5 Ways Walking Helped This Guy Get Down to 10 Percent Body Fat – menshealth.com

Following videos in which he has sung the praises of walking as a helpful way to lose weight and even overcome a muscle-building plateau, YouTuber Mario Tomic just shared another post in which he breaks down five reasons he believes walking every day has been a crucial tool in maintaining his lean physique and getting down to 10 percent body fat.

One benefit to walking every day was that it made it easier for him to stay in a calorie deficit, i.e. burning more calories than he was consuming, even with a higher food intake. "When you eat more food you're less hungry, your training performance is better... it just makes everything a lot easier," he says.

"Most people don't realize that as you're getting down to 10 percent body fat, as you're getting to a lower calorie intake, you have to eat lots of low calorie density foods to fill up," he says. "Lots of vegetables, plants, fiber, and you have to deal with that bloating... By walking more, I've noticed it's really helped me digest better."

"If you're sleep-deprived, you're a lot hungrier, you're feeling less full when you eat meals, your cravings are through the roof, you're just making poor decisions," says Tomic, explaining that one of the reasons he originally incorporated a long walk into his evening routine was to tire himself out so that he could sleep better.

Tomic says running helps him recover better between training sessions, and keep up his performance in the gym. "You can even build some muscle; walking helps a ton."

"I personally find walks very relaxing, it's almost like a form of meditation for me," says Tomic. "It really helps me with water retention, as well, especially when I'm stressed out; higher cortisol, more water retention... By walking more and being more relaxed overall, you're able to see progress a bit more linearly, and a bit more predictable, and overall you're having a much more sustainable approach."
