8 advantages of walking – Being thus concentrated on a cardio

Being thus concentrated on a cardio and/or execution training, I completely forgot a simple and extremely effective type of exercise in reducing the percentage of fat: walking.

This “exercise” does not exclude, but rather accompanies the weight training, to be accompanied at the same time by a correct diet.

1. It does not contribute to muscle overload.

Unlike HIIT training or other types of training, the walk does not overload the muscle system. If we combine several days of intense cardio training, with weight training, the body can be slightly overloaded.

It is almost impossible to overload yourself by walking. Due to the fact that the muscle does not accumulate stress, we can travel for hours without trying fatigue. The only thing we should worry about are the pains to the tibia that appear when we go on hard surfaces for a long time, but if we have an adequate shoe, we shouldn’t have problems.

2. It helps in post-training recovery.

The effects of the walk are immediately observed and make us feel better because of the fact that it improves blood circulation, which helps us to return faster after training or injuries.

There are some studies that show that the walk has some beneficial effects on the spine, improving the sending of nerve impulses.

3. It has fat and does not affect muscle mass.

Walking is a low intensity exercise, which means it burns a higher percentage of fat. It is true that 10 minutes of walking do not burn a significant amount of fat, but if we take a more careful step (preferably on a slope) for 4-8 hours a week (about 30 and 60 minutes/day) and we constantly train with the target to develop muscle mass, the results will be stronger.

4. Increase both aerobic physical form and training capacity.

Walking in an alert will not transform us into marathons, but will certainly improve our maximum volume of oxygen.

Set a speed of 6 km⁄he a high inclination (without holding the bars), it is not an exercise as easy as it seems. Its constant realization can increase by 50%the ability of the volume of oxygen of a man, which is ideal to help him complete the challenges offered by weight training.

As for the training capacity, the walk increases the ability to perform exercises at a moderate level for a long period of time.

5. And relaxing.

The walk is a great way to relax, enjoy a moment of peace, collect our thoughts and solve problems. Usually, after walking, we feel better and life seems better for this reason.

6. It is easy to reach.

The walk is an easy exercise and low impact and can be done by people with joint problems, it can also have beneficial effects on these conditions.

7. It is more suitable for those who practice weight training.

Running or jogging has its benefits (especially if you want and/or you are a marathon), but the people who work regularly with weight should avoid it. The greater the muscle mass, the greater the impact on your body. (Excluding sprints)

8. It helps to burn fat.

The theory behind this idea is that if the body is scarce in carbohydrates, it will resort to fat deposits as the main source of energy. Completely true premise and walking is the best form of exercise for this.

Disadvantages? One alone. Requires time. To benefit from all its effects, it is necessary to walk between 3 and 6 hours, 6 hours are ideal. We spend more than 6 hours, watching TV.

The best time? Every time we have the opportunity. There is no ideal time for walking, it doesn’t even have to be constant. But if we want to lose weight, the best time is the morning before breakfast. The best second moment is immediately after an intense training with the weight and/or hiit. At the end of training, much of the glycogen was exhausted, giving up the place of lipids as a source of energy.

Semen? Violeo walks with high stitches of inclination on the treadmill, or hills, depends on the situation. For better results, you should spend at least 30 minutes a day. Of course, a kilometer is much better than nothing, but the 4.5.6 kilometers lead to the combustion of fat, especially if it is done regularly.
