WALK IT OFF......FAT THAT IS!

 

How Walking Can Get You to 10% Body Fat

Nutrition guru Mario Tomic has championed the power of walking as an effective route to reaching that sought-after 10% body fat level. A devoted health enthusiast, Mario credits walking as the ideal cardio exercise for achieving leanness, thanks to its accessibility, ease of integration into daily life, and calorie-burning ability over time. 

But walking alone won't get you all the way there. Mario stresses the synergistic combination of walking, smart nutrition choices, and resistance training for optimized results. Proper nutrition, wielding the most power in fueling fat loss, centers on maintaining a caloric deficit while eating plenty of protein. Resistance training acts as the sculptor, shaping and hardening muscle to complement melted fat.  

According to Mario, shooting for between 10,000 and 15,000 steps per day, coupled with the calories burned from those steps, is the sweet spot. But it's not just about total calories. Mario cautions to pay attention to net calories expended once exercise calorie burn tapers off as you become more fit. This often-overlooked detail can stall progress if your body adjusts but your eating habits don't. 

With this consistent walking regimen as his main cardio agent, Mario has noticeably shed fat without having to severely slash his caloric intake as drastically as before. Thanks to the steps, he maintains a sustainable intake above 2,000 calories while continuing to melt fat through elevated calorie burn.

The final piece of Mario's trifecta is vigilance against letting daily walking substitute for or overshadow the importance of the pre-workout weight training sessions that are crucial for burning extra calories and building that 10% body fat-shredding muscle. It's all about finding the right equilibrium between sufficient walking, proper nutrition, and maintaining workout intensity.

The moral: you simply cannot outrun a bad diet through cardio alone. It takes a three-pronged attack blending cardio, diet, and strength training to reach the 10% body fat pot of gold.
