Walking provides a number of benefits for the body and mind, including reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety, lowering the risk of disease, and improving sleep quality.
Walking is an enjoyable, simple activity that has positive effects on both physical and mental health. This activity can be done outdoors, indoors, or even on a treadmill that can be adjusted to increase calorie burning.
According to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, adults are recommended to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity, 75 minutes of high-intensity aerobic activity, or an equivalent combination each week to maintain health and prevent diseases. Here are the benefits of walking in burning calories quoted from health.com (3/5).
The calories burned while walking depend on several factors, including speed, distance traveled, and your weight.
At a slow speed (2.0 mph), they will burn around 80 calories for every mile they travel, while at a moderate speed (2.8 mph), the amount of calories burned becomes around 74. If the speed is increased to fast (3.5 mph), the amount of calories burned will rise to 83, and at a very fast speed (4 mph), the amount of calories burned reaches 91.
You can adjust the speed and distance according to your goals. If you want to increase the speed from slow to fast, it is recommended to start slowly and gradually increase it.
To monitor the number of calories burned during walking activities, there are several tracking devices available that can be used. One of them is to use applications such as MapMyWalk or Strava, as well as fitness tracking devices. Smartphones may have been equipped with internal step sensors that are capable of measuring distance and the number of calories burned. These sensors can be connected to other fitness tracking devices.
Another alternative is to use an electronic pedometer, a motion tracker device that can be carried anywhere, which records steps while walking. Some pedometers are even capable of measuring total distance traveled, heart rate, and calories burned. Make sure to check the manufacturer's specifications before purchasing to ensure that the tracking device has the ability to accurately track calories.
"To improve energy usage while walking, there are several strategies that can be effectively utilized:"
Speeding up your pace while walking will increase the amount of energy with low or moderate speed. Climbing or using stairs will consume more energy than walking on a flat surface. Take advantage of interval sprints or jogging during walking sessions to improve speed and energy usage. Try to walk more frequently throughout the day by choosing shorter routes, such as walking to the store or lunch places. Listen to your favorite music while walking to enhance motivation and make it more enjoyable.
Walking is an activity that provides physical and mental health benefits. Walking every day can improve brain function, strengthen bones and muscles, and reduce the risk of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
"Not only that, engaging in activities such as walking can also improve sleep quality, memory, and focus, as well as help lower blood pressure, reduce joint pain, maintain a healthy weight, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Walking also has positive effects on mental health by reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety."
Research shows that walking at moderate or high intensity can improve mental health, reduce negative emotional impacts, and lower blood pressure. For example, middle-aged adults who walk between 7,000 to 9,999 steps have a lower risk of death compared to those who walk less than 7,000 steps. Therefore, it is crucial to increase the daily step count from the baseline level (less than 5,000 steps) to the moderate level (between 7,000 to 9,999 steps) to improve life expectancy.
