Walking seems to be the easiest exercise to do when you are looking for a steady work out. Others may prefer to run as running will sculpted a tone physique and stave off stress. An average person that’s weights about  140 pounds that runs a 10 minute mile pace for an hour burns 512 calories compare to 80 to 100 calories just walking, Both exercise will burn calories. Running will have you shed more body fat than just walking given you enviable legs that will have your body looking tone and trim. Running  can extent your life expectancy  it keeps the blood moving smoothly and rev up your metabolism bringing more oxygen to the body helping you breath better, Rather you  working out on that day or not.  Compare to someone who doesn’t do any physical exercised. It may even help prevent cardiovascular disease and diabetes, In the event that you are prevented from running long distances how about doing some sprinting.

Sprinting triggers a fat torching response in your muscle, To do this run for a couple of seconds. Slow down  pace for two minutes repeat this cycle a couple of times and finish off with a jog until you can go longer. Walking also have you burn calories not as much as running do. Walking gives you time to communicate if you are working out with a partner or a time to clear your head if you are under a lot of stress. Their comes a time when we reach our desire weight loss goal that we began to convert to old habits. The way you were in your teens and twenties you could get away with eating whatever you wanted and not gain a pound maybe even lose more weight due to the fact that you had a high metabolism and some days you could go without eaten because you weren’t even hungry all the time or get away with eating once day. Now that you are not in your twenties you have to watch what you eat and work out even longer just to maintain a certain weight. Because your bones gets bigger you can always tell the difference between a teen an adult no matter if they both are the same weight.  According to the scale the adult body will either look more heavier or anorexia if the adult is trying to reach the weight they were in high school. You need to be more realistic and not take drastic measure and accept that your body does go through different changes. If you eat a high calorie food you will be three to four pounds heavier.

 What can you do to prevent the gain. Find out which food source are making you gain this fat that you desperately do not want. Write down what you eaten step on the scale, Write that number down the next day step on the scale again when you have not consume any liquids or solid food and have not taken any medication you either will be the same weight you where the night before or less.  Yes, Some medication do put weight on you. Do your research and find out could your weight gain cause by the medication your doctor prescribe or could it be an under active thyroid all medication does have good benefits as well as side effects. I have seen people avoid taken their medication just to lose weight and the outcome was not good I will advise you not to do this if you are one of those people that avoid taken your medication just to lose weight. You might not realize just how much you really needed that medication until it’s to late. Ask your doctor could your medication cause weight gain you will be surprise how many doctors changes a patience prescription once they start asking questions.
