Burn calories and maintain a healthy weight: As you continue to walk, you may notice your pants begin to fit more loosely around your midsection, even if the number on the scale isn't moving much. That's because regular walking can help reduce fat and, as a result, improve your body's response to insulin, according to research.

Some research shows that for every 1,000 daily steps you take, you could lower your systolic blood pressure by .45 points.

How to Speed Up Your Metabolism: 4 Easy Ways Eat plenty of protein at every meal: Eating food can temporarily increase your metabolism for a few hours. This is called the thermic effect of food (TEF). It's caused by the extra calories required to digest, absorb, and process the nutrients in your meal. Do a high-intensity workout: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) involves quick and very intense bursts of activity. If this type of exercise is safe for you, it can help indirectly speed up your metabolism. Your muscle cells will burn energy at rest, which helps you burn fat and build muscle. Lift heavy things: Muscle is more metabolically active than fat. Building muscle can help increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories each day, even at rest. Lifting weights can also help you retain muscle and counter the drop in metabolism that can occur during weight loss. Stand up more: Sitting too much can have negative effects on your health, partly because long periods of sitting burn fewer calories and can lead to weight gain. 6 Arm Stretches to Ease Sore Muscles in 2023 Pat on the back: Hold for 20 seconds and repeat two to three times.
