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.
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.
