Here are a few tips on how to walk to achieve the maximal benefits.
PACE:
Go at a pace which your heart rate is within your target heart range. You should do this at least 3 days a week for 20 minutes. If you walk faster you can burn more calories in a shorter time.
TREADMILLS:
Even though I perfer walking on regular ground, a treadmill can be a very effective way to burn calories.
One advantage of a treadmill is you can do it inside and the incline can be adjusted. Raising the incline slightly also burns more calories.
MOVE YOUR ARMS
Swinging your arms also helps burn calories while your walking. Make sure your arms are between 90 and a 145 degree angle at the elbow. Make sure the arm is locked so the pivotal part of your swing is at your shoulder.
