Who walks as their only form of exercise?

Just from walking, down 46lbs. I am now 174 from 221. I also walk by tennis courts frequently so I started taking tennis lessons. I walked by the softball field, so I joined another team. Sometimes I run because I feel like it. You'll notice as your energy increases, you'll want to do more.

By the way, I really hate running. I sometimes see others hating running also, while they're running. And I smile to myself because I know how much I've lost doing an exercise that brings me joy and not pain.

I started upping my walking and alternating jogging a few weeks ago, and it's been amazing how quickly my energy levels have risen. I've always kind of rolled my eyes at "sporty people" (I've got some father issues there), but I've got to admit that the endorphin rewards are real. Not getting sweaty during shorter walks is quite nice as well. Or getting out of breath climbing a flight of stairs. Woo!

Me.. I only walk. About 20-25 minutes during my lunch break at work Mon-Fri and then 4 night a week after dinner 30-40 minutes. I've lost 26lb doing this plus counting calories.

That being said (and this is especially true for newer people) the best form of exercise is the one you do consistently. If that is walking, then by all means keep doing it. You can always switch things up later.

Walking is my exercise. I try to do two miles each day..one on treadmill and one outside. Then hopefully I get another in in steps cleaning house, working, or whatever. Eating at a deficit and walking is how I lost.

Walking and running have been my only two forms of exercise the last 2 months. It's been working but who knows if it'll continue to work or if i'll "plataeu".
