You don't really need to 'power walk' to lose weight....just walk at a pace that leaves you slightly breathless(this pace will vary from person to person) and do it at least five days a week......if you do this, the weight should start to drop(as long as you are following a healthy balanced diet).
It isn't rocket science - less calories consumed + more physical activity(on a regular basis)= weight loss.

Why do you need to walk at a pace that makes you out of breath? I`ve been on two long (for me anyway) walks this weekend, a total of almost 20 miles, a nice steady pace but wasn`t out of breath at all, surely I will still have burned away plenty of calories.
You certainly will have burned some calories, but being slightly out of breath means that the excercise was aerobic, made your heart and lungs work just a little bit harder........and you continue burning the fat after you stop exercising...but not if you hoe into a Mars bar or a bag of crisps.
Good luck Homer with your quest to lose weight and get fit.
I used to walk to some good music......something with a good beat which kept my pace up.
Interesting stuff Margaret, I have been told in the past that you need to get out of breath but never really understood why.
According to runkeeper, I burned 1016 calories on my Saturday walk and 917 today.
Not sure how accurate that is, but a good guide nonetheless.

Any form of exercise has never interested me in the slightest, Though i do tend to normal walk a fair bit during the day, I have never bothered either wi this healthy eating crap, if i like summat i have it. without making a pig of meself, Never ever been overweight, this may be lucky, or me constitution i have no real idea? But i reckon common sense has some bearing on it?
Just so you get the gist, 120 paces to the minute (Light Infantry double time) plus the lads are kitted up with rifle & bayonet, 6 mags of 30 rounds each, bandolier of 150 rounds, couple of grenades, rations for 24 hours & probably some kit for section support weapons. (weighing in between 10.5 -15 kg).
Combats, helmet, body armour, boots.

In other words, leave home worried that you'll miss the bell for last orders, incentive enough to arrive out of breath.
Who cares about calories? so long as you have enough energy to drag your fat arse down to the pub why worry?
It was you with that Boom Box that annoyed everyone within three streets then? (Could never understand those things, a package case on your shoulder full of about 12 expensive batteries, just to annoy the neighbors.
Would have been cheaper just to throw bricks at their windows).

You would have been real fun when it came to Brucie and his conveyor belt wouldn't you, most folk were happy with the cuddly toy!
Probably someone trying to lose weight i.e. the thread starter
That's an optional extra.
Hey Abdul, don't press the plunger, that infidel has a cuddly toy, he must be a friend of Brucie!
Right there in his first post Less.

Do you know, I can read, I read his first post, I don't need proof from you, the plain fact is he looks in the mirror and thinks lard arse,
he doesn't need you making him feel worse by encouraging him to exercise, he needs positive folk like me to give him a reason to continue his slovenly existence without having to put effort into changing it beyond recognition.
Now, that wasn't me being negative, that was me saying, go later for your pint, if you leave it until the last minute, you will have the added excitement of not knowing if you'll get served.
I know from experience, that makes the heart race,
Now smarty pants how many calories is that?
That`s a fact is it, cos I must have missed where he said that.
I wasn`t encouraging him to exercise, I was asking Margaret about the need to push yourself till you are breathless and using the fact that I had been out this weekend, wasn`t breathless, but still burned plenty of calories.
