Thinking of walking 7 miles a day?

[Anonymous]

i want to lose 15-20 more pds. I just want to shed that last stubborn roll covering my lower abs and getting more lean. I'm 5'8 180 pds I want to be 160 pds. I'm in decent shape as I already do work out but I'm going to amp it up for faster results. iam also thinking of keeping my diet the same, I eat a good amount of protein. I don't overeat or under eat, some days ill be hungry some days I won't be. anybody want to try to do this challenge with me? lol of course I shouldn't be silly, everybody on gag is in much better shape than i, with military like precision :P

so I guess just for people like me. if you do 10 miles a day well that's great for you. I don't like running I prefer walking, at a good fast pace, maybe eventually I can start jogging again.7 miles may take me around1.5-2 hrs to do each day, I can walk very fast so it may take less time than that hopefully. I hope to be at the track early in the morning. exercising is much better when doing it with someone else but I don't think anybody I know has my determination or sheer will power to do this which sucks! lone wolfing life sucks at times. okay ill stop ranting now lol

I like to just go outside and do my walking but I hate the cold usually I just go walking down the country side or biking actually, love biking or cycling, whatever :P but ya I gotta buy passes to the walking track because I hate walking around in the cold, and its icy! blah, canada sucks why was I born here?! lol

I think walking 7 miles a day is an awful lot. There are so many other things you can do! I myself love walking but walk no more than 4 miles a day sometimes its just one mile.

You go try skiing this is a great workout, brings up your heart rate and it is the best way to get in fit shape (I have skied for years).

Is there a public pool you could go to? Do laps back and forth.

Ever hear of 'Zumba' if not look it up on YouTube it is a lot of fun!

I wouldn't walk that much everyday switch it up a bit.

Whats wrong it Canada! I love Canada! I live a half hour from the Quebec border.

well I'm poor and I don't have skis so I can't travel to the ski hill willy nilly as I please. I'm just sick of the cold and roads/sidewalks being icy so I can't even walk outside or don't feel like it. walking track is my cheapest option, too expensive to go swimming its like 8$ a shot

Hmm that's unfortunate. Well if there are parks near you then I would check them out. But anything outdoors is fine. You might be able to come across cheap skis on Craigslist or a thrift store.

Do you have a gym membership?

Walking 7 miles is better than nothing, but that's a massive waste of time. You'd burn much more calories using an elliptical for an hour or going bike riding.
