Hello! Brisk walking can help with weight loss. It is an aerobic exercise that burns excess energy and fat in the body, thereby promoting weight reduction. During brisk walking, your body generates heat, which helps burn fat and contributes to weight loss. However, walking for only a short duration each day will not yield noticeable weight-loss results. We recommend increasing your walking time to at least one hour daily to achieve more significant weight-loss benefits.
