Burn more calories than you eat or drink to lose weight. Once the diet part is planned, get to walking. This means 30 minutes a day seven days a week of aerobic work. Walking is a tolerable, low impact way to accomplish this goal and more importantly to stick with it for a long time. With a few tips in mind it can be even better.

Forget exercising only three or five days a week, aerobic exercise is something you need perform every day forever.

Once the walking is established do some other activities to increase your physical output. This can include simple things like raking leaves instead of blowing them, wacky things like playing tag with your children, as well as other every day habits such as parking in the furthest space from the store rather than the closest.

After getting accustomed to walking that 30 minutes every day, make some adjustments by adding intervals. Intervals are short bursts of increased activity sprinkled into a normal routine. Start out by running for 30 seconds every 10 minutes of the walk. Gradually increase this to a one minute run every five minutes, which goes like this. You walk for the first four minutes, then run for the fifth, then walk the next four minutes, run the next minute, and so on for the duration of 30 minutes. Keep in mind that a run is not a jog, it's faster, like a sprint. So if you have to work up to run with jog at first.

Make walking a whole family activity. Walk the kids to school instead of driving them. Walk to the store. Get out and see the sights. And no, don't stop walking just because of some rain. Wear a rain coat and some galoshes.
