Can you lose weight by walking 10,000 steps a day? I was frightened by this truth.

　　When we went shopping together yesterday, Little A told me with excitement that her WeChat step count had reached tens of thousands again, and she could finally have a cup of milk tea with peace of mind. Once upon a time, there were often people in the circle of friends who checked their steps on WeChat. Some people accumulated 10,000 or 20,000 steps in a day. They instantly felt great and could eat cakes and desserts without blushing or out of breath.

　　A friend asked me while drinking milk tea, can I lose weight by walking 10,000 steps every day?

　　The answer is of course yes. After all, it’s always good to take a few steps if you have nothing to do. But if you can’t lose weight, it must be because you are taking the wrong steps, because taking 10,000 steps every day really doesn’t mean much.

　　Just like my friend Xiao A, he walked two steps and saw an ice cream shop, bought one and ate while walking. When he was tired, he saw a milk tea shop and went to have a drink and rest for a while. Then he continued walking. Unknowingly, he accumulated 10,000 steps. But with 10,000 steps a day, do you dare to say that you can really lose weight? Not only will you not lose weight, but you will also gain weight.

　　Everyone knows that the principle of losing weight is to consume more than you consume. Many people think that walking 10,000 steps a day can consume a lot of calories. But the facts tell us that everything is just your fantasy. If you don’t believe it, let’s take a look.

　　Usually we can consume about 300 calories by walking 10,000 steps seriously. It doesn't look too much or too little. Anyway, if you stick to it, you can lose weight. But the premise here is to walk in a serious way, rather than counting steps and eating while shopping.

　　Let’s take a look at what 300 calories of food looks like

　　Potato chips 55g

　　Salted bacon 51g

　　Puffed bread 135g

　　Popcorn 79g

　　Grape 435g

　　Donuts 105g

　　500ml bubble milk tea

　　After seeing this, do you still think you can lose weight by checking your steps on WeChat every day like going shopping?

　　The average number of steps a normal adult accumulates every day is about 6,500, and the intensity is not high. It can basically be done by going shopping and walking the dog. Do you think Rourou might start to let you go because of such a simple exercise?

　　Seeing this, some people would say, walking every day will not help you lose weight? Of course not, but you need to master some skills. For example, you can change walking to brisk walking. Brisk walking consumes high calories, and brisk walking will not make you want to eat this and that all the time. The standard of brisk walking is that the number of steps per minute should exceed 100, and the palms of your hands should be slightly sweaty and warm.

　　In the season when the weather is slightly cold, the time for each brisk walk can be mainly half an hour to 45 minutes. heart rate You can lose weight if you are strong enough. When walking briskly, you should also pay attention to your walking posture, raise your head, hold your chest up, and slim down your abdomen.(99healthy net( www.99.com.cn ) Special article, please indicate the source if you need to reprint)
