“45 % say they do it at least three times a week, often more. All, without constraint.”
Sport floods you. Diets? Difficult to hold. And coaching applications always end up in the “forgotten” folder of your phone. However, your body needs activity. But how can you hold on to duration without cracking or forcing yourself? A very stupid method succeeds in this tour de force. She installs a solid physical routine, without pressure.
With this method, your timetable that adapts naturally. She transforms a trivial moment into a real energy expenditure, without any need to think about it. Those who get on it no longer let go. Because it works, first. And because it is almost essential in spite of yourself. According to a study published in BMC Public Health66 % of people who regularly indulge in it say that it pushes them to activate more. And not just a little: 45 % say they do it at least three times a week, often more. All, without constraint.
The secret? A motivation in all events. The one who forces you to get out. Even when it rains. Even when you don’t want to. Result: dozens of minutes of physical activity, day after day. Without interruption. “The objective is regularity and intensity”, explains Stephen Sheehan, certified personal coach at Barbend. He specifies: “Walking longer, faster, more often, it burns more calories. It’s as simple than that.” Provided you don’t drag your feet. The right pace? Supported, dynamic, fast enough for the heart to accelerate a little. No need to sprint, but no stroll either.
The most motivated push the effort a little further. They vary the grounds, change the routes, are added ribs or rugged trails. Others alternate rhythms. They walk quickly, slow down, then leave. A real fractional. And that is formidable. “Varying speeds, it stimulates other muscle fibers, it boosts metabolism, and it improves endurance”details Matt Dustin, Nasm coach and specialist in corrective exercises.
And what distinguishes this slimming practice from others is that it requires a faithful partner. A companion who, every day, awaits you firmly and reminds you of your commitments. Yes, you understood. It is simply a question … to walk your dog.
Dogs need to go out, at least twice a day. No matter the mood or the program. And you, as a master or mistress, you follow. Out of duty at the beginning. For pleasure afterwards. Because this march, imposed by an enthusiastic hair ball, becomes your best slimming ally. So on track!
