How fit can you get from just walking?
Guess I&#x27;ll share my own story: close to seven years ago now I was nudging up against 270 pounds and had a 44 inch waist. I decided to make some changes and started walking 2 miles a night. This is less than half the distance spoken of in the OP, but in compensation the route involved several decent hills and I walked it briskly. I also did a couple of other things that I think were important: I stopped adding sugar to coffee and I stopped drinking soda and having desert every night after dinner. Over a period of around a year I dropped from 265-ish to 215-ish and shrank my waist to 36 inches. I&#x27;m still walking the two miles every night, seven nights a week. Coming out of the covid-19 year of sloth I&#x27;ve put about 15 pounds back on, so I am considering adding another mile or two to the routine and perhaps doing a few other exercises, but just walking those two miles a night worked wonders for me.
