If you walk as if you're racing (known as race walking), you'll rev up your heart rate and speed up your metabolism, to burn excess fat from your entire body. When you walk like this, you increase the intensity level of your exercise and you can cover more miles in shorter time. 3 miles per day for 5 times per week is good enough if you just want to maintain your weight and health. But to lose weight, you need to cover more miles in the 40 mins session. Here's a detailed explanation on how to walk to lose weight: http://www.perfect-body-toning.com/walking-exercises.html Yes, your walk program plus your Yoga/Pialtes session, I would say, is sufficient to replace the gym membership. Gym has equipment to help you exercise and trainers to help you along. But exercise without equipment is equally as effective.<br><b>References : </b><br> It depends on how you define brisk walk…..

Gyms offer equipment that works on specific muscles. Getting a few items from a store like wal-mart can increase muscle tone in other areas like arms, abs, etc. Check Shape Magazine for at-home workouts using what you have around the house and stay with it.<br><b>References : </b><br> Not a complete substitute, but a start.

It just makes sense - all that sweating and huffing and puffing must mean more calories are being burnt, right?

For example if you're ammuned to running and not getting a good heart beat from it, it's best to begin sprinting. The faster the heart pumps, the more calories are there converted to energy. http://www.hxcfitness.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=68 Look at those routines, join for personalised advice<br><b>References : </b><br> No. The amount of calories burned comes from how hard the heart is being exercised.
