Walking 20 minutes?Wasting my time?

Ok,So I’ve been walking for 20 minutes everyday. At 4.0 (mph) [It moves up 2.0-2.5-3.0-3.5-4.0] Is this going to help me lose some weight? Is it going to help wth lovehandles and stomach area?

What could I do to lose weight in those areas?(and some in the inner thys) :) Thanks.

Answer #1

walking will not help you lose weight if you eat a lot. the tummy and body fat is lost with exercises like cycling, swimming, running. Walking builds your leg muscles and helps with circulation - nothing more - nothing less

Answer #2

All exercise will help you lose weight, as long as you maintain a constant calorie intake.

You’re walking about 9 miles a week at that rate, which will burn around 1000 calories (on average, it’s about 110 calories per mile of brisk walking). You will lose 1lb of fat every 3 weeks doing that. But just as importantly, you will gain muscle tone.

Answer #3

It will definately help. Could maybe do some toning exercises for your tummy like swimming or yoga.
