Hello Ryan,
Absolutely! Any extra caloric expenditure of your choice will enable you to lose weight given you do not take in more calories than you burn.
Choose a walking path that will challenge you as well with a small percent grade in incline.

Good Luck!

Any additional activity that increases your heart rate and has enough intensity behind it will help with facilitating weight loss, food intake is the other equation and very important.

Hi Ryan,

walking (or any other form of aerobic activity that you enjoy) is an important part of any weight loss program. Here is what the Mayo Clinic has to say on that subject: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/walking/AN01773

Wishing you well.

Hello Ryan. I agree with the above posts in that walking, or any other aerobically-based exercise (e.g. cycling, swimming) can be instrumental in losing weight and reducing body fat. As with any ‘program,’ the degree with which this program will help in weight loss depends on several factors (some personal, and some programmatic). For example, personal – the individual’s current, pre-program fitness level, and programmatic – the ‘intensity’ of the walking program.

I hope that this helps.

Yes! When things start to get easy, increase your pace, the distance you’re traveling or add hills, stairs or change from walking on pavement to a trail to add in a new challenge.

If you’ve already been walking for a while, try adding some strength training to the mix.

Good luck!
Jocelyn
