Here's the weight loss plan you can follow: Phase 1: Obese / Just starting out 4,000 steps/day If you’re carrying extra weight, your joints and tendons are already under more stress. Starting with high step counts can lead to: • Knee pain • Shin splints • Excessive fatigue • Poor adherence Focus on consistency first. Let your body adapt. Phase 2: Building your base 8,000 steps/day and one zone two session/week Your body is adapting, your stamina is improving, and your recovery is better. Add one easy zone two cardio session per week. Comfortable pace. Not breathless. Not extreme. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anjali Sachan (@_anjali_sachan_) Phase 3: Noticeably fitter 10,000 to 12,000 steps/day and two zone two sessions/week Now, higher activity levels make sense. Your recovery capacity has improved, your joints are stronger, and your body can handle more volume. Phase 4: Accelerating fat loss 15,000 steps/day and two to three zone two sessions/week This is where fat loss can speed up. But keep an eye on recovery. If gym performance starts to drop, reduce cardio before reducing food intake. Phase 5: Leaner than ever 20,000 steps/day and two to three zone two sessions/week Higher output can produce faster results. But it only works because you build up to it gradually over months, not overnight. Cardio simply helps you burn more energy and makes maintaining that deficit easier. (Pexel)Tips to remember
Here are a few things you need to remember about weight loss: Cardio does not cause fat loss by itself. A calorie deficit is what drives fat loss. Cardio simply helps you burn more energy and makes maintaining that deficit easier.
