The Best cardio For Weight Loss - Do This Everyday To Lose Fat
You’re probably thinking it’s some type of High Intensity Interval Training.
But, no. It’s not HIIT. Okay, what is it? Hold on one second…
In this article, OR VIDEO (CLICK HERE TO WATCH), you’ll learn this:
Why you should do this everyday
The pros & cons of doing this
& a detailed action plan so you can start TODAY!
Now I’ll tell you. The best cardio for weight loss is…
WALKING!
Now hold on. I know that’s not sexy, but it’s true.
We are going over 4 factors & then your action plan to start today. The 4 factors are: Motivation, Recovery, Hunger, & Health.
#1 Motivation
I’m putting this at #1 because it 100% deserves the #1 spot. Think about how much you have to hype yourself up to go for a run or do HIIT cardio.
If you’re anything like me you’d need a full body massage therapist waiting for you at the end of the run.
While on the other hand, walking is easy. You just get up & walk. I guess the same could be said for running, you just get up & run.
But, that’s never the case when going for a run, at least for me. And since you’re watching this you probably aren’t consistently running either.
There’s a HUGE difference between getting motivated or hyped up to go for a run & going for a walk.
That’s why it’s #1 on the list. Because if you want to become more active, burn more calories, be healthier & look better walking is the easiest form of cardio to help you do that.
#2 Recovery
Walking is super low impact so it’s easy to recover from.
But it also promotes recovery by increasing blood flow so if you had a tough workout today, yesterday, or a couple of days ago & you’re a bit sore, walking will help you recover a bit better.
#3 Hunger
Think about how hungry & ravenous you are after a run or HIIT session.
After I run, which is rare, I need Gatorade & a hefty meal to satisfy my hunger.
But after I walk it doesn’t really spike my hunger at all. I usually walk before breakfast but even after I walk I’m not rushing to go eat because it doesn’t affect your hunger too much at all.
Walking for cardio is an easy way to burn some calories without making you feel more hungry like running or other more intense cardio does.
#4 overall Health
Daily walking is amazing for overall health, longevity, less stress, healthier heart, & you will feel better both physically & mentally after your walks. This is usually called “runners high” but you get it from walking too.
Your Action Plan To Start TODAY
I’m going to go over your action plan to have you walking 8,000-12,000 steps every day without burning out & ensuring that you build it into your daily routine sustainably so you never want to quit or give up.
There are two ways we can set actionable goals for you to start walking every day: For a specific amount of steps or a specific amount of time. I’ll use both just in case you prefer one method over the other, or if you only have one way to track it.
Before we dive into it you need to do ONE thing first.
Commit right now to a realistic time that you can walk each day. This is crucial. Set a reminder/alarm on your phone if you have to. If you set a specific time for your daily walk you’re far more likely to do it everyday.
Your action plan:
Week 1: 4k-6k steps/day or a 10-20 min walk every day.
Week 2: 6k-8k steps/day or a 15-30 min walk every day.
Week 3: 8k-10k steps/day or a 30-45 min walk every day.
Week 4: 8k-12k steps/day or a 35-60 min walk every day.
BOOM. Just like that. In one month you’ll have slowly & sustainably built in a daily walking habit that will help you feel & look better, live longer, & be healthier.
If you need to start slower make week 1 last for two weeks instead.
So it’d look like this:
Weeks 1 & 2: 4k-6k steps/day or a 10-20 min walk every day.
Weeks 3 & 4: 6k-8k steps/day or a 15-30 min walk every day.
Weeks 5 & 6: 8k-10k steps/day or a 30-45 min walk every day.
Weeks 7 & 8: 8k-12k steps/day or a 35-60 min walk every day.
This might seem like I’m hating on running & HIIT but…
The best cardio for YOU is the form of cardio you enjoy the most or that you can stay the most consistent with.
So if that is running, HIIT, or whatever for YOU & YOU enjoy it & can stay consistent with it then there is nothing wrong with that & I support it!
