The Power Of Walking

Walking is one of the very best things you can do as a competitive wrestler. One thing that drives me insane is when coaches say you have to run to lose weight. Now, this can be true in the short term if you are 2 hours from weigh ins to stimulate sweat production, but outside of that time constraint, walking is far the superior. Walking is low intensity cardio thus your body uses fat as the primary fuel source to fuel it. If you are somebody trying to go down weight classes this can be such an ultimate tool. Instead of running four miles you can just walk for 20 minutes after each meal and you have just burned the same amount of calories. Not only that if you walk after you eat it aids and digestion and helps the absorption process in your body. It gets you body used to doing it as well because after weigh ins you will be doing the same.

So long story short, walk!
