Metabolic walking is the practice of livening up your regular walking workout with small challenges to fire up your muscles and raise your metabolism. The benefits include increased calorie burn, better cardiovascular fitness, and improved insulin resistance, which in turn may lower your risk of diabetes.
The metabolism is what provides your body with energy for essential functions like breathing and digesting food. While it's largely set by genetics, you can pull on your walking shoes and make changes to your exercise habits to improve it. Metabolic walking is one way to do it, and unlike many trends, the experts are all for this one.
