Ask Jupiter Personal Trainer, Susan…

Just about every night I walk for about 45 minutes. At first I lost weight, but now nothing seems to be happening. Do I need to increase my walk to an hour?

I do not recommend walking for fat reduction. Only if the person is so de-conditioned that walking alone can put their heart rate over the top. That would be a very sedentary person or a very overweight person. With that exception, I recommend short duration, high intensity exercise which has gained both media attention and scientific validation. No matter what your fitness goals, incorporating a short duration, high intensity workout into your training program will improve your fitness level, keep you young and literally melt the fat off your body.
