🌟 Why Fast Walking Works
Walking is one of the most natural forms of exercise, but when done intentionally and at a faster pace, it becomes a powerful fat-burning workout. By adding rhythmic arm movements, side steps, and gentle twists, you engage your core, legs, and upper body, turning an ordinary walk into a full-body calorie burn session.
- Low Impact: Perfect if you want cardio without hurting your knees or back.
- No Equipment Needed: Just some comfortable shoes and a little space.
- Fat-Burning Zone: Keeps your heart rate elevated for 30 minutes to burn calories and improve endurance.
- Beginner Friendly: The no-repeat format keeps it simple while still challenging.
