While many associate weight loss with gruelling spin classes, marathon runs and hour-long dance sessions that leave you drenched in sweat, one fitness instructor has revealed a simpler approach.
TikTok user @alexx.fitt shared her secret to easy weight loss on the platform, encouraging followers to incorporate one particular exercise into their daily routine for optimal results.
“Walking is the easiest way to lose weight”, she declared while demonstrating the activity herself. “I don’t care what you do, just start going on walks.”
She explained that walking doesn’t induce the same level of hunger as more intense workouts like running or HIIT, leading to reduced food intake and subsequent weight loss.
Additionally, walking primarily burns fat rather than carbs, resulting in faster fat loss.
“When I tell you my legs have leaned out so much from walking it’s insane”, she added, attributing her slimmed-down legs to regular walks.
The NHS supports this advice, stating: “A daily brisk walk can give your body a boost, lift your mood and make everyday activities easier.
“Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier. Sometimes overlooked as a form of exercise, walking briskly can help you build stamina, burn excess calories and make your heart healthier.”
Health gurus advocate for “150 minutes of weekly exercise” for individuals aged 19-64, suggesting that incorporating brisk walking into this routine can significantly contribute to overall fitness.
