Look for a threaded rod with an adjustment nut at the point where the lower rod connects to the upper one. You can adjust the length of the linkage by turning the nut clockwise -- to shorten it -- or counterclockwise with pliers. If the nut is stuck, hold the rod steady with a second pair of pliers while you turn it. Lengthen the rod if your tub doesn't have a stopper and it isn't holding water.
A 200-pound person burns about one-third more calories than a 150-pound person.) So a brisk walk, covering three-and-a-half miles in an hour, burns about 280 calories. When repeated each day, this excellent habit burns about 3,900 calories -- more than a pound of fat -- every 2 weeks.
1 Mile walked = 100 calories burned. 1 Pound = 3500 calories. 2 Pound weight loss per week = 7000 cal, or a 500 cal deficit per day. 1 Pound weight loss per week just by walking = 5 extra miles walked per day-or 7,500 extra steps (in addition to the distance that you are currently covering while maintaining weight). Pound weight loss per week with diet changes and walking combined = 2.5 extra miles walked per day (3750 extra steps), and 250 calories less consumed per day, for a total daily caloric deficit of 500 calories.
