[quote=Anonymous]OP, how much weight do you have to lose, how quickly are you trying to lose it, and what are you doing for nutrition?

Your current exercise routine already sounds very healthy, so if you are not losing weight, it's probably due to your diet.  If you are losing weight, I wonder how realistic, healthy, or sustainable it is to try to lose more weight more quickly through exercise.

Adding 20-30 minutes of brisk walking will burn an extra 100-200 calories per day (depending on sex, weight, etc.).  If you did that every day, you could burn an extra 700 - 1400 calories a week, which would be a quarter to a half pound a week IF you didn't eat any additional calories over what you are eating now.

If it makes sense to add that, do it.  But if it's going to take away enjoyment/relaxation/sleep from an already busy life to lose that little just a little faster, is it worth it?  Sleep is good for us too.  And not being stressed by adding a second workout session instead of calling a friend, or watching a show, or meal planning, or doing the laundry, or whatever.
