Walking to Lose Weight
How can you use walking to lose weight you may ask? After all, it may not seem to burn very many calories. Many of those - "if you aren't sweating and vomiting, you aren't really exercising" people dismiss walking as pointless.
Running, jogging, weight lifting, calisthenics may all burn more calories per hour, but you have to fit them into your life AND persevere AND be relatively fit to start with to get the effects. They may be great calorie burners, but walking is still the most simple, and effective, of all exercises to lose weight and stay in shape.

Running to Lose Weight
Running to lose weight can be a powerful option if you enjoy it. In particular, running can reduce stress hormones like cortisol - a big culprit in abdominal fat. The purpose of cortisol and adrenaline, released during the fight/flight response is to give us the resources to get away from that tiger (or whack him). Yet in modern society, what usually stresses us are the things we can't run away from or whack. So the cortisol takes longer to diminish. Running sends your body the message that you have gotten away and it is safe to calm down.
