    I think it's "enough." I walked almost 30 miles last month, and am hoping for 35 this month. I lost 9 pounds in May & 12 pounds in April with 80/20 dieting and mainly walking... I did do some other stuff (weight & wii fit), but it was mostly walking. I am hoping (once a LOT of this weight comes off) that I'll be jogging... then running..... Lolz.

    Walking is good, as it's low impact. I sort of like running/jogging but the impact makes everything rattle and ache.

    I'm out of practice recently but I generally go hiking every Sunday in the Peak District. It's beautiful, challenging and exciting. You can also incorporate scrambling which is a definite work out and exhilarating. You can utilise over 1,000 calories on a 6hr hike in the hills. Getting out in nature is also (pardon the cliche) good for the soul :)

    Win win all round I'd say.
