How do you go from fat to skinny in just 3 weeks walking? You do it every day and at every possible moment. Walk as if you had no other way to get to where you were going and you had to get there as quick as possible. Don't run. Use light weights around your waist and your ankles and carry some in your hands. As you are walking stretch your arms out and do wide motions, circular motions and then raise your arms in an upward position above your head and then lower to shoulder area.
Now here is a technique to make your walking more effective and cause that fat to melt right off your body in just days. First warm up your body gently walking light for about 1 minute. Next walk as fast as you can for 1 minute. Don't run. Just walk quickly. After one minute slow down and walk normal for 1 minute. Next walk as fast as you can and raise your arms above your head and lower to shoulder area (best to use light hand weights) and repeat all for 1 minute. Now go back to walking at a normal pace and rest arms for 1 minute. Continue to repeat and add circular motions with your arms, wide motions with your arms or any motion you choose. You want to walk fast for 1 minute and then normal for 1 minute all while stretching your arms. It is best to use light weights as weights trim and sculpt the body. You should repeat this for 10 minutes.
Be sure and drink lots of water and add a pinch of sea salt to replace those minerals. As you get stronger and feel better increase up to 30 minutes per day. It is recommended that you walk with this suggested technique 3 to 4 times per week minimum and then walk normal on the other days. You should walk every day as your body needs this type of motion.
You can use bands in place of weights. You can also get bands with weights in them (highly recommended). Bands are a great way to stretch as well as build and tone muscle. You can also do isometrics with the bands. Here is what you do. Walk as fast as you can for 1 minute and stretch your arms outward to your sides and hold in place nice and firm for the 1 minute you are walking fast. After 1 minute rest your arms and walk normal. Repeat for 10 minutes 1 minute intense and 1 minute normal. Choose different arm stretches for each isometric exercise.
Walking is still the best way to take the excess weight off and keep it off of any exercise there is. And the best part is it is free. It is also easy on your joints and knees and just feels good all around. Be diligent to your new walking technique and soon your friends.
The percentage of body fat is also a factor - maybe the most important. On the other hand, the height/weight ratio isn't the only factor that determines physical fitness.
The idea is to keep the muscle that you have - and add to it - while losing the fat, building muscle and increasing stamina. Which lead me to three absolutely essential factors that I believe define every successful weight loss program:
1. Achieving a healthy height/weight ratio 2. Achieving a lower percentage of body fat 3. Achieving a higher degree of stamina
Success Factor #1: Achieving a healthy height/weight ratio
For women, the height to weight ratio is between 2 and 2.2 pounds per inch of height. The ratio is slightly higher for men, but not by much.
For example: a woman who is 5'1? tall has a mid range weight of 122 pounds according to the height weight chart. A man of the same height has a mid range weight of 134 pounds.
But achieving that correct height/weight ratio isn't all there is to successful weight loss. A man can be six feet tall, his weight can be within the ideal weight limits according to those height/weight charts - yet he can still not be physically fit. Scales don't distinguish between "fat pounds" and "muscle pounds."
Success Factor #2: Achieving a lower percentage of body fat
The body's fat percentage is just that: the % fat your body contains. Your body weight is the total of everything - muscle, fat bone, etc. - combined. So the number of pounds reduced isn't enough information to determine whether your weight loss program is successful.
There are lots of free body fat calculators online, and even a site that can find out your body fat based upon the measurements of your hips, wrist, ankle and thigh.
Weight training exercises are the single best way to reduce your body fat percentage. Achieving a lower percentage of body fat is actually accomplished by building muscle while losing fat.
Success Factor #3: Achieving a higher degree of stamina
When people are overweight and their percentage of body fat to muscle is too high, they usually don't have a lot of stamina. They can't walk, run or climb stairs easily.
The best way to increase stamina is by engaging in aerobic exercises that are designed to improve the cardiovascular system function. Build up your heart and lungs, and stamina always increases.
So remember, no weight loss program can be considered a winner unless you keep the muscle you have, increase the overall amount of muscle in your body, and lose fat.
