Walking To Lose Baby Weight

Did you know that walking is one of the best ways to lose baby weight and can have massive benefits for your health?

As well as being a great way to see the countryside and get out in the fresh air, walking can help to: Increase your fitness, stamina, confidence and well being, reduce the risk of heart disease, lose baby weight, strengthen bones, reduce high blood pressure and reduce stress and anxiety.

Any walking is better than none but, to make sure you are getting maximum health benefits, a brisk walk is better than a stroll and you should work towards walking for 30 minutes on most days of the week at a pace that makes you warm and your breathing slightly more heavy than normal.

So, stride out and improve your health but make sure you don’t over do it – you should still be able to talk when walking!

The potential benefits of walking far outweigh the risks but if you haven’t participated in much exercise recently and are worried about your health, but want to lose baby weight, please make sure you check with your doctor before increasing your activity lev
