In order to loose weight by walking you must get your heartrate above what it is normally. That is what causes you to sweat and loose the weight. Powerwalking is usually the best way becuase you are walking at a faster speed than normal.

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 :)

When walking, your leg muscles are burning and creating energy. Some of this energy is burned off by fat. That is why walking can help you lose weight. Also it is a great way to relax and get fresh air which is always good for your body. Enjoy!

lol Walking causes your body to burn fat off of all areas, especially if you walk for more than 20 minutes. Your body starts to burn fat after 20 minutes, so anything over this will be excellent! Food is also part of it, as you'll need to watch fatty and sweet treats so you'll get somewhere faster with your exercise, and drink plenty of water!

Think of eating as a bank. What you eat goes in as an asset, and what you burn is a debit. Exercise is a good debit i.e. it burns calories. Unless you eat more, your balance will go down.
