Would i loose any weight if i walked to and from work everyday (which takes about 20-25mins)??xx or at least tone my legs and bum up?! x

Yes you will both lose weight (unless you eat while you walk!) and tone up.

Start slowly and after a week try and walk quicker.

You'll soon see and feel a difference

How about cycling?

Before I got my parking space at work I used to walk 4 miles a day. It would take me about 50 mins. Toned my legs up nicely.

Go for it.

Nice legs, Tigs!

[tiggerblue10]

Shame about the face ?! Lol

[Panic Button]

Sorry, I've been looking too low to clock your boat race.

[tiggerblue10]

Its usually the bristols area!

I like Bristol. My brother used to live there.

Make the walk an event not a chore. Get an ipod and listen to talking books while you walk. Buy a pedometer (Milletts or Blacks) and it will tell you how many calories you have burned off.

I pound around the cemetery twice every weekend, and with BBC Radio dramatisations running at around 2hrs 20mins that's about 10 miles worth.
