Hey everyone I am desperate to loss a few pounds I have gained over the past year. I keep finding myself struggling and have the biggest sweet tooth that keeps getting in the way. What I am hoping to get from this website is opinions. What I plan to do to tackle these pounds was eat rather healthy with a diet that is high in protein mostly chicken and protein shakes. I am also taking the Raspberry ketones that were on the Dr. Oz show. For exercise I was thinking of walking 3-4 miles everyday along with lifting free weights following a book I purchased called the 28 day body shapeover. Now my real question is will walking 3-4 miles a day (speed walking) help me lose weight? or do I have to take a more aggressive approach to my cardio workout??


Looking forward to the feedback!!

Thank you:):)
 
any exercise over and above what you have previously done will help. how much and for how long it will help has far too many variables.

Try it, see what happens. if you don't like the results, up your game.

About your question- My philosophy is this- Working out for the sake of working out to lose weight is pointless. Like the Tourny mentioned, any exercise that you do above and beyond what you are currently doing will work.....But what is the point of your exercise? I like to advocate a different approach to losing weight which I talk about greatly at my site. Set exercise goals and let your progress towards the goals determine your fat loss. I won't touch on the diet but here is some advice on the walking. Since you stated that you are walking 3-4 miles everyday I will assume that you have a set route. Walk that route everyday for a week and record your times. Now you have just set a baseline. Once you know what your average times are set a goal to try and beat those times. This is extremely simple and I am working on an ebook on the whole idea of exercising with a purpose but let me know how it goes. Take small baby bites and try and knock a few seconds off your best times every week. A few seconds every week adds up to a lot month after month, not to mention it becomes a game and motivating to improve. I have to jet at the moment but I'll check in later and post more if you are interested. If not, no problem just some food for thought
 
You could try doing some interval training while u r doing your walk. So do a short sprint so you are really out of breath, then slow down until you just recover and sprint again. This type of training burns way more calories than just walking at the same pace the whole way. If you really want to track your progress then get yourself a heart rate monitor, which also shows you the amount of calories burned. If you aim for 85% of your heart rate on your sprints and then don't drop below 70% during recovery you will be on the right track. As you get fitter you will find that it will be harder to get your heart rate up there and you will increase the amount of time spent in the sprint. This type of training also gives you a great after burn effect, which means you'll be burning heaps of calories for hours after you finish exercising.
