Casual walking won't burn fat. You need to go harder: tackle hills or speed up until talking feels slightly difficult and you're a bit winded. That's the intensity zone where walking actually works for weight loss.

Hola, let's talk today about the right and wrong way to walk. Okay, there really isn't an actual wrong way to walk, but there is a more efficient way if your goal is fat loss. See what I'm doing here, just walking along on this flat road? You're walking at a nice comfortable pace, you're able to have a conversation, you're not actually putting in a ton of effort, we're just kind of ambling. I hate to say it, but unless you're just out to get some vitamin D, it's really not going to get you anywhere. Now, if you're like, "Lindsey, I live in Nebraska and there isn't a single hill around." Okay, I got you. Here's what you're going to do. You're going to walk on flat. That's fine. But you're going to take it up a notch. You are going to start kind of hoofing it. But how can you tell if your pace is pacey enough? Well, if you're lucky enough to have a walking buddy, chatting with them should be slightly difficult and should cause you to be a little bit winded. So if you're talking like this and having to pause between words, then you're in a good spot.
