Unscented baby wipes are a sweaty person’s best friend. Put them in the car in a ziplock bag and keep them there.
Aha! Ask the fitness instructor!!
Okay, it will depend upon a lot of things. First of all, at the very LEAST, you will improve cardiovascular fitness from somewhat to greatly depending upon your current fitness level, the pace at which you walk, and the rate at which you increase your pace and time.
What are your goals? What is your fitness level now? What is your fitness history? What is your age? How long has it been since you have worked out on a regular basis? What’s your body type? High metobolism? Or low energy?
For instance, if a person is very fit and slim already and is used to regular and high intensity aerobic as well as weight-training exercise, he/she isn’t going to gain any muscle. And he/she probably won’t lose much fat either (if he/she had any to lose).
If you are moderately fit, but say it hasn’t been terribly long since you were regularly active, but perhaps you now have a few pounds to lose, you will probably notice that this will help a bit, but again, walking doesn’t do anything for increasing muscle. And muscle is where the fat is burned.
At a nice fast pace, you will at least be able to maintain, or increase your cardiovascular fitness level, and potentially lose some fat. Again, it all depends upon where you are starting out.
If you’re somewhat out of shape, with several pounds to lose, you’ll notice a much quicker change, but if you’re female and over 25, you’ll eventually “plateau” depending upon how many fat pounds you had to lose.
If you are around 25 or under and female, you should be able to lose most of your fat, and if you are keeping your diet at a healthy ration of 40/40/20 (lean protein/“clean” carbs/“good” fat), you’ll be able to lose fat fairly easily.
If you’re 25 and over you’ll have an increasingly more difficult time losing fat pounds the older you get. This is because a woman loses about a half a pound of muscle a year after 25 (and a pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day). Once you reach this age (and you probably won’t notice it til your 30s), you’ll need to add weight training in order to get and keep fat pounds off AND keep the muscle pounds. Again depending upon your fitness level, body type etc. Some people are just good burners and are lucky.
For men? They’ve got good old testosterone going for them, they don’t lose muscle at NEAR that rate as they age, and it’s very easy (compared to us) to put muscle on.
Hope this helps some.
Jeez, I’m sorry jjimfor SOME strange reason I thought you were a girl!!!
Scratch all the stuff in my post relating to female muscle loss, but all the rest applies “tweaked” for being a guy of course.
Did you realise that after the “nuts” comment…? 
I walked about a mile and a half in half an hour this morning. (I’ll have to use the GPS to find out how far it really is, but 1.5 or 1.6 is about right.)
I’ve been waking up early recently for some reason, so I may as well take advantage of it – if I don’t get lazy and post here all morning!
Um yeah!!
