Walking: Lose Weight and Improve Your Health

,

It's easy!  One of the safest exercises you can do, walking often doesn't require special skills or training like a sport or gym workout might. It doesn't require prior training or conditioning and doesn't involve a great deal of physical exertion in the beginning.  Studies have even shown that due to the design of our body, walking is more natural than sitting, standing or running, and walking is not as stressful to the body as other exercises. Want to get started?  A good pair of walking shoes, comfortable clothing, a pedometer, and you're all set!  Don't forget a bottle of water to stay hydrated!

When you enroll in a Medical Weight Loss Clinic program, the length of your program will be determined by you and the staff based on the amount of weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Your actual weight loss will be determined by many factors, including, but not limited to: your medical circumstances, the plan you choose, adherence to the meal plan and use of nutritional supplements. Your goal and program duration information will be given to you in writing at the time of enrollment. As your program progresses, the rate you lose weight may change and you will have the opportunity to discuss this at every daily visit with your weight loss consultant, where changes to your meal plan and/or program can be made.
