Will walking 2 mi/day make me drop some weight?
I'm not huge, 230 at 6'6" but I have a sizable (10-15 lb) gut and some A-cup moobs.. healthy range for my height is 186-220 or so, and I'd like to aim for 180-190.
I was working out at one point every day before work and dropped down to 220 but no reduction in gut or moobs. Now I'm working 12 hour days and don't really have a spot for a workout between 5am and 5pm, and not too excited for it after I get home in rush hour.
On the up-side, I can't park anywhere near work because it's so fucking expensive so I'm walking 2mi round trip every day.. 1 mi to work from parking lot, 1 mi back to lot after work.
I am a relatively sedentary computer worker and prior to now walked ~600 feet a day.. between house and car, car and work and maybe around the building to the bathrooms. Will this jump to 2mi/day slowly wittle down my weight if I keep my diet relatively the same? I haven't seen any difference yet but I'm wondering if I keep it up if I can get similar results (down 10 lbs) as I did jogging 30 mins a day in the gym before. It takes me about 25 mins to walk to the 2 miles, so the pace is considerably slower..
