the average person walks about 3 miles per hour...so it takes around 20 minutes to walk a mile.  Depends on how tall you are.

You know what im trying to find out the difference and even the staff at my health club cant tell me. If you find out which is more beneficial please e mail me. I do believe that you should stay in no longer than 20 mins though.

Why not try to run instead of walking?

Cutting that much off your time in 10 months may be overly optomistic\n\nTo cut 40 minutes off your time, you have to cut about 90 seconds per mile off your average pace.  \n\nAt some point in your training you should start running your target  pace over an extended distance. Maybe only 5 miles at first then extend it up to at least 10 miles and maybe 15. \n\nThe year I ran my marathon PR, in the last month before the race,  I did one workout of 15 miles, on the track, at my target pace, checking every quarter mile to make sure I was running an even pace. Note: Some people thought it was a crazy workout, but on race day I was at or better than my target pace for 26 consecutive miles.

Alternating is a great way to go. You walk for one minute, and jog for one minute, then walk for one minute, and run for one minute.\n\nAt first you may need to build up so, try walking for three minutes, and running for 45 seconds, brining the times closer until you can do one for one minute, and the next for one minute. Then, build to two minutes, and so on.

If you walk on a treadmil with digital read outs you will notice that the faster you walk the more calories you burn. Walking is a very effective exercise, and if you want to use it to your best advantage you should walk as fast as you can just below your jogging speed, and do so for atleast 30 minutes per day. By raising your heart rate and burning the calories you will see pounds melt away. Make sure to drink plenty of water to flush out all the bad toxins. For every step I take is towards better health and fitness. Each person must set thier own tolerance , but walking as fast as you can for as long as you can works best, If walking has not been a habit , you will need to set realistic goals, lets say your first week you walk as fast as you can for 1/2 mile, next week try to add distance to it until you have worked up to a distance and pace that is right for you. Hope this helps you out, Happy Trails.

start out walking than step up the pace. begin with half hour aday till you can handle more.. but miss a step. hit every step up and down.

60 minutes of Jazzercise....fat-burning exercise is about maintaining a higher than average heart-beat for an extended period of time.\n\n60 minutes is a good length of time for exercise.....does it take you more than 60 minutes to walk 2 miles ?

I am active army and have witnessed two friends lose 0ver 40 lbs during a 16 week period.  They did it the right way, but the hard way.  Force yourself to run/jog four days a week for 30 minutes each day.  Set aside two days a week for muscle failure activity (pushups, situps, light weight training (one hour each day), take one day off during the week.  Make sure you eat 3 healthy meals a day and do not allow yourself any snacks at night.  Walking is the lazy way of doing this and will require much more time and will provide you with almost no muscle tone.  You must force yourself to run when you do not want to run, you must stay motivated/vigilant, for example; if you are not pouring sweat and your muscles are not sore at the end of your workout, then you are CHEATING YOUR BODY.  STAY AWAY from pills which are created by scientist who work in labs that have no windows and do not require any real testing by FDA (Food and Drug administration), you have no idea whats in them and chances are that in 20 years we are going to find out that they cause serious health problems!

It doesn't really matter. Just walk as much as you want. If you don't have enough time to walk in the morning.. the evening is always another option. but it is completely up to you how much you walk and have time for. But I walk for at least 20 minutes.

going at a steady fast but not 'speedwalking pace' i do a mile in 15-20 minutes...up and down hill. i am short (5'5). if you have longer legs you may get there faster, haha, but 30 minutes should be about right...if you have never walked before, you may want and need to build up...everyone has different needs and abilities or limitations. best to try walking and slow down or stop if it seems to be to difficult...a little out of breath is good, a faster heartbeat is good, a little sweat is good...chest pains, gasping for breath, bad.

If you can handle 30 no problem then I would stay go with the 45 minutes.  If you are just starting, I would stay to start with even less, about 20 minutes, and then work your way up in 5 minute intervals.

I'm doing the same thing and i find that rewarding myself is the best starter . after a week of running i bought a ipod now my tunes help me keep going . it takes 30 days to create a habit . so push yourself through the motions and in 30 days your body will want to .

No problem!  Change your diet a little.  If you don't drink water, go ahead and start instead of drinking caloric drinks.  Go walking veryday.  This is really simple!  If you want, you can jog 5 mins, then walk 5 mins and keep doing this until you are able to jog 20 mins straight.  You can do it, but I bet just drinking water and walking will be enough.  Eat more veggies and less saturated fats!  Good luck!
