Walking time to lose weight for people from 18 to 40 years old.
According to Dr Amit Chhabra, Consultant Endocrinologist at Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital, Kaushambi, this age group should walk briskly for 45 to 60 minutes, five days a week.
This amount of time will help improve cardiovascular health, burn calories effectively and boost metabolism.
People in this age group can combine brisk walking with moderate walking to optimize fat burning. Additionally, achieving a goal of 10,000 steps per day can also help bring significant weight loss results.
Walking time to lose weight for people from 40 to 60 years old
Metabolism slows down in your 40s and 50s, along with a decline in health and fitness. During this period, walking at a moderate pace for 30 to 45 minutes daily is appropriate.
People aged 40 and over can walk on different terrains such as slopes or trails to increase activity.

The main goal at this age is to maintain mobility and balance, in addition to losing weight. Walking steadily for 20 to 30 minutes a day, at a comfortable pace, is considered ideal.
Elderly people can divide their walking time into two sessions to reduce fatigue while improving cardiovascular health and muscle health. Walking for short periods of time will help reduce weight and be safer.
