Evening walking is one of the appropriate exercises to support weight loss efforts. After dinner, blood sugar levels increase. Walking after dinner improves digestion, reduces bloating and avoids fat storage.
Cortisol - the stress hormone of the body, plays an important role in accumulating belly fat. High cortisol levels signal the body to store fat around the middle, especially when faced with chronic stress.
Walking reduces cortisol and activates endorphins, improves mood and reduces fat more effectively. Walking in the evening helps control cravings and prevent snacks late at night.
Sleep quality also affects weight loss. Meanwhile, walking in the evening promotes better rest by regulating circadian rhythms. Poor sleep leads to increased ghrelin (hormone that causes hunger) and reduced leptin (hormone that signals fullness), making weight control more difficult. By combining your walking in the evening, you not only burn calories but also help your body balance hormones better.
If you want to burn belly fat effectively, the duration and intensity of evening walking are important. You should walk fast for 30 - 60 minutes. The target of the number of steps is 7,000 - 10,000 steps per day. The exact time depends on your fitness level.
The beginner can start with 30 minutes, while those who want to lose fat faster can last 45 - 60 minutes to achieve a more significant calorie deficit.
