How long do I need to walk to lose weight in one day?

Walking continuously for 30 minutes or more is best for fat burning and weight loss. The pace of the walk also matters, so a brisk pace of walking is best suited for weight loss.

Walking most days of the week for at least 30 minutes burns an extra 1,000 to 3,000 calories per week and helps improve the metabolism. A walking workout of 30 to 60 minutes at 50 to 70 percent of maximum heart rate is recommended for walking for weight loss. The target heart rate varies by age, but a Target Heart Rate Calculator can help an individual find the right heart rate. Walking for weight loss is a gradual process that must be worked up over time to safely reach and establish optimal weight loss walking pace.
