Can walking 30 minutes a day beneficial for steady weight loss and health benefits?

It's much better: Than nothing. Try to increase the pace and distance. You burn up approximately 100 calories to the mile, and it's 3500 calories you have to burn off to lose one pound, so dietary restriction is also essential.

Good start.: Walking for 30 minutes daily is a great way to start a cardiovascular fitness program. Eventually, though, you may find that this routine becomes too easy and not challenging enough. You may need to intensify it down the road, either by walking for longer periods of time or by stepping up the intensity to cycling or jogging.
