Track and record your weight each week to see your progress. Losing 1 to 2 lbs. per week is recognized as being a healthy, sustainable rate of weight loss. One pound is equivalent to about 3,500 calories, so if you burn 500 more calories than you consume each day, you will lose about 1 lb. in a week. Follow a regular running program of 20-minute jogging sessions. The amount of calories that you burn each session depends on your weight and running speed.
There are additional ways to burn more calories that are fun and challenging. Try walking backwards or walking on the beach. Both can help you lose weight and build muscle. If you are new to fitness walking, start out slow and easy. Walk for ten minutes if possible at a pace that is comfortable for you. Increase your time by one minute every other day or two or when you feel comfortable. After you can walk for thirty minutes at a time, you can begin to increase your speed.
