Answer 1

if you are continuously walking (not just walking back and forth at a job-normal routine) you might. you have to make sure that you are burning MORE calories than what you take in.

If you have been sedentary, then slow walking is better than NO walking!

Answer 2

It depends on the type of person because weight loss varies from one person to the next. You should regularly intensify your routine in order to burn the weight continuously, like walking for a longer period of time, or jogging instead of slow walking. The reason for this is because your metabolism adjusts itself to store and use energy, the way you eat and burn everyday. If you keep to the same routine for a long time, chances are, you will not be able to lose as much weight because the body's metabolism has adjusted itself to lose just a small amount of energy for that physical activity. Your body sort of gets used to the exercise after awhile. But if you regularly change your routine, then the body won't have time to adjust and you can lose the weight continuously.

Answer 3

you will love 1 lbs of fat per week is you are burning 3500 more each week than you are eating - assuming that you are eating enough protein.

If you do not eat enough protein, you will end up losing some muslce also.

HERE ARE THE BASICS:

1. you lose weight by consuming fewer Calories than you burn
2. you gain weight by consuming more Calories than you burn.
3. you should be concerned with losing FAT, not weight. There are 3500 Calories/Lbs of fat. To lost one pound of fat/week you have to burn 3500 Calories/week more than you consumed. there are 2500 Calories in a pound of muscle.
4. You should be more concerned with your percent body fat, not your weight.
5. the best, most effective way or burning fat is by combining weight-training and cardio exercise. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be. You will burn more calories all day long, including while you sleep. A health body fat percentage for males is 7-18%, females 18-24% (approximate numbers).
6. you should eat 6-8 small meals each day - this will prevent you from eating 3 large meal which will slow your metabolism while your body works to digest the large quantity of food.

As a general rule of thumb, you should be weight-training 3-4 times per week and performing cardio 3-5 times per week.

Consider hiring a personal trainer (ISSA certified) and a nutritionist. The money spent on these services is worth more than spending money on pills and potions.

Answer 5

Most people say they walk for an excercise but they do not walk correctly. For walking to be accepted as an excercise it doesn't matter if you walk slow or fast. What matters is that you should walk in a constant or same speed and walk with a continuous rhythm. its the constant speed and rhythm combination that helps burn more calories. A casual walk is not considered excercise.

Answer 6

To lose weight, you need to reduce the calories going in and increase your exercise.

Exercise is cardio or strength or flexibility.

For cardio, you need to increase the heart rate. Slow walking does NOT do this. Walking at a moderate (brisk) pace, or speed walking, or cardio videos, or running, etc is what you need to do at least 3 times per week for one hour each session.

For strength training, you need to lift weights. Free weights are great! Use them at least 2 times per week for 45 minutes per session.

For flexibility, try Pilates or Yoga at least 2 times per week for 45 minutes per session.
