Optimal Fat-Burning Zone – Walking at a brisk pace of about 3.5 to 4 miles per hour (a 15-17 minute per mile pace) helps you stay in the fat-burning zone.
Heart Rate Target – This pace increases your heart rate to about 60-75% of your maximum heart rate, optimizing fat burning while being easy on the joints.
Duration Matters – Aim for at least 30-60 minutes of brisk walking to tap into fat reserves. The longer you walk, the more fat you burn.
Consistency is Key – Walking at this speed consistently (3-5 times a week) helps maintain fat-burning efficiency over time.
Elevation Boosts Results – Adding incline by walking uphill or on an inclined treadmill engages more muscles, enhancing fat loss.
Post-Walk Fat Burn – Walking at a brisk pace for 45-60 minutes can keep your body burning fat for hours after you finish.
Track Your Progress – Use a fitness tracker to monitor your speed, steps, and calories burned to ensure you’re staying in the optimal fat-burning zone.
