Weight loss by walking
Hi doctor,
I am 36 years old. Having hypertension, high cholesterol and prediabetic.
My doctor suggested me to to brisk walk for 40 minutes a day and lose weight.
I am little lazy to do brisk walk so instead I am doing a walk of about 8kms per day at the rate of 3.3 kms/hour. This walking takes about 2.5 hours a day and easily doable.
Is this the right way or I need to stick with brisk walk only?

If it is easily do able then definitely you are in your comfort zone
And you will not achieve the desirable outcome until and unless you sweat when you do cardio exercises
Do brisk walk, also make sure you keep yourself well hydrated
Drink plenty of water
Do not smoke or drink alcohol
