    Back in college I did interval walking/running. 4 minute walking, 2 minute running/jogging... those intervals for 30-45 minutes to start. As your body adjusts, you can start adding in inclines and time.

    Though, I should probably take my own advice, my college self is yelling at me from 2009.

    Do you do this every day or just 3-4 times per week?

    I walk up and down a very muddy hill twice a day in heavy wellies which takes about 90 mins per day of walking. Often in the rain. Always with my dog. I'm losing weight. I can't run due to back issues and can't do anything other than swimming which I hate. I like to think balancing in the mud strengthens my core and the heavy boots are like a weights session on my legs (!) I realise this is not exactly exercise though!

    in 2010/2011 I lost alot of weight just using treadmill maybe my first 20 pounds....but I didnt like the outcome I was flat! I suggest you use it at some type of incline at all times!

    It is possible and is a good form of exercise as it works some of the larger muscles however, once you get closer to your goal I would suggest incorporating some other exercises to improve your appearance ideally resistance exercises.

    I agree. Walking for a while to build up your stamina, but then I found I needed to do intervals (alternating slow & fast) to see weight come off.
