I recently wrote about Interval Walking as a way to lose weight. http://notjustforboomers.blogspot.com/2013/07/interval-walking-to-lose-weight.html My wife and I started the program just about two weeks ago. Since we started the program, we each have already lost about two pounds. Now, that may not sound like a lot, but a pound a week without following any special diet seems pretty good to me.
The program we have been following is to do the interval walking one day, followed by a day in which we try to walk for at least 45 minutes. Depending on where we are walking (sometimes we walk on the high school track and others, on a "rails to trail"), we usually log about one and half to two miles, sometimes more.
We are obviously going to continue to follow this program and we will keep you posted. In addition, in a future post, I will explore some of the science behind the benefits of interval walking. For now, though, I think it is the best and easiest way to lose weight without dieting.
The obesity epidemic can't be successfully fought through debates about the ideal diet, but by helping patients choose one and stick to it. lose weight
