Reduce your weight if you walk for 10 minutes Morning and evening ??
you should take a 6-minute break every hour if you want to lose weight.
The answer to this question lies in following study undertaken
Most of the people who have a 10 to 6 job end up sitting for long hours in front of a computer screen . Whether you are working as an IT professional or as a receptionist, you spend most of the time sitting on a chair.
This regular behaviour of ours not only puts us at a high risk of lifestyle diseases like diabetes and hypertension and many more like stress diseases but also makes us obese.
This shows that every hour you spend sitting at your workplace or house, you are putting on weight, which ultimately makes you overweight and obese.
However, you can break this vicious cycle of sitting for long hours and gaining weight with a simple tip.
All you have to do is get up from your chair every hour and walk for 5 minutes.making small changes such as taking a five-minute walking to different desk or to bathroom .This break every hour could yield beneficial weight control or weight loss results.
The study demonstrated that for an individual who worked 50 weeks a year, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day and has a desk job, standing up and walking five minutes per hour during every work day, would equate to approximately 33,000 additional kilocalories expended per year.
With no diet changes or any other form of exercise or physical activity to increase metabolism taken into consideration, this could result in 9.4 lbs of body weight
(assuming 3500 kcals/pound). Hence, if your job profile includes sitting for 8 hours at a stretch with a lunch break in between, ensure you take a 5-minute break which can help you to lose weight.
