Study Reveals Optimal Walking Speed for Doubling Fat Loss

A recent study published in the journal Nutrients suggests that postmenopausal women can double their fat loss by walking at a slower pace of 3.2 miles per hour compared to faster walking speeds. The study followed 25 women over 15 to 30 weeks, finding that those who walked slower lost 2.73 times more fat than those who walked faster. The researchers theorize that slower walking may promote fat burning over glucose usage, though more research is needed to confirm this. Incorporating regular walking routines can help increase daily activity and support weight loss.
