fairly supportive shoes as you start to increase your mileage, even just 20 t0 30 mintes a day of walking can be a really great start for your exercise plan. Many people are intimidated by the gym, and they are not really sure what to do at home, but walking is something comfortable and familiar that you just need to do a bit more of.
I recently did a article about walking for weights loss, and a lot of people commented that just increasing their walking, helped them to lose weight. For many people, i really can be the turning points that gets them the weight loss that they and its something that can be helpful long term because its a maintenance strategy really. You are not doing an hour really intense circuit training that you may or may not be able to keep up for the long term. Walking is something that should be with you all the way to the end. When we see older people in their eighties or nineties, then what ofter determines how we see them in term of their age is their ability to walk. Do they have to be a wheelchair? Do they need a walker or are they able to still walk freely? I mean that is real gift.
If you get to your nineties and are able to still walk on a regular basis. So add more walking to your routine, whether that is first thing in the morning after a meal, which actually can help your digestion or last thing at night, if that is what suits you. If you are not feeling like doing your weight training workout you dont have to skip things all together, you can walk outdoors for a little while. That is often what i do. If i just don't feel up for weight training session or something more vigorous. Sometimes it takes a lot of motivation to pack up your things and head to the gym, or even to do a workout at home, but going for a walk, doesn't take nearly as much effort to get yourself moving.
You can put on your headphones and listen to music or a podcast. It takes that time valuable in another way as well. So you are doing good things for yourself, and let's not ignore the mental health aspect of it because it really can make you better. Drinking enough fluids is great daily habit to get into. It's really important to be consistent with this as well. Primarily water, but other zero calorie beverages have a place as well. Maybe you enjoy tea or coffee when you are looking at the types of things that you are drinking, make sure that you are focused on those zero calorie liquids and be a bit more careful about other liquid source. Juices are not necessarily the best choice for weight loss.
