I'm no fitness expert by any means, but I've never found any real benefit from walking. Even long walks. Unless you're moving your arms and walking at a fast pace, you're not going to notice much difference. If you really want to see a difference, you have really have to get your entire body moving. Jogging and running are not the only way to step up the exercise. Jumping rope is a great way to get a really good cardio work out in a short amount of time.Right, I need some motivation. Got a challenge on with a mate, we both need to lose 20% body weight by end of June 2019. I am 6ft 0" and started on 1 Jan at 17st 6lbs (244lbs). Haven't been well all year (chest infection) but have been on a few 4 mile walks. Have lost 4lbs in last two weeks (only another 44 to go!) Is walking a good way to carry on or do I need to step it up? (can jog about 2 miles in 20mins but it kills my knees).
However, I swear by burpees. They are by far the best cardio work out that you can do in my opinion. You can start slow and kind just walk through out at first, then as you build up endurance, you can start doing them a lot faster and with more intensity. Just in case you don't know what they are (or if you call them something else there):
