The Real Key to Sustainable Fat Loss
Fat loss isn’t about annihilating yourself with the hardest workout possible. It’s about choosing a strategy you can repeat day after day. One of the simplest—and most effective—tools I use is a 20–40 minute walk most mornings, or whenever I can fit it in, especially after meals. High-intensity workouts do burn calories, but they also drain your willpower. That’s why most people go all-in for a few days… then burn out. Short, easy walks barely tax your motivation. You don’t have to psych yourself up to do them. And because they’re easy to repeat, they add up fast. Do the math: 3 intense workouts per week × 4 weeks = 12 sessions a month A 30-minute walk every day = 15 hours of fat-mobilizing movement per month (even more effective when done fasted). Walking wins not because it’s harder—but because it actually happens consistently. Beyond fat loss, daily walking also: - Keeps cortisol lower compared to early-morning HIIT - Supports fat usage in a fasted state instead of relying on sugar - Pairs perfectly with sunlight, fresh air, mindfulness, or grounding This doesn’t mean you should avoid training. Lift heavy. Train hard. Sprint once or twice a week. Just anchor your fat loss to habits you can sustain long term. Each morning is an opportunity to move your body and get steps in. That ability is a gift. Use it, don’t take it for granted, and let consistency do what intensity alone never could
