But since you've only mentioned walking try some variations of intervals. Walk really fast paced for a minute, then one minute normal. Alternate these over 1-2 miles to elevate and maintain a higher heart rate.

Get on a bike. Alternate hard sprints with easy pedaling. Again, keeping your heart rate elevated.

Try walking stairs or walking hills if you can find them. Again, keep your heart rate elevated.


See where I am going with this? You need something to elevate your heart rate a bit more, be higher intensity and burn more calories for you than just walking can at this point.

The majority of people that are successful long term lift weights and do cardio. I’m thinking I probably should do what works for most people. At least until l figure out what works best for me.
