From what my physician has told me, it doesn't matter how you squeeze it in, it just matters that you do it at all.
I think if you are working out an hour a day...you are far ahead of most people. :)

Well you didn't state why you were doing the walking. For weight loss I would recommened in the morning on an empty stomach. For cardio yea 2 - 30 minute walks are fine as long as your heart rate is where it should be, but for fat loss rule of thumb that you should remember is that it takes the body 20 minutes to get into the fat burning zone. So a 1 hour walk in the morning is much better than 2- 30 minute walks for fat loss.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Because walking is not very strenuous, I don't think it matters much when you do it. I'd go early in the morning though, because it's cooler then. Late in the afternoon is another option, but that's not as cool as in the morning.

Either way is fine. I like to do my walking by breaking it up. What it will do is to boost your metabolism more than one time each day and after you are finished walking it takes your metabolism a while to slow down again.

In terms of calories used, it probably doesn't matter.
but in terms of aerobic fitness and heart health, a one hour exercise regimen in is better than two 30 minute ones.

It doesn't matter unless you're training for some sort of competition.
For weight loss or general fitness it makes little or no difference.

i think that as long as you are doing enough for at least 15min straight, and get your heart rate going you're good...i would do the breakdown...
