How much weight can I lose from walking 2 miles 5 days a week for a month?
Walking 2 miles a week may help you lose some weight in the beginning.Calories burnt by walking - 5 x 30 x 5 = 750 calories. This will help lose 400 grams in a month.However the following walking for weight lose could be better optionWalking to Lose WeightWalking burns 5 calories per minute.There are 1440 minutes in 24 hours.Average calorie consumption is 2500 for a person looking to lose weight.Calories are produced during cellular metabolic process. By exercising or increasing the burning of calories we cannot increase the production of calories during cellular metabolic process substantially. We can at best expect small changes.Calories are used by vital organs and vital processes of the body AND for physical exercises and movements.So if we start spending too much calories all of sudden on exercises there will be shortfall of calories in the body. This will be made good by restricting the calories required by vital organs.So if you keep running for hours we may die in few seconds. But there are defence mechanisms in the body which ensure that we do not run that long which can kill us.Walking for 5 minutes every hour (Around 10 times in a day) will burn 5x5x10 = 250 calories in a day.Resting Metabolic Rate was 2500/1440 x 50 = 87 calories.Net Calorie loss is 250 - 87 = 163.This is less than 7% of average calories that are consumed by a person looking to lose weight. This extra burden can be shared by increase in cellular metabolic rate within few days.How do a person feels by walking for such a short period of time.More alert, full of energy etc. This is indicative of increase in Resting Metabolic Rate. That would mean there will be extra calorie burning without an exercise, if that extra burden can be shared by cellular metabolism.So if a person keeps walking he is quite likely to increase his Resting Metabolic Rate.But if a person walks for 1 or 2 hours at a time, the extra calorie burning will be 60 x 5 or 10 = 300 or 600 calories. That will be difficult to shift this extra burden on cellular metabolism. So the body will save some calories meant for vital organs. That will cause deterioration of vital organs.Walking 2 to 5 minutes every hours means sure weight loss. The chances of regaining this lost weight will also be minimum because there is increasing in Resting Metabolic Rate. So even if you stop walking you will not gain any weight.
How much weight can you lose in 28 days by walking 30 minutes daily?
HEY!First things first, losing weight depends on two main factors :1.How many calories you burn (Physical Activity) :The thumb rule is for every 1 minute you walk you burn approx 6-7 calories. So if you just walk for 30 mins you will be burning close to 200 calories per day.For 28 days, you would be burning 5600 calories.Now for every 7000 extra calories you burn you lose 1kg.So you would be losing less than a kg weight just by this exercise. So I would advise you to check option two.2.How many calories you eat (Diet :Calorie intake):This involves intaking less calories in the first place.You can go on a calorie deficit 1000-1500 diet. Assuming your BMR = 1900 calories, if you follow this you will be burning more than 900 calories extra per day and in 28 days you will be burning close to 25000 calories, which will result in weight loss of 3.6kg!!The choice is all yours :)I hope that helps.
Is swimming 2 times a week enough to lose weight?
Not immediately. Swimming in a LCM (50 Meter) pool is really good for working on your stroke without having to constantly do flips and wall practice. (I usually only get to take 7 or 8 strokes in a 25 yard pool after my underwater kicks). Depending on how fast you swim, it will burn many more Calories. If you swim constantly for an hour and a half at a 2:00 100m pace, you will burn lots of calories. On the other hand, if you make sets that work different muscle groups and strokes, even if they aren't just constant swimming, you will get much more in shape. I've been swimming 6-10 times per week in a SCY pool for 1 hour to 2 hours each time, doing sets and lots of endurance training, and I've dropped almost 10 lbs since the beginning of the swim season (~2 months ago). I was in about the same boat as you, a little extra flab in the stomach. I actually got rid of my Asthma by increasing my lung capacity from swimming as well. I'd say that swimming is a great choice to become more fit generally, and you will have trouble making the full hour and a half at first. In addition, I would give it about a month before you begin to see actual results. You will improve very fast at first though. (I need to find a LCM pool so I can work on my stroke more... need to build up my stroke endurance for the 500y free at league...)
Can walking 3 miles a day help you lose weight?
Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more. You can always eat negative calorie foods to lose weight. Below is a list of negative calorie foods that will boost your metabolism. These foods don't actually have negative calories but when you eat these foods raw or slightly cooked your body burns more calories digesting and processing them than what is in the food itself. For a healthy weight loss add some of these foods to your diet each day. Most of them are full of healthy nutrients. Negative Calorie Fruits: apples cranberries grapefruit lemons mangoes oranges pineapple raspberries strawberries tangerines Negative Calorie Vegetables: asparagus beets broccoli cabbage (green) carrots cauliflower celery Chile peppers (hot) cucumber dandelions endives garden cress garlic green beans lettuce onions papaya radishes spinach turnips Source(s): Web search for "list of negative calorie foods"
Does swimming help you lose weight?
I need to have a body of a hollister model for the summer for my cousins wedding. There's going to be an after party at the pool and she said we all have to look skinny in our bathing suits. So starting in spring I'm going to swim 3 days a week for 2 hours. I don't do laps I just swim free style and play lol. Will this make me really skinny?
How much weight will I lose if walk 6-9 miles a day for a month?
Walking 6 miles a day is an ambitious feat, and while weight loss may be your goal, you want to make sure your body is properly fueled so you can get those miles in at a strong pace. Carbs -- fruit, grains and veggies -- are the fuel your muscles need to power your body as you walk. Eat your carbs one to three hours before walking to get the energy you need without upsetting your stomach. Good carb-rich ideas include a peanut butter and banana sandwich, yogurt and strawberries or whole-grain crackers and cheese. Also be sure to drink 16 ounces of water before your walk -- especially if it's hot and you're walking outside -- and continue to drink as you exercise.Refuel after your long walk with a snack consisting of carbs and protein -- a glass of low-fat chocolate milk or turkey and an apple -- within 30 minutes of finishing. During those 30 minutes after any workout, your body needs food to replenish energy stores and repair and build muscle. Also, continue to re hydrate with another cup of water.Consult a registered dietitian to help design an individualized healthy meal plan to go with your walking regimen.
Has anyone lost weight with Swimming?
I have been trying to shed those extra pounds that I gained due to hormonal shots in the past couple of months. I tried Yoga, Gym , GM diet plan. I managed to lose 16 pounds. But now it seems really hard to lose those 20 pounds more. I have resorted to swimming these days. I read online that swimming isn't a great way to lose weight. But these med articles are not always reliable. I want to know from the experiences of people. Is anyone out there who has lost weight with swimming? If yes, how many hours per day/ how many times per week? Is there any other exercise which I need to follow along with swimming? Please help!!!
