I am 50 years old. I weigh 82kg and height is 5.6. How much time should I dedicate for walking? Actually my weight was105kg.By walking I have shed lot weight. What should be the approximate weight for my age?

Ans: Thank you for your question. It's nice to hear about your weight loss journey through walking! Walking is indeed a great start, but that it's essential to consider other factors like calorie intake and exercise intensity for optimal health. For your age and weight, incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) along with a balanced diet might help further in achieving your fitness goals. As for your target weight, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional or a nutritionist who can provide personalized guidance based on your overall health, body composition, and lifestyle factors. However, a healthy weight range can vary greatly depending on factors such as muscle mass, bone density, and overall body composition, so it's not solely determined by age alone. Keep up the good work with your fitness efforts, and consider incorporating a variety of exercises and dietary adjustments for long-term health benefits!
