Just a few minutes of walking is not enough for the result, points out certified trainer Amanda Grimm, in an interview for the website Eat This, Not That, quoted by Blik:

“Walking can be a great way to reduce belly fat. However, a five-minute walk won't give you the desired results.”

The “ideal” time depends on several factors

According to the specialist, you need to walk between 30 and 60 minutes every day to hope for changes, and the results will be seen in four to eight weeks.

However, the coach emphasizes that the time required to obtain this effect depends on several aspects.

“The exact time depends on other factors such as age, individual diet and metabolism.”

At the same time, she recommends gradually complicating the training.

“You need to find a pace where you feel a little out of breath. This will help increase the number of calories you burn.” says the coach.

Grimm points out that the effect is more apparent when you combine walking with other workouts:

“The best results in terms of fat loss and muscle tone are usually achieved by combining walking with another type of exercise.“

However, the specialist explains that the caloric deficit is the key:

“Consistency always beats random bursts of activity, even at higher intensities. Regular daily walks create a stable caloric deficit, essential for burning fat“.

“Vary the intensity to constantly challenge your body”

Walking technique is very important:

“You have to do everything right to get the maximum benefit and avoid injury. Avoid going too slowly, monitor your posture and vary the intensity to constantly challenge your body if you want to achieve maximum fat burning potential on the go”says Amanda Grimm.

Beware, too much abdominal fat can increase the risk of chronic diseases, experts warn.
