Reply from Hannah, Age 17 - 06/19/07 - IP#: 68.227.170.xxx Any cardio that you do(like running,jogging) will give you a total body workout. That means you will see fat lose all over your body. You legs will be toned and you will lose the fat on your stomach.

Basically, the more you get your heart pumping the more of your body your working. That is what cardio does. As for having an effect on specific parts of your body, it is different for everyone. Since walking involves your legs very much, it is likely that you're legs will shape up. What you should do for now to find out what part of your body you're losing fat from is to measure your waist, hips, thigh, and arm (bicep) to see where you are losing inches. From there you'll know what part walking effects and then find some other work outs for other parts of your body. Good luck! I hope that helps!
