If your trousers are starting to feel a little too tight around the middle, there’s a simple exercise you can do just once a week that could get you a trimmer waist.
Just one brisk walk of around 75 minutes every week could be all it takes to give you a flatter stomach, researchers from the University of Hong Kong have found.
The exercise also improves the cardiovascular system.
If exercising just once a week sounds too good to be true, the researchers found that it was just as effective as doing it three times a week.
They put 315 people with big waists through their paces; for four months, some did a brisk, 75-minute interval walk—where they occasionally rested—while others did the same exercise but spread it across three days. A third group did no exercise.
Both exercise groups lost similar amounts of body fat, even though one was exercising three times a week.
So, exercising doesn’t have to be a chore—being a ‘weekend warrior’ could be all that’s needed to start losing the pounds.
