Regular walking can increase one’s metabolism and decrease the waistline, especially if there is anuphill component or some other exercises (like activity on-the-job in blue-collar occupations or like weight training) happening. The decrease in waistline with little or no decrease in body weight comes from a combination of burning fat with a stimulation of muscle tone, both caused by the exercise. The total number of muscle vs. fat cells doesn’t change…just the size of the cells. Walking and exercise tells the muscle cells to be active while eating up the stores in the fat cells. Measure your results by clothing fit and not by actual body weight. Doing exercise, it’s possible to drop more than one size in clothing while staying the same scale weight because muscle is quite a bit denser than fat tissue. Those who restrict their diet at extreme levels may lose actual weight. This is not healthy unless you’re already pretty well-trained at walking along with resistance exercise or are being advised by a trainer or nutritionist. Focus on eating 4-6 small meals/day with plenty of veggies and protein from chicken/fish; getting plenty of sleep; and being regular with the exercise.After a couple of months, the waist size will go down.Enjoy the trail and any hills that you may encounter!
