Walking to toned your body???

Question

I'm goin to start walking from my house to school tomorrow. It will probably takes 2-3 hours walking to get to school. Does jogging/walking helps you lose weight all over the body or? and how long would it take if you start walking for 2-3 hours, 5 times a week? will this helps my legs go bulk or slim down?

an answer to my question will be greatly appreciated thanks.

Answer 1

walking does help you to lose weight, but you have to do quite a bit of it.  If you get a pedometer it will help - they're fairly inexpensive to buy.  The recommended amount is 10,000 steps per day to maintain your weight and 11-12,000 per day to lose weight.

Walking to school will probably do it, but are you sure you'll keep it up if you've got to walk for 2-3 hours each day?  I don't think I would.  Could you get the bus part way - for instance walk for 30 mins to an hour and get the bus the rest of the way?
