“Is walking enough to lose weight?” – Felicia’sLovingHerLife

This is such a great question and I am so happy to answer it! Walking is a fantastic form of exercise (one of my personal favorites) and offers so many benefits including improved mood, improved cardiovascular fitness, and of course, a way to burn calories. Plus, it’s the perfect place to start a regular exercise routine since you already know how to do it, it doesn’t require any extra equipment and you can basically do it anytime, anywhere.

And while yes, you can lose weight walking, you may want to consider adding a few additional elements to your exercise routine once it becomes a regular habit to both maximize your weight loss and keep your body healthy, fit and youthful. Check out my “Walk On” 3 DVD set for a walking based weight loss workout plan that incorporates all the key elements for a balanced, effective routine.

Jessica- Is it true that it is bad for your joints (too stressful) to use ankle or wrist weights while walking? If not, how heavy would be safe?

Hi Managamasplymiad – great question! Yes ankle and wrist weights can cause stress on the joints which is why I don't recommend them (or walking while holding dumbbells). Instead, try our Stride and Strength walks which alternate strength with walking intervals for maximum, safe results  🙂

I didn't know that jumping made a difference in bone density. I like some jumping because it gets my endorphins going. I love how you have small bursts in your videos, so that I can keep up! Thanks for the info!

I love your Walking DVD's, especially the Stride&Strength is my favourite, to combine Cardio and Strength training. Would be great if you make more of them 🙂 Could you also combine Kickboxing with Strength intervals? Or maybe did you already (and I didn't find them)?

My set arrived this week. Starting tomorrow. My only question is, are there plans for more Step and Stride workouts using the step bench. That one is my favorite!

Hi Jessica, I have had a hip and knee replacement and am not allowed to do anything like jumping.  I also have Cerebral Palsy (mild) and since my surgeries I have not regained my balance. I want to regain balance so I do not have to use a treadmill.  What, if anything, can you suggest.

I do very much like your approach to working out, thank you for making it fun (especially with Peanut involved).

Hey Jessica, I have a question. I did two workout programs from Jillian Michaels back in April & May. They were both 30 day programs & basically after completing them, none of my pants were fitting anymore, & I normally wear a size 7-9 pant. So, of course realizing these workouts pretty much bulked me more than I wanted, I was really, really disappointed because now my clothing does not fit like it was fitting prior to those workouts. I basically put back on the 8 pounds I lost prior to these, which was devastating, even if it is just muscle. I used to do a lot of cardio, strength, HIIT, & pilates workouts prior to these, & was lean & fitting into clothing I couldn't before. But now I'm afraid that if I start doing HIIT & Strength, the muscle might just increase. Do you have any suggestions or tips on how to slim down the muscles in my hips, thighs & obliques so I can possibly fit back into my clothing again? I'm really struggling with this, & it's really kind of getting me down.

Hi, Jessica, how would you classify walking/power walking/noridic walking in terms of activity level for calorie counting? Say, if a person has a structured workout 6-7 days a week and walks most days of the week as well, how active are they? If a person walks daily making those 10000 steps, which activity level is that? etc. Thank you again for your spirit of wellness)

Thanks for the advice! I love being able to get in a nice walk when I can, and work out with you the other days! Really try to follow your schedules with the right mix of cardio, strength and stretching. Thanks for all that you do!

I love your walk workouts. I'm very anaemic at the moment, my iron level in 4 🙁 so I get out of breath easy but I do toning/ yoga and walking workouts to keep me in shape. The fatigue and pains have made heavy cardio impossible at the mo

Love that you include your mom in some of your videos. I am 44 yo and it is inspirational to see someone who is a little older doing the workout.
