walking for weight loss

[FelixTeller]

Hi everyone I see mix opinions on this topic, some people say it's a waste of time and other say it helps to burn calories as running , in my case I'm a obese person o you think walking for about two hours can help?

oh yeah absolutely it will help

you will burn probably 120-150 calories per mile walking as a fat person.

just make sure you don't go to chikfilA or subway after and get a 1000 calorie meal. your diet is going to be very important

Power walking or hill walking/rambling is pretty good. Although I don't rush about I do enjoy hill walking. One, Pen-y-fan, is 2906ft high. Amazing views from the top

Any form of movement burns calories. It all adds up. You won't burn a huge amount of calories walking but a little bit here and a little bit there all makes a big difference in the long run.

It's kind of like a retirement savings plan. You might only donate 5 dollars a day, but do that for 10 years and you have a very impressive retirement plan.

Absolutely it will help. The easiest way to lose weight though is by adjusting diet. It is a much easier task to cut 500 calories from your food intake than to exercise for a few hours hard to burn that many.

In the end anything that gets your heart rate up and has you active is cardio and helps. Great job for getting moving. That is better than most people who are just sitting at home all night.
