The great thing about walking is that it is easy for almost anyone. Prevention Magazine has printed a four week walking program that will help you shed one size! I might even try some of those new mbt shoes that are supposed to help burn even more calories! The program can be found at Prevention’s website. This is the program at a glance:
What You’ll Need: Good-fitting walking shoes, a sports watch with interval timer, and a medium-weight elastic resistance band or tube (available at sporting goods stores).
What You’ll Do: A combination of walking and strength workouts 6 days a week.
To Maximize Results: Eat about 1,600 calories a day, filling up on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy monounsaturated fats. Also have 3 cups of green tea (hot or cold) daily–studies show compounds in the tea can help you burn belly fat!
Happy Walking!

Interesting, I try to walk at least a few times a week in addition to going to the gym, and I never seem to lose any weight!
