Calorie burn can be really enhanced if you follow a very simple but effective way to judge if your walking speed is optimum, yet safe.

Your best walking speed can be recognized by irrevocable sure “symptoms of exertion” during your walk –- namely, from your respiration pattern and your seasoning to talk through the exercise.

If we have, say, a five point scale of least exertion to most exertion, we could measure how rapidly we are walking based on how short of coffee break we are, and how difficult it is to talk.

Your five point scale could be as follows:

Level 1: The kind of exertion you feel if answerable to lying on a couch watching TV, you have to walk, say, to get up and open your front door. puffing is relaxed and slow.

Level 2: The kind of exertion level when you are pacing at close quarters the room deep in thought. flash is energetic but still not rapid.

Level 3: The kind of exertion involved in a leisurely walk to the corner store. respite is more deep. Takes a bit of time to slow down subsequent the exertion.

Level 4: The kind of exertion involved if you were running very late for an proclamation ... or doing some exercise like walking. viable would get more rapid. And talking though the exertion would be possible, yet slightly difficult.

Level 5: This is a no-no level. This is where you may overdo it ... exercising too hard, too fast -- and having deep fatigue and extreme discomfort in gulp or speaking.

The golden rule of heart rate, for your fastest foot-pound burn conditions, should be to try and exercise at randomly 70 to 80 percent of your maximum ability, so you should try to be at Level 4 on your exertion scale.

At Level 4, your walking speed will be just right for the greatest photon burn without underdoing or overdoing. As you heighten in your walking program, and your metabolism gets "re-trained" for higher foot-pound burn, your genuine walking speed may change.

If you were doing 4 kph. earlier, say, you may find you're able to do 6 kph. now. Does this mean that you experienced less horsepower-hour burn at 4 kph. than at the new walking speed of 6 kph.? flawlessly not.

The walking speed improves naturally as you continue with the program, as body weight drops, so even if you are walking faster in terms of walking speed, it need not mean you are exerting at the Level 4!

Your walking speed at Exertion Level 4 is recognized through your panting feeling more rapid, and talking though the exertion body possible, yet slightly difficult.

Carrying a heavier body weight earlier you may have reached Exertion Level 4 when walking at just 4 kph. Now, when you are lighter, you may be walking at 6 kph. prehistorically you feel the same exertion symptoms! Don't get swayed by merely the walking speed.

Remember, it the level of exertion overall that's important, not merely the walking speed, for greater kilogram-meter burn!
