Walking And Weight Loss
I have been on a number of diet and exercise programs over the years and I have achieved the most success through a common everyday activity. Walking and weight loss go hand-in-hand. It may seem too simple to be true, but I have more success losing weight and keeping weight off through a walking program than I do on a structured exercise program. I have lost more through a walking program than through dieting as well.
I discovered the walking and weight loss connection while I was a student in college. Most freshman college students gain between twenty and thirty pounds in their first year at school. For the first time in many students’ lives, they have to make their own decisions about eating and exercise. Many students’ walking program consists of walking from the dormitory to the classroom and back.
I was one of the students who had no real walking program. I didn’t make the connection between walking and weight loss right away. I wound up gaining twenty-five pounds in the first semester of college, but I didn’t realize that I needed to connect walking and weight loss until I tried dieting.
Before I started a walking program in school, the idea of walking and weight loss being so closely tied together did not occur to me. Instead, I tried changing my diet. I ate salads at nearly every meal. I had no breakfast and I did not really have a whole meal until the evening. I probably only took in about nine hundred calories each day, but I did not see very good results. I had to think back to a time when I was fit to make the walking and weight loss connection.
I was a heavy student in high school and I dieted a lot. One diet was very successful for me during the end of my high school career. I was involved in an after school program that I attended every day. Since I could not ride the bus home from school, I simply walked the two mile commute home five days a week. I did not consider this an actual walking program, but it really was. The only differences between my lifestyle in high school and in college were that I ate more and I walked almost every day.
Once I made the walking and weight loss connection, the rest was easy. I just started a simple walking program that consisted of taking a relaxing walk at least three times each week. I did not really worry about dieting, but I made sure to eat breakfast and to eat small meals throughout the day. I also avoided eating after eight o’clock in the evening. Within a few weeks, I found myself proving the walking and weight loss connection. I lost the twenty five pounds.
