Walking 4 miles a day? -

ok, so i usually walk 1 mile a day when coming home from school and i do it carrying a 40 lb backpack. (no back problems so far) anyway, i recently started walking an extra 3 miles at night so in total i have been walking 4 miles a day or more. will this help me lose weight. i have been eating well, not real cutback but still less than before. will this help me lose weight in a decent amount of time? i don t want a quick fix but instead healthy weight loss. thanks.

Hi, Brenna, walking four miles a day will definitely make a difference in your weight if you re cutting back on your food as well. The walking alone won t show a quick change. Walking four 15 minute miles burns approx. 500 calories!! http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/card��

yes this will help you lose weight gradually, and as you build up your cardio endurance and walking that distance becomes easier, try jogging (obviously without the backpack), as this will burn more calories and more effectively help you lose weightin terms of your diet, you dont have to cutback on everything, just try to be more healthy, and this will definitely help too
