Research shows that walking at a brisk pace of about 4.5 mph (7.2 km/h) helps burn fat more efficiently compared to slower walking speeds.
At this faster walking speed, your body relies more on fat for energy, leading to up to three times more fat burned compared to walking at a moderate pace.
Faster walking raises your heart rate, helping you burn more calories in less time, which is beneficial for fat loss.
Maintaining a brisk pace improves cardiovascular endurance, strengthening the heart while promoting overall fitness and fat-burning.
Walking at this specific speed keeps your metabolism elevated, allowing you to burn fat even after the walk is over.
One of the best parts of this fat-burning method is that it requires no special equipment—just comfortable shoes and an open space to walk.
Unlike high-impact exercises, brisk walking is gentle on the joints, making it a sustainable option for long-term fat loss.
