Walking and How to Make it a Real Workout

Walking can be a real workout but it can also do nothing for weight loss. If you use "walking" the right way it can be the weight loss exercise you have been looking for.
How It Works
Walking may be the simplest way to work out. You can do it almost anywhere, and it’s a snap to get started: Just put one foot in front of the other.
There are many great reasons to walk. Your heart will get stronger, you’ll lower your blood pressure, and your bones will get stronger. Walking also eases stress, helps you sleep better, and can boost your outlook on life. If you have a big dog you already have a walking buddy. You can both get healthy. 
If you want to walk to lose weight you have to walk about one hour a day, 5 days a week, at at a 4 MPH pace. Don't get excited because I know that most of us can't do that. You have to start out walking your own pace for 30 minutes and just keep building up and you can walk at that brisk pace. My wife and I are over 70 and we can do it. Don't give up on yourself. Even walking is a workout so you might sweat a little, that's normal.
You can match your pace to your fitness level. For a more intense workout, try walking faster, longer, or uphill. Than for a more advanced workout, I do a walk, run routine. After I warm-up, I'll walk fast for one minute, than run for one minute, than walk fast for one minute, than run for one minute and so on. Do this about eight times and then about 5 minutes of cool-down walking and your done. I usually follow up with some stretching so I avoid cramps.
