A member asked:
If i walk 70 min per day back and forth from work (35 min each way) will it help lose weight (along with dieting) even if i'm not walking very fast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Great start: Walking to and from work is a great way to start to exercise. Start by walking at comfortable pace. You can increase your speed as tolerated. Walking will help to lose weight along with portion and calorie control. Consider using a wearable that can keep track of your steps. Aim first for 10,000 steps/day. Best wishes on your weight loss journey!
