WALKING!: It's great excercise NOT wussy excercise!

Walking is GREAT!!!! Love going outside or doing the Walk Away The Pounds videos!

Walking is my main thing to i try for 4 miles a day at 4 mphs or more some days when im bored i can get 12 to 14....I dont like the gym YET! and ive lost 30 pounds in 3 months

I began walking as my first exercise. I was only 30 pounds overweight, but was so out of shape that walking was the best starting point. I loved it! It was so enjoyable to be outside and burning calories. As I increased the distance I walked and began to lose weight, I started wondering what else I was capable of. I decided to start alternating between walking and jogging - it would increase the cardio benefits. The first time I tried jogging, I only made it half of a mile. The next day I made it three fourths. By the end of the week, I was able to run a full mile!

I kept running because it made me feel so strong and successful. Eventually I ran my first 10k. All because I decided to start going outside and walking.

Been walking almost every day since I started, at least 50 minutes a day. Wouldn't dream of stopping and will likely continue to walk after I reach goal. It's an awesome way to begin the journey and an awesome way to continue it. It can be relaxing at the end of a rough day, but it's a kick *kitten* workout any time of day when you power walk. LOVE IT!

I started mfp 226 days ago and I lost 36 lbs and it was maiinly from exrcising,I started walking 20 minutes a day in my huge office at work then I moved onto 30 minutes 2x's a day now Im doing workout dvd's when I get home from work,Im toning and feeling great,right now im on week 4 day 1 of c25k! I eat what i want but never go over in calories! I also eat the majority of my calories that i burn, being that i had 40 lbs to lose i wasnt worried about getting the weight off overnite! I still have 4 lbs to go but i think im gonna try for 10 more! Just keep on moving and challenging yourself you' ll be surprised the strength you gain and the things you can accomplish! Now I can say im addicted to exercise! I feel guilty if i only do a 30 min walk!and thats not too often! Walk walk walk do biggest loser power walk or leslie sansone if you cant make it outdoors! Best wishes and set ur mind!!!

I walk a minimum of 30 minutes each day, but mostly an hour and a half to two hours generally. I do also do my treadmill for 30 minutes each morning and throw in some elliptical several times per week. I also hit the gym a couple times per week, doing various machines and weights there.

I like walking quite fast and it seems as if I have the right kind of music that I go even faster!

I always have time for a walk and i can fit it in anywhere any time. I park far from the store when i go in or in the back of the parking lot at work. It works

I love walking, though I do it primarily on the treadmill, since walking outside with 2 young kids at a constant pace is rather difficult, lol. my oldest is way too big for a stroller. Anyways, I love walking, I walk at 4.0 for at least 45 minutes, all uphill, besides my warm-up/cool down. I am going to start incorporating more strength though, I want my upper body muscles back. :-)

I do leslie sanones 5mile dvd every night and have lost 22lbs on it so far. )
Its more like aerobics but its amazing!
There is also a resistance band that comes with it that works out your arms as well.

When I started using my fitness pal I began with mostly walking. I was able to run (slowly for a long time) but preferred walking because it was less impact. It seemed to work pretty well in building my stamina. I walked 45-60 minutes everyday until that became 'boring' then moved onto trying out the 30 day shred, I realized I wanted to build muscle. It was a huge change at first but I got use to it. I now rotate between running and using my apt gym elliptical and add in 30 day shred every other day that way I can tone.
