took a short walk and climbed slopes to burn more fat
If daily walking has become too familiar, this is the time to try upgrading. Instead of just walking steadily, take intermittent, brisk walking. Intermittent fasting and slowing will help increase fat loss.
Fitness expert Yash Agarwal (India) commented: "This method, often called HIIT, helps increase the heart rate, thereby encouraging the body to burn more calories and fat, while forcing the core muscles to work hard to stay stable".
At the same time, climbing a steep slope is also a great choice. When walking on an incline, the abs, thighs and buttocks must be more active, helping the body maintain a straight position and train endurance. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, USA) has even classified climbing into the group of high-intensity physical activity thanks to its ability to increase core strength and improve cardiovascular performance.
Walking with dumbbells and leg movements: Exercise your whole body in steps
To increase the challenge, you can walk with weights. Light dumbbells or even bottles of water create resistance, forcing the body to move many muscle groups at the same time.
In addition, walking lunges both strengthen the leg muscles and strongly affect the abdominal muscles. At each step, the abdominal muscles must tighten to keep the back straight and avoid shaking. A physical study has shown that walking lunges significantly improve balance and core strength.
How to do it: step one foot forward, lower your hips until both knees are bent at 90 degrees, then push back to the old position and switch legs. After just a few minutes, you will clearly feel the whole body movement.
Walking is a simple form of exercise that is easy to do anytime, anywhere. However, instead of considering it just a move, you can turn it into a comprehensive exercise. Agarwal affirmed: "When you know how to combine brisk walking, climbing slopes, carrying weights and leg pain, you will burn more fat, shape a toned waist, and improve cardiovascular health and endurance".
