Of course any physical activity is good for you and walking is a good exercise that most people are capable of doing. That being said, walking 8 miles per week is not enough exercise for most, and not nearly enough for weight loss. On average, one burns about 100 calories when walking a mile (give or take depending on weight, body compostition, age, gender and metabolism). Walking 8 miles a week burns about 800 calories, which is equivalent to a milkshake. For most people, burning that many calories in a week will not create enough of a defecit for weight loss. If you chose to use walking as your primary form of exercise, ensure that you are "speed" or "power" walking: walk at a fast pace (at least 3.5 mph) and swing your arms, and aim for at least 3 miles per day.

If josh jogs an average of 8 miles per week for three weeks how many miles will he need to jog during the fourth week to bring his four week average to 10 miles per week?

To find out how many miles Josh needs to jog in the fourth week to average 10 miles per week over four weeks, we can use the formula: Total distance = Average distance * Total weeks. Josh's total distance for the first three weeks is 8 miles/week * 3 weeks = 24 miles. To average 10 miles per week over four weeks, he needs to cover a total of 10 miles/week * 4 weeks = 40 miles. Therefore, in the fourth week, Josh needs to jog 40 miles - 24 miles = 16 miles to achieve an average of 10 miles per week over four weeks.
