According to a study showed that, if you need to lose weight, 15-minute walking exercise may be insufficient.

Biometrics researcher at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, Dr. Michael Costanza said to WebMD, a 15-minute walking exercise on your heart and mental state are helpful, but weight loss is not enough. His paper is now published in the United States Journal of Public Health.

Some researchers suggested that people who are losing weight reduction of 100 calories from fat, or through a daily 15 minutes of moderate or brisk walking to burn 100 calories.

His research on the burning of fat to provide a surreal point of view, Costanza to WebMD that people need to walk longer distances to get rid of excess body weight.

In this experiment, Costanza took five years to complete the survey 6,010 spaces between the ages of 35 to 74 adults between the ages of the Swiss lifestyle, and then planning for the day the following day, fat-burning Walking suggested that subjects were arranged 15 to 30 minutes of walking, were divided into slow, moderate, Quickstep or sports-style Rush, France decided to take a different metabolic rate and burning fat amount.

If the mother are in accordance with his recommended way to do exercise, he found, such as the following

* The average adult is slow walk for 15 minutes a day and only burn 9 calories.

* The average adult is slow walking 30 minutes a day and only burn 25 calories.

Assumes that the parent body of all those involved in the implementation of a more difficult exercise, the following result will be expected:

* Moderate walk for 15 minutes a day can burn 36 calories.

* Trot to walk will increase the calorie burning, walking 30 minutes a day trot can burn 129 calories.

Costanza pointed out that if your goal is set to burn 100 calories a day, then a 15-minute walking exercise is not enough, stroll walking calories consumed too little is done, it needs more time to trot to walk, It can increase calorie burning, so we can successfully achieve weight loss goals.

The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Weight Management Center, said Dr. Madelyn Fernstrom, it is not true. Fernstrom said to WebMD, you can walk by walking 15 to 20 minutes, but get rid of 10 pounds of body weight, provided that you have to do every day, but if you can not reduction in calorie intake, then you burn 100 calories, will cost you a year’s time, in order to subtract 10 pounds of body weight.

What makes people’s concerns? Eats an extra 150 calories and offset all of the exercise, he explained that they were a waste of weight loss efforts.

Fernstrom do not like the public health provided by the message that walking 10,000 steps a message, or 1 day 45-1 minutes reduce the weight of the argument that people know what to do. She said that people will one day do not think the same is good.

She suggested to set a realistic goal, a 30-minute and a half miles began to walk, then walk for 15 minutes a mile, then walk for 30 minutes 2 miles. Fernstrom stressed that this idea is to increase physical activity in a limited time.

In order to lose excess body weight in a short time, reducing calories has also helped, but the movement is less than the cost of food, she explained, are you 1 day to reduce 500 calories, 1 week would be reduced from 1 pound weight, if you do each day, some sports, you can only reduce 350 calories, so 150 pounds when you’re trying to lose weight is very valuable.

Fernstrom added that, of course, you can lose weight by eating less and without the need to exercise some, but there are many books tell you to understand, to be effective weight loss, exercise will be an easier way.
