Every other person is concentrated on losing weight. It is either because of the lifestyle we follow or the heavy working hours which brings us all the unwanted fats. We can't help but notice how our clothes are getting tighter by the month and we're now hiding our bulge here and there. This results in heavy workout routines or extremely difficult diets. For some, this might work. For some, it might go down the drain. But if you're someone who desperately wants to lose weight and can't do either the workout or the diet, just start walking. Yep! That's true. Walking regularly is the best exercise you can give to your body to shed those extra kilos.

Dr Amar Singhal, interventional cardiologist, Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute, Delhi says, “It’s the easiest way to increase physical activity and improve fitness. It is popular and accessible to all, with a minimal risk of injury.”

Walking burns down fats which are accumulated around your belly region and helps you stay away from type 2 diabetes. It also burns down calories, which is the most important thing to do when you want to lose weight. Once you get into a daily habit of walking, you'll stay fit and also be able to keep your weight constant.

A 30-minutes walk per day can work wonders for your health.
