Does walking help tone leg muscles?

Question

I started walking last week. I walked 4 days/30 minutes a day. I am going to try and do that 5 times a week from now on. My question is will this tone up my muscles? I would like to loose the cellulite on my booty and strengthen my leg muscles including my thighs. Will walking do this alone or do I need to incorporate other exercising method? Thanks.

Answer 1

Walking alone is good up to a point, but then your body will become used to it. You will have to incorporate other exercises. Also, try changing your walking route, make sure you find routes with some hills of varying inclines or, if you're lucky enough to live near a beach, walking on the sand is great exercise! Best wishes!

Answer 2

To the best of my knowledge cellulite has to be removed surgically. Walking is great exercise but it will not do away with cellulite. Walking will tone your leg muscles. I would increase the time as you get used to walking and add some elevation to those walks to help with toning.

Answer 3

pick a day and walk 9 miles. That'll take about 3 hours. You will notice a big big difference over the next several days. It will tone you up all over. If able, do some wind sprints in that walk.

Answer 4

Because walking incorporates the whole body, you can achieve what you want by doing it alone in the exercise department. Watch your foods as well--not too much fat or rich, gravy-laden, stuff.

I'm no expert, but theoretically, yes it should help tone leg muscles.

In other news, the sky is blue.

Answer 7

theres no such thing as toning a muscle. you can burn fat around the muscle to make it more visible. or you can increase the size and density of the muscle. but to tone a muscle is impossible. and yes walking will burn fat.
