i walk around in heals alot just because they are fun. but i want to know if it is better to walk around lets say the mall in heals or just flipflops or sneakers... because heals are a little harder to walk and run in so do they burn more cals? also if you walk around the mall for one hour in heals how many calories do you burn on average??????????

I think it is about the same, you just use different muscle groups to walk in heels versus flats.

Walking is a better fat burner.  It attacks the fat rather than the sugar.  Be sure to do about 45 minutes of it each time.

look on the package, it should say how many calories. But personally, i think they'll be too many calories, you'd prob have to power walk for at least an hour to burn it off.

You burn calories faster when you have more physical activity. For most people that means more exercise. Aerobic exercise is the best at BURNING CALORIES.  And if you want to lose weight, also cut back on calories...smaller portions, no snacks, no alcohol, cut way back on fats and sugar and white carbohydrates. This doesn't mean doing without. But it does mean learning how to make and eat delicious food that doesn't involve the above. Good luck!

If you really want ot find out, go to the beach or a playground and walk around in the sandbox barefoot for an hour.  If you are not sore as all frakk when you are done, let me know!  I don't own a pair, but they do sound like a legitimate method.

Sure, exercise is very beneficial, even better if you enjoy doing it.  Check the link to determine how many calories you're burning.

You can get the same results as running, if you walk at a brisk pace.  When you are saying you're "stressing out your leg muscles" are they hurting?  Are you just beginning your program?  Consider this: walking for 10 minutes to warm up, then run for 10, walk for 10, run for ten.  Try alternating running and walking, or put the running aside for a week and walk fast for about 30 minutes, you'll get the same results and with no added impact to your knees, legs, feet, joints, back.\n   If you do decide you want to keep running, walk for at least 5 minutes first to get your muscles warmed up.  Starting to run right away without warming them up first can cause some injury to them, and then you're "on break" for awhile.  \nOh and to answer your question (finally!) yes, walking and running every other day will certainly burn fat.    Hope this helps....

for me, jogging begins at 4 mph.\n\nwhen walking, both feet remain in contact with the running surface.\n\njogging on the balls of your feet is better for you.  Also, let your feet touch the surface under your body, not in front of you.\n\nAlso, strike the ground quickly and allow your heal to raise up high towards your butt.\n\nFinally, rather than twist and turn, hold you head up high and keep you shoulders level with the running surface.\n\nI like jogging while watching the morning/evening news on tv.

I'm actually not sure, but I know you burn 1-2 calories a minute when you do nothing and I think curlups and crunches are more of a toning thing not a calorie burner. If you want to burn calories I suggest running/jogging or some other vigorous (however you spell it) exercise.

You will burn between 450 and 500 calories per 2 hour walk, depending on how fast you walk and if there are any hills. \n\nThat alone will take off about a pound of fat (3500 calories) per week. If you are losing more than that it is probably water you are losing.\n\nKeep hydrated - lots of water, you'll flush out any water your body is retaining too, and you'll look less bloated\n\nHow much more you lose will depend on how you reduce your meals. Reducing calories will help, try changing habits all together - eat 5 or 6 small, healthy meals per day, it will kick up your metabolism and you'll lose weight faster. \n\nGood Luck!

Every bodily function burns calories, so it takes a certain number of calories just to stay alive. there is something called the RMR, resting metabolic rate... it is the number of calories you burn in 24 hours just by being alive, as if you were in bed all day doing nothing. I don't recall how it is calculated, but it is based on height, age, and weight. Anything you do, other than lying in bed all day burns more calories than the RMR.  So, for example, I am 23 and 6'0" tall... my RMR is around 1700 calories, so I would only need to exercise and burn 300 more calories to = 2000 calories per day.... do a search for RMR calculator and see how much extra you need to burn to = 2000 calories a day.

I walk around barefoot just because I can. I used to walk around school barefoot a lot and never got into any trouble. I walk around barefoot into places such as the library, post office (just no grocery or resteraunts) et al. I like barefoot. Blessings

I used to work for a podiatrist.  You need to go to your primary Dr.  Tell him your feet are sore.  He will then refer you to a specialist (podiatrist) To be covered by insurance, you need to be refered by your Dr. They will give you a sheet for your Primary Dr. with what they feel you need for shoes...he will sign and return to the podiatrist...podiatrist will then have you fitted(usually at there office) I don't know if you know this but....Being you are diabetic, your insurance WILL NOT REFUSE no diabetic is ever denied.  Diabetics are allowed 1 pair of shoes a year at no charge to you, insurance pays for the whole thing.  Shoes are really nice now.  My Dr. I worked for would only offer New Balance Shoes...nice ones.  Just for the record..I am not diabetic and the only sneaks I wear are New Balance.  These are the only shoes that didn't kill my feet after 4 hrs on them. Hope I helped you...Good Luck

I'm huge, too.  I play DDR, too.  I have a treadmill...  I'm gonna guestimate... I can't.  My pace is slower than yours.  The most I've done was 3mph at the most.   I want to say 6-700 calories... but I don't know.  So don't take my word for it.  I know I burn 550 calories going at 2.7mph with an incline of 5% for 60 minutes. \n\nSo I don't know.\n\nI tried.  and umm... if you have it on workout mode... it should tell you how many calories and should relate those calories to a scale as if you jogged this many miles on DDR.

You just cant walk on your feet anymore without protection. Dont wear binding shoes. Wear loose, air flowing shoes to dry those suckers out! I think you should just see the Doc. because if it is worst case scenerio, then you might have a reaccurring infection that can lead to other problems. Dont pop em, because if they are the size of quarters, it'll hurt like hell! They do prescribe ointments that dry out the skin, relieve pain. I d go for the flip flops and try not to pressure your blisters. Sounds painful, but I hope your pain free!

It's true that you have to burn more calories than you eat to lose weight.  If you eat more than you burn, the excess is stored as fat.  However, you use a fair amount just by normal daily tasks such as walking round, keeping the body warm and alive, etc.  Depending on what you do during the day, you will burn off 1500 calories or more.
