Maximising Your Workout: How Long Should You Exercise for Optimal Weight Loss? - By Yerinsa / CHICHI

The duration of your walk for maximum weight loss efficiency will depend on various factors such as your current fitness level, body weight, intensity of the walk, and overall activity level.

What is the optimal duration?

As a general guideline, experts recommend aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week for overall health benefits, including weight loss.

For weight loss specifically, it's recommended to aim for closer to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week. This could be broken down into 30-60 minute walks most days of the week.

How do I increase intensity

To increase the efficiency of your weight loss efforts, you can also try increasing the intensity of your walks by adding hills or inclines or increasing your walking speed. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is also an effective way to boost weight loss, and can be incorporated into your walking routine by adding short bursts of higher intensity walking or jogging.

Ultimately, the key to weight loss through walking is consistency and making it a regular part of your routine. Consult with a healthcare professional before starting a new exercise routine, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.
