Is walking enough?

Hi everybody!

I've been wondering if you can get fit by walking only. I know you can lose weight and not exercise at all, but I don't want to just end up being "skinny fat", I want my body to have a nice shape.

Because I don't really like exercising and I don't have much time throughout the day and the weather is lovely right now, I was thinking about just walking and not doing any other exercising whatsoever.

Is walking going to be enough for what I want?

    No. Walking is good and will make you fitter, but you need a more rounded plan to achieve your goals.

    BTW, I started the day with strength training. I've walked 5.01 miles so far today and I'm going to see how many more I can get in. I'm not sure about tonight. It's a toss up between cycling and getting a haircut.

    Walking is a great way to tone up and help lose weight. I'm not able to run bc of how hard it is on my knees so I do a lot of walking and I've been able to lose 7 lbs so far. I also lift some weights and occasionally do the elliptical but walking is great in my opinion!
