    ive heard it does.. and tucking your belly in n sticking your *kitten* out and a straight back helps too with muscles.. im going to be adding fat burning walks to my already busy regime :) 45mins each morning on an empty stomache.. this will cause your body to work harder and i will dip into your stored fattie cells and burn at it.

    Thanks :) Sounds like you're really going for it. Good on you! I'm very motivated as well. I diet, do yoga, and I want to do some cardio to burn fat. Power walking with my dog is therefore an alternative. I want to lose another 18 kg (aprox 40 lb.)

    It's pretty much what I do. :smile:
    I try to make sure my speed is no less than 3.5 mph (that's around 5.63 in kilometers). I do it about an hour at a time. I try to keep my stomach in and my posture up. I've lost 30 lbs doing this since March along with a 1,400 calories or less diet.
