How much walking will make a difference?
Q. I'm overweight! I am 4'11 (basically 5ft) and i weigh close to 195lbs. i was on certian medications throughout the years - that i recently stopped taking- which caused me to gain A LOT of weight. Since i stopped taking the meds, i've lost 20lbs. I'm stuck now. I think the main problem is that I do not get enough exercies. I work at a childcare center, so im constantly moving/running with the kids ... and i park on the 7th floor of the parking garage at school JUST so that i can walk up the stairs when i go back to my car. I need more exercies, but its hard to find time. I want to start walking. I do not want to do weights quite yet because I do have A LOT of muscle.

A. Walking is a GREAT exercise! It's better on your painful knees than running, too. While walking at a slow pace is helpful, it is even better to walk briskly and move your arms at a brisk pace, too. You may not be able to do this for 20 minutes, or so, but try walking fast as long as you can, then slowing down, then walking fast, etc...until you can put in at least 20-30 minutes of brisk walking. You will work up a good sweat and will begin losing weight. I used to run, but my joints can't handle it anymore. Walking is a great exercises. If you have a friend who can do it with you, all the better. My little Chihuahua and I go out everyday. She had a hard time at first, but now out does me by a long shot!

How do you teach two dogs loosh leash walking?
Q. I have one dog who is trained. She walks on a leash beside me and does not pull. I recently adopted a new dog. I have been working with him and teaching him loose leash walking with a clicker and treats. He is doing ok when I walk him alone. The problem is when I attempt to walk both of them at the same time. Total nightmare! They pull at the leash constantly (they are pretty strong together). It makes walking them a chore that I dread. Does anyone have any training tips on how to train two dogs with loose leash walking?
Asked by jeljohns25 - Sun Mar 16 12:11:35 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Continue to train them separately. This is more time consuming but well worth it in the end. Until the new dog is reliable, it will be hard for either one together. You may also want to consider a walking tool for one or both of them and see if that helps when trying to walk them together. You say your first dog is 'trained'. Perhaps she needs more training with a higher level of distraction. If possible see if you can enlist the help of a friend or family member to walk with you to see what happens if you walk the new dog while your accomplice walks the other dog right next to you. You can also use the same methods you use to teach one loose leash walking and apply it to both of them. For example if they start to pull, just stop. Don't… [cont.]

What are the benefits of just walking a normal pace on the treadmill?
Q. I am currently walking on the treadmill for about 45 minutes at a normal walking pace. I have never had so many people fuss at me about how I should run or do this or that. I beleive that it is simply better to be walking at any pace than not move at all! I am 47 years old and want to slowly improve my body, muscles, and work my way up to faster paces and hill climbs. What are the benefits of walking normally?

A. Walking has several benefits. Both my Grandpas walked a lot. One died when he was 87 (but he had diabetes). The othe grandpa is still alive and very active and he is 95. He still walks a lot. However if you want to improve, I would recommend increasing the slope (5-10) degree even if you are just walking at a normal pace. This will increase your heart rate and exercise, and by keeping the same pace you dont risk ruining your joints like some high impact exercises do (running, jump rope etc) Walking is great, try mixing it up with walking in nature, hiking hills, walking up the stairs etc. You will be breathing fresh air and oxygen which is even better for you. Its a great exercise! Good luck!

What can I do to stop walking on my toes in adulthood?
Q. I've recently noticed that every time I get up, I start to walk on my toes. As a child I never walked on my toes. So what has changed to cause this? I know I use to wear a lot of high heels, but now I rarely do because of the type of occupation I have. Could wearing high heels for such a long time and suddenly stopping lead to my current tip toe walking that will eventually resolve itself; or could it be something else. Your answers are welcomed.
Asked by diamond82 - Sun Feb 25 16:07:27 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You should probably add if you can actually walk normally. Can you control the walking on toes? Does it hurt not to walk on them? It could be from wearing high heels so long but if you have a lot of trouble walking normally then you could have a medical problem. Do more walking without the heels on and see if it will resolve in a few months. If not, you should see the doctor.

A. Get an indoor bike, if you ride casual, you will not put to much pressure on your knees - if you can! Diet should be protein based with vegetables. Get some dumbbells so you can do upper body training, shoulder press, arm curls, chest, back, triceps. You could do leg raises, squats using dumbbells in each hand (if you can), sit-ups for stomach.

A. The face harness! Large breed dogs carry most of their strength in their necks/face. It is about $20 at Petsmart and comes in a variety of sizes. It works by pulling the face around if they try to get ahead of you. They don't like getting their face pulled around so once they start to feel it, they'll stop and slow down next to you.I have used it on a Border Collie, Pitbull and Beagle. They won't like it at first but once they get in the groove of walking they won't think about it. I always gave them a treat once it's on so they associated it with something good.

How much friction is best for walking with proper walking shoes?
Q. Should the high or low coefficient of friction be considered best for walking shoes and why? Does it make difference anyway?Thank you very much for your consideration... Will a very high coefficient of friction of shoes make it harder to walk?
Asked by Unknown - Wed Dec 9 20:08:16 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Basically the higher, the better. Think of it in terms of absolutes. If the coefficient of friction was zero, you would not be able to use friction to walk forward at all on a flat surface; you could only move in any direction by pushing off of other surfaces. Shoes with a very low coefficient of friction would be like walking on cooking oil or melting ice. A high coefficient of friction, on the other hand, would only help you in your quest to move forward.

A. Basically the higher, the better. Think of it in terms of absolutes. If the coefficient of friction was zero, you would not be able to use friction to walk forward at all on a flat surface; you could only move in any direction by pushing off of other surfaces. Shoes with a very low coefficient of friction would be like walking on cooking oil or melting ice. A high coefficient of friction, on the other hand, would only help you in your quest to move forward.

If your child was not walking by one year when did they start walking?
Q. Nolan just turned one on Saturday and he has no interest in walking. He scoots on his butt and will stand if you help him to his feet (minimal cruising). My doctor says that as long as he is walking by 15 months she is not concerened. If your child was NOT walking by 1 when did they start walking?

A. Rylee was about 14 months when she decided to start walking. She just wasn't interested in it. She finally got good at it when she was about 15 months. It wasn't that we weren't working with her, she just didn't want to. Plus, I've heard that the longer a baby crawls the smarter they will be. Not sure if this is true for everyone, but I know that my child is very intelligent and I've been around alot of super smart kids. Who knows maybe we are just raising super smart kids these days. Good luck and Happy Birthday Nolan!

How many calories per minute do you burn while briskly walking?
Q. I walked in cold weather, breathed in through my nose and out through my mouth. I was walking petty fast, because it was cold and I didn't want to catch a cold and freeze my hands off while holding my binder. It took me about 10 minutes to walk to my destination. To sum it up (for future references too), how many calories do you burn per minute if you're briskly walking. Please include whether it's per minute, per hour, the total of my 10 minute walk, or what ever unit goes with you number. Thank you =P

A. About five calories.

What are the best things to remember when walking/running for exercise?
Q. I've just started jogging for exercise - actually walking/jogging/running. But I'm not sure how to control my breathing when jogging or running? I'm not exactly even sure how to position my arms? How about stretching before a run? How long should I run for??? In intervals of walking AND jogging?... What are the best things to remember when walking/jogging for exercise?

A. 1) Drink water. Bring a waterbottle when you jog, because dehydration is very dangerous. 2) Stretch. Stretch the legs, but don't forget the upper body. 3) Every few weeks, take a break. Walking is fine, but jogging and running places a lot of stress on the bones and joints. You could get seriously injured if you keep placing stress on your legs by running and jogging - stress-related fractures are rare, but very possible. 4) You don't need to "position" your arms. Whatever's comfortable for you is good. You should be running in a way that feels natural - nothing is forced, nothing is rigidly kept in place. Take a few short runs to figure it out. If you really can't get the mechanics watch some athletes and amateurs training, there are lots… [cont.]
