Put On Your Walking Shoes  

I have some mobility issues, so I rise public transportation more than I walk. I walk around the mall quite a bit, but that's mainly because there is ap lace to sit when I need one. Otherwise, I only really walk when I need to.

yeah walking helps a lot to lose wieght but dont eat too much after walking just drink water and eat a bit.

Yes walking is brilliant way to excercise and lose weight.I try to go somewhere most days where I walk even it it is round the supermarket as that counts, we spend a good half hour walking around the supermarket time yourself,we are very fortunate where we are lots of lovely walks through wonderful countryside and we can cover miles and we often do, it is the freedom and fresh air it is such a stress release.If I go into town I walk past two bus stops which is about half a mile and they the walk round town for an hour is marvellous excercise,and walking round the shops it does not feel like you have been walking for an hour until your legs start aching.Then when I get home I know I have a good half mile walk home ,make sure I do not have to many heavy bags.My garden is 200 yards from end to end so all I have to do is walk up and down about ten times and I have done over a mile as 1,760 yards to a mile roughly so I am lucky even if I have not got much time or am expecting a vistor I can still do a few laps of the garden.

I used to walk alot me and hubby long time ago.
Dont kinow thatt hat is what kept me sort of slim I tell ya dancing did the most for me.
The twist really good for the waist line lol now I dont walk every day but do manage to get around the block and we have a big block By the time i get back my hip and knee is killing me but I do it any way.

hey cdw,
I used to love to walk the track at the local middle school-I knew four laps equaled one mile so i could average out how much I was getting accomplished & though it may not sound like much I was up to twelve laps just about everyday when I had to quit. I've gotten back out a couple times but when i do i only get in maybe three to four laps. Walking never really affected my weight but it made my legs & booty tight lol

That's a great goal! I've been meaning to start exercising, but always put it off. I'm such a lazy bum. If my apartment complex had a gym I would be going there everyday. I think I'm going to start exercising more after I finish my final exams for school.

I have a cold right now, so cannot do that much walking except around the house, but when I can get outside, I will walk about a mile a day. I also am recuperating from surgery so cannot do that much for a couple of weeks other then light stuff. I plan to get a pedometer as soon as I have enough Shoppers Drugmart points to get one for free. It has not helped me lose weight (am borderline diabetic) but it has made me for fit.
