Brisk walk Succes Stories (pics pls)

In August, I started walking at least 5 days/week, covering 2 miles in 30 minutes. I also do 50 pushups each day, and some plank exercises for core strength. I think this is possibly the laziest workout ever, but I hate strength training and situps, and running hurts my knees, and I can get it all done in 45 minutes in the morning, and its working for me. Coupled with 5:2, I've lost 17 lbs, and definitely have more muscle definition in my legs, arms, and stomach. I know I'll never be super toned, but I don't really care. This is the longest I've ever stuck with a workout plan, and I don't hate doing it. I actually look forward to my walks so much that I frequently walk 7 days a week, up to 6 miles at a time. I have more energy, and feel better about myself. What more can you really ask for?

Oh - and my bra size has changed. I went from a 38C to a 36D. So my chest got smaller and my breasts got bigger? I guess those pushups are making my boobie-muscles big. hahah! I faintly remember our high school health teacher telling us those things didn't have any muscles in them!

I didn't only walk, but walking has been my main source of exercise since February. I have lost 41 lbs since January. From February to May I walked in snow (I live in Northern Canada), burning on average 200 more cals then walking on gravel. I also hike and attend boot camp twice a week. From June to the end of August I done a Learn 2 Run program, and was running 5k 4 times week. I walk about 6-7 times a week for at least an hour briskly. I have went from a size 12-14 jeans to a size 4-6 since February. No one will ever convince me walking isn't adequate exercise for weight loss. I plan to start strength training very soon.

I started walking last month and I've lost almost 20 lbs since. I didn't even start briskly and am just now getting to where my legs don't hate me while doing it. I get about 5 miles a day after you add up all my steps, but in the evenings I walk about 2 miles in 30 to 45 min (depends on if my dogs come with me or not). Last night I decided to start training for the couch to 5k thing, and I think I'm really going to LOVE running.

But walking works just fine for weight loss too! My legs are getting super toned and it's only been a month.

I walk 75 minutes ( 5 miles ) five or six days a week. It has worked for me. I have lost nearly 80 pounds with calorie deficit and walking. I love walking and walking loves me. No matter what anyone else says, find what works for you and stick with it.

Bump!

I started my journey August 3rd by counting calories and walking. I do 5 miles in about 75 minutes at least 5 times per week, sometimes 6. Up until recently that is all the exercise I would do. I have added in boot camp once a week on Saturdays, and a few times per week I add some walk/run intervals. I am by no means a runner, but am trying to boost that calorie burn. I have lost 22 lbs, so yes brisk walking is effective!! It also gives you so much more energy to tackle your day!!

I flew to another state for business last month and used public transport so I was walking and climbing stairs etc. 7 days a week for maybe an hour a day. I lost 9lbs.
