15-Minute Walks vs. Longer Walks for Weight loss

@amadeo I wish I could take 15 minute walks 4 times a day but cannot. I do some exercises inside and take a short walk around my neighborhood when I can. Sometimes I take longer ones.

I just saw an article today about losing weight in 21 days by walking starting at 15 minutes at a time. My problem is that I use the treadmill in my home and can't seem to stop at 15 minutes if I'm not hurting. And because of that I do result in a lot of pain later on. And it's not because I'm not used to the exercise. I have fibromyalgia - chronic pain and fatigue. I have been extremely tired lately, not sleeping well, and just haven't had the energy to get on that treadmill... or do anything else for that matter.

I walk twice a day in summer, only during the cooler hours, half hour in the morning and half hour late in the afternoon.

It's too hot for me to go out walking even for a short one. I try to walk as much as I can around the house to get in those much needs steps. When it gets cooler out then I'll head out doors.

I walk up to an hour every morning. I frequently walk or just call it pacing around the house while watching TV.

I love my walks but I twisted my foot a couple of weeks and I'm trying to let it heal. I hope I'm out walking soon.

That´s a very good idea.

I usually only walk in the pool, bad knees and all but I used to love my walks.

I love to walk, but I do not feel that it helps me with weight loss, maybe I move too slowly-like a stroll.

Whenever I can, I do the 20 minutes walk several times a day. Of course, there are days that I can't do even one.

Years ago, I used to walk 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night. Right now, I walk 15-20 in the morning and 15-20 minutes around late morning.

Now I need to get out and walk. You are making me motivated.

I walk daily with my friends and usually for 4-6 mile fast-paced walks. My son and I take fast walks, but my husband and I seem to take moderate walks together. I feel as if I'm dragging him, since we hold hands. LOL! I find them invigorating, but love the gym much more now. I will continue doing both. Glad you walk for health, too!

Sounds like a good plan. I haven't tried taking walks yet. Though I've increased my exercise program in the fitness center.

i always have a 30 minute walk daily from work to home. i think walking a few minutes to an hour is both beneficial for our overall wellbeing. =) thank you for sharing.

15 minutes walk daily is benefical rather than opted a long walk once in a week..

15 minutes walk are efficient even through longer walk are usually with the intention.

I been taking the shorter walks, just as good.

When it comes to exercise some is better than none I had a friend who told me you have to keep moving or else your health might eventually be affected. So, I take that to heart and try to find time to exercise most days.

Brisk walking for 15 minutes is always better than long walks.The long walks may drain you and leave you exhausted .It always better to do brisk walking for 15 minutes everyday.
