Longer Exercise for Weight Loss

Source: UPI

Summary:

Overweight cardiac rehab patients walked either 45-60 minutes 5-6 days a week at a moderate pace or 25-40 minutes 3 times a week at a brisk pace

Longer, slower group had double the weight loss and more fat loss than the shorter distance, faster group following standard rehab therapy, per article in Circulation

Calories expended weekly in exercise, 3000-3500 vs 700-800, seems to account for greater success of those walking longer and more frequently, but slower

Conclusion: Walking longer and burning more calories aids weight loss and improved heart health
