What is the best?

Which one is easier for you to do? Which one will *you* be able to stick to?
In the beginning that is the one that is best.

Hi,

I'm re-starting LC and walking and i was wondering what is the best:

walking 30 min 2 times/day
or walking 60min 1time/day

Does it do the same thing on the body or not? Hum?
Thanks!

I think the best one is whichever one you are more likely to do.

Exercise raises your metabolism for something like 12 hours. Exercising twice
a day will keep your metabolism chugging along real nice. You might try both
if it is convenient and see if it speeds your weight loss.

It depends on how big your block is 😉. Choose a course that isn't
out-n-back or repetitive; around the block is better than having to
turn around at some point (because you can always turn around sooner.

Our block is 15 miles, so we don't have that option :-P

I've heard some folks say that it takes 20 minutes of light exercise
before your body really starts burning fat. This wasn't specific to
LC, so it might be irrelevent here, but all else being equal (which it
rarely is), that might indicate that the 60x1 option is slightly
better, because you only have one warmup period instead of two.

But most importantly is this: do the one that you will not give up on!
Any exercise is better than no exercise.

I tryed the Suzanne Sommers diet at first. I didn't get much luck. Was too hard
to follow the rules of the book. I find Atkins works for me so far. Though I
had to twist the diet around in certain ways, to best fit me. Thats why I like
it so much I think.

Maybe go to a library, see if you can browse the different books for low carb,
WOE. Write down the good parts of the books, weigh it out in your mind, or even
on paper.. Which diet would likely suit you. Like the pros and cons.

Mix it up, why don'tcha? One day walk for an hour, next day break it
up! See how your schedule plays out - you might not be able to commit
to a one-hour block of time each and every day.

Bottom line is that you're walking. Get your heart rate up to your
target heart rate and keep it there for a minimum of 20 minutes.

Personally, I stick with a one-hour blast workout per day, only because I
hate having to redo my hair and makeup. I'm more likely to get myself into
a real sweat if I know that I can just go and hit the shower...but if I'm
already cleaned and beautified for the day, I would end up exercising
carefully as to not break into a heavy sweat and look terrible and stink the
rest of the day.

Getting cleaned up twice a day is too much trouble for me.

Plus, I really start to notice kind of a "fire" in me once I'm into the
second half-hour of my workout. I'm not sure how to describe it, other than
I fell like I'm really working hard and doing something good for myself.
Endorphins? Someone who knows more about fitness might be able to explain
it better. The "fire" is even stronger now that I've added strength
training.
