It depends on many factors,you can lose similar amount of weight by walking same mile but at different pace.So consider what is your need basically how much calorie you intake a day.Remember you need to burn that much of calorie indeed not to gaiun weight.

Surgeons recommends 30 minutes or more of accumulated moderate intensity physical activity on five or more days per week to improve health and fitness. "Accumulated" means you can do it in shorter bouts throughout the day (for example, 5- or 10-minute intervals throughout the day), and "moderate intensity" means you feel warm and slightly out of breath when you do it.For example:take a walk at lunch instead of food being delivered.

Also recommended is 20-60 minutes of continuous activity, three to five times a week, at 60%-90% of maximum heart rate, and two to three days of resistance training.


  • General health, 20 - 30 minutes most days at a "talking" pace.

  • Weight management, walk for 30 - 45+ minutes at a comfortable pace as many days as possible.

  • Cardiovascular fitness: Walk 20+ minutes at a fast pace, ideally over slightly hilly terrain. At least 3 sessions per week, gradually increasing pace and distance.
