Walking Works?
 

For some reason I just don't feel like in doing very much good when I was I Do 30 mins on 2.50 and my incline is on 10 I'm just no good at running and I was wondering am I even doing anything good or just wasting my time?

I walk at least 3-4 times a week these days, and it helps me maintain. Any kind of cardio works. Even if it's low intensity. When I was pregnant, I was still walking, and it helped me stay in a healthy weight range to where I was lower than my pre-pregnancy weight within 3 weeks of delivering her.

I started out walking, and when my body got used to it, and I started enjoying it (eventually), I kicked it up a notch. You'll get there! Just keep going! :)

Thank you I feel better now! So aslo I just looked at your ticker and WoW. What's your secret lol you look great if you don't mind me asking what's your system it deff seems to have worked! And I was 135 before I had my baby and got up to 200 now I'm 170 but its hard with a baby to exersice n get time for stuff.

I lost 40 pounds just dieting and going for long walks. I regained some of the weight and now I'm back on track. So yes....walking definitely works! I want to be able to run long distances but i get bored so fast! Lol. So I end up just walking more (don't get bored as quickly...cause I can do other stuff instead). Stick with it!

I'm hoping it will work. I'm doing a walking DVD that does 3 miles at 5mph.

I hope it does work for you! Good luck.

Walking is wonderful! Don't feel like it's a waste of time, it's not as if your body refuses to burn calories if you're not running 6mph ;) Plus with time you'll be able to work up to walking for longer periods of time, faster, longer distances, etc., if that's what you choose. I started out walking outside, and it was a struggle to do a mile in twenty minutes, but now a year later I've worked up to doing a half-marathon, I can do a mile in about fourteen minutes, and I've just started working on running a bit. So keep with it!
