Walking To Lose Weight

when i started all i did was walk an hour a day and stayed in my calories and the weight came off.

So I heard that you had to walk at a fast pace for over 45 min. at least everyday . That I should walk before breakfast , so it uses my calories as fuel , instead of my fat ? And that I should walk after dinner , to help promote weight loss . So if I walked 1 full hour when I wake , and 1 hour after I sleep . 2 hours of walking at 3.0-3.5 mph ... Is this going to help me lose any weight ? Or should my workout be more intense , because I just started working out last week . I started with 20min . now I can walk to 45 min . and more .

As long as you are in a weight loss diet plan than absolutely this can benefit weight loss as well as keep you in shape and healthy. If you want to work out harder than that just means you will burn off more calories in a faster period of time. Do what you're comfortable with or enjoy, as this will keep you motivated to keep it up.

Yes, walking will definitely help you lose weight. Beginning of April last year I adopted a dog and started walking him every day. Only 1 good walk a day, generally 45 minutes to 1 hour but sometimes longer. I went from 300-ish lbs to 275-280 lbs over the course of 6 months without really do much of anything about my bad diet at the time.

If you're not used to exercising or at least higher impact exercises (running), walking longer distances will help your ligaments, tendons and cartilage in your joints toughen up. That will help prevent injuries that can happen if you just jump off the couch and try to do distance running.

Great job and great goals!!! When you get bored with walking try something else like heavy lifting...you will definately see results...key is not to become bored with your work out and not to let your body get comfortable with the same ol same ol routine...the body will get used to this...then weight loss will slow down....This is what has worked for me!:glasses:
