Perfect For The Weekend: The One Hour Walk


Calories Burned While Walking 

The calories burned while walking is based on a 70 kg person and will vary depending on weight, walking speed, and workout duration.

Walking to loose weight on a 25 to 30 minutes workout is called a "drop-it-fast sprint". The quicker you walk, the farther you can go and the more pounds you'll melt off. Here's a fun routine that burns as many as 175 calories:
After warming up for 5 minutes, walk as fast as you can for 10 minutes. Note how far you went. Then turn around and walk back at a brisk pace, slowing your speed to cool down as you get closer to your starting point. Each time you do this workout, aim to walk faster and go farther than your initial turnaround point.

The One Hour Walk
The 60+ minutes mega-calorie burner can crank up your post-exercise calorie burn nearly five fold, compared with a 30-minute walk. That's on top of the nearly 350 calories you'll melt during your walk. It's also a social way to slim down: Plan your route so you meet up with a friend or two and walk with for par of your route. Meeting someone along the way may help you from getting bored.


10 MINUTES is all it takes to crank up the intensity with metabolism revving bursts of high-impact activities. The amazing results: Nearly 70% more calories burned while walking compared to a steady pace walk.If walking to loose weight is your goal on a tight schedule, take note of this brake down, for an effective time saver calorie-burner:
