As is known, any physical activity, including walking, can have a beneficial effect on the process of losing extra pounds.

If you decide to use walking as a means of losing weight, first of all, stock up on the right shoes. This means that the heel in the sneakers should not "slide", but there should be a small distance between the toe of the foot and the sneaker.

There are also some requirements for clothing. It must be made of natural fabrics, which allows the skin to "breathe".

Before going for a walk, it is worth drinking a glass of hot water. Don't forget to take warm water with you - while walking, it is worth taking a couple of sips from time to time.

But you shouldn't eat before leaving the house. Make sure that the interval between eating and starting to walk is at least an hour.

This is the only way you will ensure that you burn belly fat and not glycogen from food.

It is convenient to track the distance covered using a pedometer - such an application can be installed on any modern phone. You can plan a route in advance and make a playlist of your favorite tracks.

A third of the way should be done at a slow pace, another third at a faster pace, and on the final third you should slow down.
