One pound of fat is approximately 3500 calories. A half hour of fast walking burns up only about 200 calories. You would have to walk almost 18 hours to lose a pound of fat. A slice of apple pie requires five hours of walking to work off. A far better exercise is pushing yourself away from the table. Reducing your food intake by 500 calories a day will shave off a pound a week. Or go to work as a lumberjack. ;-) Check out this web site to get the calorie value of an exercise regime: http://www.am-i-fat.com/calorie_calculator.html Larry Z
