Yes, it is actually very good exercise, and if you go to caloriesperhour.com or fitday.com one of those sites will tell you how much you are burning

Actually that is GREAT. I have also started walking on a treadmill i can only do it 5 days a week because I use the one at my work. I have done a lot of looking around on the Internet about walking etc and the one thing that i have constantly found is that changing your pace off and on is a really good idea for some reason staying at one pace the whole time is not recommended at all. Also don't lean on the bar in front of you.

I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.
It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.
Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!

Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk.
Good LUCK!

Yes- it’s excellent actually. That’s cardio that you are doing. Add some weight training 3 times a week and you got yourself perfect exercise program.

Good enough for what is the question. What is your reason/goal for the exercise? Also any health concerns? Got bad knees?

Of course! Walking is great exercise for your heart, especially. Try to get your heart rate up when you walk, don't loaf, and you will definitely see results!
