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. 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 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 TRIPLE the calories in the SAME distance in LESS time.
SAME distance, LESS time and TRIPLE the calories burned!!!!!
Walk: 2 mph (30 minute/mile) 314 calories
Walk: 3 mph (20 minute/mile) 414 calories
Walk: 3.5 mph (17 minute/mile) 477 calories
Walk: 4 mph (15 minute/mile) 627 calories
Walk: 4.5 mph (13 minute/mile) 790 calories
Walk: 5 mph (12 minute/mile) 1003 calories
60 minutes of walking

Not necessarily, but walking up hill will.
I discovered that by walking up hill on a treadmill for 15 minutes, you will burn 4 times the calories than if you ran on a flat surface.
Combining walking & jogging is still better than not jogging at all.

you will desire to jog for sort of 8 seconds, to get your coronary heart value up, and then in case you purely stroll for the subsequent 10 minutes you would be burning an identical quantity of energy as you might have in case you have been working throughout the time of that factor. yet after 10 minutes, initiate working lower back for sort of 8 secs - and proceed the cycle.

If you walk for at least 20 minutes it will. After 20 minutes of any cardio is when you lose weight. Walking or running doesn't matter, getting your heart rate up and keeping it up is what speeds up and boosts your motabilism where you can lose weight. If you are just going to walk and not run, try walking with weights so you can build muscle at the same time.

Yes - you'd have to walk about four times as far. But less stress on your legs and knees might be an acceptable trade-off. Riding a bicycle is also a good exercise instead of jogging.

Yes, and without jolting your joints the way jogging does.
I used to live on one side of town and work on the other. And I walked because I didn't have a car. I never gained weight.

it can give many of the same results but burns lots of fats is probably the wrong way to say it

depends. if you exert the same amount of activity (i.e., burn the same amount of calories) then yes it will. i don't have an exact formula to equate walking effort to running effort, but obviously you would have to walk a LOT further than running to achieve the same amount of burn.

Sure and try power walking it gets and keeps the heart rate up longer.

yes it is true and it is ectually better for you than running or jogging becuase when you run you are jolting your body everytime you go up and down and it causes strain on you muscles and organs.
