Wits & Weights | Evidence-Based Fitness & Nutrition for Lifters Over 40 Ep 34: Speed Up Fat Loss (and Live Longer) without Excessive Dieting or Cardio
What if there was an easy way to speed up fat loss, burn 500 more calories a day (which is 1 extra pound a week), increase your potential lifespan, reduce your chance of disease, all without excessive cardio or dieting?
This is not the next big fitness industry secret but instead one of the easiest, natural, and most effective forms of movement for humans . . . and that is WALKING!
Whether you already “get your steps” or you sit around most of the day behind a desk, we are going to dissect the many benefits of walking, from its ability to burn way more calories than you think, increase your metabolism, improve your overall function in life, preferentially burn fat to improve body composition, reduce mortality, and improve associated markers like blood pressure, resting heart rate, cholesterol, depression, and VO2 max.
Walking is perhaps the most underrated but effective forms of exercise we can incorporate.
Finally, as always on this show, we will discuss easy, actionable strategies for walking effectively that you can start using right away!
