Yes, walking is a great form of exercise and an additional way to lose weight. Apart from being low intensity, you don’t have to buy lots of expensive equipment to get the benefits. You simply take on a pair of shoes, put on some comfortable clothes, and get the fresh air.
Luckily, anything that burns calories can help you lose fat, including walking. Although walking doesn’t burn as many calories as running, cycling, or playing sports, consistently getting 7-8k steps (1-1½ hours of walking) daily can help you burn anywhere from 300-400 calories. Combined with a balanced diet, it can make you see massive weight loss.
