When you want to lose weight, not every workout has to be super intense to yield results. In fact, low-intensity cardio workouts can be just as productive in your journey toward shedding unwanted pounds. Low-intensity cardio is especially useful for those who seek something easier on the joints or enjoy a slower-paced workout session. That's why we chatted with the experts to determine the best low-intensity cardio workouts for weight loss.
'You don’t have to elevate your heart rate to the levels you do while running to achieve weight loss,' explains April Gatlin, senior master coach for STRIDE Fitness. 'I would recommend walking for 30-45 minutes to get your blood flowing and burn some calories. Add some inclines in as well to increase that burn!'
This physical activity will get you outdoors and help burn calories. In fact, an hour of cross-country hiking for a person who weighs 125 pounds will torch approximately 170 calories, while someone who weighs 155 pounds will burn about 216 calories. 'Pick up the pace just above your walking tempo, and you’ll definitely feel a lift in your heart rate and a step closer to your weight loss goals,' says Gatlin.
