I got a pedometer and lost the little booklet. Im trying to loose weight and I know there is amount steps for weight loss but not sure how much. Also not sure if it is a daily amount of steps or weekly? Im trying to loose about 30 lbs. in like 6 months.
I’ve been one of those people that were chubby all my life. I tried every diet plan that came along. A couple months ago I saw a friend of mine that I han’t seen in over six months. She had lost over 40 lbs and looked amazing. I started following her plan and I’ve dropped 17 lbs in 3 weeks. You can read about her plan at http://ow.ly/1tU9a.
Island gurl, if you’re really interested in losing the 30 lbs there are many much better ways to do it – and quicker at that. Non intensive exercise like walking is pretty useless compared to a high intensity workout like a boot-camp or body weight exercises.
Are you thinking of doing the walking in conjunction with any other exercise?
If you would consider an alternative I would recommend that you try this routine:
5 min warm up
30 sec sprint at 85% of your maximum
90 sec walk at 30% of your maximum
5 min cooldown
Repeat this 6 times without stopping and you’re done.
This workout in itself will give you much better weight loss results.
Obviously – please consult your doctor if you have any medical conditions.
Oh and the popularly believed amount of steps necessary per day is 10,000.
you may want to do a little more than just walking for that kind of goal in that timeframe. if you need ideas for workout routines, check out http://weightlossroutine.net
