Ok, so I just started walking. I decided to walk instead of jog because at my weight I could foresee injury if I jog.

I started walking a mile a day 3-4 times a week 2 weeks ago. So basically I'm just a beginner. My walking path has a good amount of uphill to it. It takes me about 20 minutes to walk the mile.

My shins usually start to stiffen and burn at the 1/2 mile point. I figure that's probably normal and will pass once my body gets used to moving that much without rest in between.

I plan to add some exercises to my routine once I get used to walking (meaning no pain while walking).

Does anybody have advise or tips?
