Answer 1

Figure 100 calories per mile walked versus 3500 per pound of fat.

Answer 2

Theoretically you can lose weight without exercising if you lower calories enough, but not too much. If you just want to walk, my guess is maybe 18-24 miles a week. Walk every 6 days 3-4 miles and rest on one day.

Answer 3

hey walking is fine, but in order to see results, speed walk or jogging.

Crunches and a sit ups go a long way as well, I do atleast 200 sit ups a day, 100 in the morning and 100 at night

Answer 4

4 miles

Answer 5

I usually walk for 20-30 mins one way, then run back the other way....great excerice here...



I live next to a Bike/Walking/Jogging Trail....its great

Answer 6

if its walking...i guess an hour a day.....

if its jogging....30 min a day.....

but u may wanna get one of the, sweat rubber suits, put it on and run or jog for like a mile or so, then rest for another and jog for another....back and forth, until u really feel tired...

Answer 7

i don't think walking is a very good exercise bc it takes awhile for your body to realize what our tryign to do. choose a more intense cardio if you can.
