Yes, walking does help in reduction of fat by burning calories. This process is rather made complete with staying hydrated and sticking to a regular eating habit.
Most of us who are on the heavier side of the weight spectrum when in comparison with the body mass Index or the BMI, tend to first think of walking as the first line of defense in our voyage to a leaner and fitter self.
Firstly what does walking do to make your body fitter?
Walking is just like any other exercise and most importantly this can be followed by almost all age groups and have similar effects. Walking early in the morning increases the absorption of natural oxygen content to the body. The air rich in oxygen makes the mind and body feel fresh throughout the body.
Walking is the perfect remedy for all those who are tired at the office, have frequent body aches that irk you at the office. It is a natural stress buster that gets the blood flowing to all parts of the body, giving the almost rusty muscles a good workout that can make them work in a perfect harmony. It also helps our skin with the egestion of water and other salts via perspiration, cleaning the pores in the skin and making them feel a lot younger.
Walking gives us a fresh start to the day since there is a release of the happy hormone in our body while walking. It makes the day have a perfect start.
