    Yes it will help as long as you don’t pig out on candy bars and junk food in between. Eat healthy foods low in fat and sugar

    Weight loss is all about a calorie deficit.
    Y = Amount of calories burned every day just by living (usually around 2000-2500)
    X = Calories ingested through food
    Z = Calories burned through exercise
    Y < X – Z <–Weight Loss
    So basically, if the amount of calories you take in is less than the amount of calories you burn just by living, you will lose weight. Cardio only helps create a bigger deficit and creates a greater cardiovascuar fitness.

    Yes, and if you have some gentle hills near where you live work up to walking up and down those. You may want to start out this program on level ground though.
