Weight loss specialists often advise patients who want to walk to lose weight to aim to move for 30 minutes at least four or five times a week. Many people are able to cover about 2 miles (about 3 km) in this amount of time, and the calorie burn is significant, too.
Walking to lose weight is cardio exercise (mild cardio). How long you should walk depends on several things, including how fast are you walking. Commonly an average person will burn as many calories walking one mile as running one mile. It is the same distance but one is a shorter cardio workout at a higher rate and the other is a lower rate but for a longer duration.
