Is there a good walking program for someone who needs to start slow?

Question

I am newly single for about 6 months now. I am 190 pounds at 5'5. I carry the weight all over as apposed to in the middle. I live in the country and have decent places to walk weather permitting. I can't afford a gym or treadmill as I am single. Money is tight. Can anyone offer a program that starts slow and builds? I have been walking about a half a mile almost daily and it seems to be the most I can handle. I have extra motivation now as I went out with a guy a few times but his ex found out tracked me down and pointed out that he wouldn't be interested in me because I was fat and old....He still calls but I told him until she leaves me alone I cant go out. Any good walking suggestions?

Answer 1

walk like u walk every day, dont walk more than what u cant take, i have a very healthy diet if you are interested, you do it for three days and you loose weight because you are eating only what your body needs.... the principal goal of this diet is also changing your eating habits... after the 3 days you get another diet that helps u keep loosing... like maintainace diet .


if ur interested you can drop me a line.

:) have a wonderful day :)

Answer 2

Start slow, wear good shoes. Bring a cell phone if you have one.

Hydrate before you walk, drink at least a pint, preferably 2 of water.

Half a mile is 2,500 feet. If you are tired at that, then do that. Try to do a little more each day. Even better is to find a group of girls to jog or walk with in your local area. there might be a mixed sex jogging fitness group.

Go at least a half hour.

There are some sites on the net, try googling aerobic fitness walking and such.

Answer 3

Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.

Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.

U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.

Good luck. I'm trying to do the same thing at age 60. I now walk about 4 miles at least 3 times per week.

Answer 5

You shouldn't spend so much time on your computer asking questions about walking, that's for sure. Just walk half a mile a day and gradually build it up.
