Walk off the extra pounds

Filed under: Programs — admin @ 8:43 am

Smart people who wear pedometers burn more than 100 extra calories a day according to a recent research study.  That’s means you could lose up to 12 pounds a year.  Walkers who aimed for 10,000 steps a day netted 4 times as many steps daily as those who didn’t try for a specific number. Also the walkers that kept a daily log of their miles added an extra 1.25 miles, while those who didn’t keep track added less than a half mile.  Lastly you need to be consistent.  Regular wear is key to results.

After finishing my four month Walking challenge I learned that I walk more when I’m wearing my pedometer.  It contiunally challenges me to strive for more.  I did keep a log which is key to success.  If you are not wearing a pedometer yet - give it a try.  It will help you lose weight and become a healthier person.
