You should walk fast enough to reach the required level of physical activity and be at 60-70 % of your maximum heart rate. The brisk pace will help you to get the desired results. To make the process easier you can use an app, a fitness band, or a heart rate monitor. You can also divide your walking time into 10-minute periods. When you get used to this type of exercise, you can also incorporate high intensity walking several times a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a newbie, it\u2019s better to start with shorter periods and gradually increase your time of exercising. Remember that rest days are just as important as staying physically active. To improve your results you can perform strength workouts on the days when you are not walking. It is also important to warm up for five minutes before you jump into exercising and cool down after walking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2361&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=How_Can_Walking_Come_In_Handy_If_You_Want_To_Lose_Weight\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30920 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4114-1024x576.png\" alt=\"walk to lose weight\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4114.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4114-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4114.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4114-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4114.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/a-21-day-walking-plan-for-fat-loss\/\">A 21-Day Walking Plan For Fat Loss<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Should_You_Walk_To_Lose_Weight\"><\/span>How Much Should You Walk To Lose Weight?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want not only strengthen your health, but also lose weight, you should walk 30-90 minutes per day.
