[quote=Anonymous]You can fast-walk/power walk 3 miles a day easily.  I do.  Morning walk 20 mins, lunchtime walk 20 mins, evening walk the same.  You get the idea. I make a couple of figure-8s on my neighbor streets and that is that.  Podcast helps.  Some prefer music.  I can do that also on Sat and Sun morning in an hour, but I don;t have one hour straight during the week --  segments work better for me.  I walk super fast with long strides for my short legs (I am 5'1")

I feel great (I'm 58) but I do not lose weight unless I keep my caloric intake to 1500 calories a day.  It's easy now but was torture for the 2 years I shifted my eating habits  to maintain that intake.

Your mantra:  exercise is for your heart and lungs and muscles, diet is for your weight.

My parents are dedicated walkers and still do it everyday, now in their late 80s. I have 2 teens who are serious cyclists (and vegetarian)  and I like to think the example I and their grandparents set contribute to their health consciousness.  If you have kids, do it for them. [/quote]
