Made a new year's resolution to lose weight? You might be tempted to jump into a punishing exercise regime and super low-calorie diet, but this approach is unlikely to be sustainable. Instead, it's better to focus on building healthy eating habits and finding ways to increase your daily energy expenditure.
Dietitians and trainers often recommend walking as a weight loss tool. It's an accessible, low-impact exercise that can help you increase your calorie burn. If you're new to exercise, it will also boost your cardio fitness, so that your body is better prepared for faster-paced exercise.
