walking

In my opinion walking is the BEST exercise there is. Walking utilizes core and stabilizing muscles more than running does -- and your heart rate stays in a fat burning mode instead of a true "cardio" mode.

Ive lost 25 pounds in 6 weeks via light resistance training, walking about 3 miles a day, and moderating calorie intake.

I think that no matter how many fancy programs and equipment come out walking will always be at the top of the list of best workouts! You burn lots of calories, work your entire body, and most importantly you have fun so you'll keep doing it! If walking is all you're doing, though, you might want to add variety like finding hills so that you get the extra uphill workout. You could also wear weighted gloves (or just carry some light weights) to get an extra arm workout out of it as well!

Walking is great - and the best part is, it doesn't cost much - maybe some new walking shoes every so often, but sure beats a gym membership!! And another benefit I find, is that walking is such a stress reliever!! I've lost 41lbs since Nov 18, 2010 and walking is 95% of my exercise routine! I think I do need to start some weight training to tone up areas that I've lost fat in, but otherwise walking is my exercise of choice!!!

I love walking. Four years ago I walked in the Komen 3 Day 60 mile walk and have done it every year since. I just started training for this years walk.
