Believe it or not walking is a very good workout, but you need to keep the pace up so it makes you sweat and get your heartrate up, the trick is to keep your heart-rate up for awhile, I walk for 1 hour straight at a brisk pace, it was -34 celsius outside yesterday but i didnt notice I dressed properly and just kept going(I was only cold on my cheeks from that -43 celsius windchill BRRRRR) When I was done I felt great but I made the mistake of not tying my shoes properly and the balls of my feet were a little sore from sliding around in my shoes. Wear proper footwear and tie them good. Remember walk FAST, keep that pace up, music helps. If you dont feel sweaty or your heartrate doesnt climb walk FASTER, I usually jog 10 or 20 meters every once in awhile when walking this keeps my heartrate up and then walk some more. I like to stay close to home when walking, I live on an old radar base(pine tree line) and it takes me 16 minutes to do one lap. I did 4 laps yesterday in 1 hour and 2 minutes. Time went by very quickly I promised myself I would do this everyday. I go before I eat so I burn bodyfat. lost 21 pounds in 37 days. (changed my diet to 6 meals day and laying off the sugar and salt)Very important to keep the pace up, you can burn almost TWICE as much calories in the SAME distance in LESS time.
SAME distance, LESS time TWICE as many calories burned. Thats my mantra.

Running or walking for 1-2 hours a day will take care of all extra fat
For the spare tire
standing with your legs about 1.5ft. apart and reach for your opposite foot and also try the same hand to foot. It really stretches the love handle area

Run. The absolute best, cheapest, most accessible calorie burning exercise. Period.
The only exercise that burns more calories per hour is cross country skiing.
Your fat doesn't care if you have a short attention span. Weight loss takes time and discipline. Deal with it.
