How many minutes you walk to stay fit?

This is definitely a very good topic. I love to walk and gain a sense of satisfaction after my walk each time. Not only do I manage to feel very healthy, I also feel that my chest feels very light-headed and the air is so nice to breathe. Walking is one of the best and relaxing way ever to exercise.

I just get up by 5.45 AM and go for a walk for 35 minutes daily.Seven days a week.It is doing me a lot of good.I do not have a pot belly.My flexibility has improved.I don't complain of aches in the other parts of the body.And I make it a point not to use the elevator and only the steps to climb up and down.My apartment is in the third floor.

Well, I do try to do some walking as often as I can. I find it harder to do when I am outside compared to walking a mall, etc. due to Health reasons, and our very unpredictable weather here but I do try to walk every day if I can. But what a lot of people also need to remember in order to make it worth while you need to also cut back your calories and the type of stuff you might choose to eat as well. Because without doing this as well, you might never see any results.

I don't use pedometer too! And I don't really keep track of how much I walk. Sometimes I take walks for 1 hour and sometimes I would walk for around 20 minutes. It all depends on how the day goes. I recently read a magazine that walking for 1 hour would help maintain fitness and beautify the skin *smiles* and I think I will try to walk 1 hour per day from now on *smiles*.

Hello comfort55, I usually walk for 30 minutes, but if I have enough energy, I can walk for 45 minutes.

I try to walk at least 1/2 an hour on the wekends, sometimes for an hour if I can stay long enough at the park, my kids go and play and I walk, I have tried to do this everyday, but with kids in school and all my running around for my family members, time doesn't allow me to do this, so we all go on the weekends and enjoy the outdoors and also we do alot of hiking for my daughters GScout troop, so that helps as well. we love it and it gets us outdoors to spend time together.

i am not much into taking walks as i have this balance problem but i think i do enough of walking in the house but i donot use a pedometer.there are lots of exercies which i do like running after the kids.

I have been using my treadmill. I try to walk for at least 15 minutes starting out. I want to work out for at least 30-45 minutes once I get my body prepared for it.

i love taking walks :) i usually walk home from the train station when going home instead of riding the lrt or bus which stops right in front of our building. It's just about 20 mins away thats why i feel that taking public transport is a waste of money (unless if it is raining or if i have groceries) when i was a student, i joined a group called walking for fitness. we walked around for an hour. it was really good workout :) i used to have a pedometer with me but i think i dropped it during one of my walks :(

People should walk 20minutes EVERYDAY. And the speed should be enough to increase your heartrate. Leisure walking is good, but not as good as really walking for walking. I jog as often as I could, at least 20 minutes twice a week and make sure that I walk enough everyday from wherever to wherever - even if I have to go to the nearest convenient store and buy myself a candy, I'd use it as an excuse :)

I love to walk. I have never really used a pedometer to measure how many footsteps I walk each day. I try to walk everywhere I can. I usually walk at least one mile a day at a fairly brisk pace.

I walk my dog Bella five times per day for 45 minutes to an hour. In the evening I will sometimes put her on her tie out to allow her to play and romp then lay on a blanket with me in the yard since I live in a complex she doesn't get to have free reign. I walk a lot for the purpose of keeping my knees from being painful from osteoarthritis and I'v also had major surgeries on both. I've had a total knee replacement on my right knee and a revision. On the left knee I've had two arthroscopic procedures and torn cartilage removed. It's really important for me to walk and my dog absolutely loves getting out to walk. Our last walk is late at night but she usually just goes out to chase the bugs that hang out under the lampposts while I'm walking. I'm wondering how many calories I'm burning since I walk her so often and I walk up to an hour at a time, sometimes it takes her that long to take care of her business because she's sociable loves to stop and be petted by the children in the complex or try to chase the squirrels. Since she's on her leash she doesn't go far but she can dream! Would anyone out here know how to calculate the caloric burn to walk ratio? If you do let me know please. I walk my dog every single day, seven days per week...she doesn't take days off lol, nor do I because I have to lose weight too so that I can wear an evening gown to walk my Daughter down the aisle of her Wedding to marry the Man of Her Dreams, her Soon to Be Husband!!! I have many good reasons to walk and lose weight, now I just need to find out all the stats.
