you'll want to do more or step up the level of intensity of your walks. Why should you hold back, if you feel like it? Once you get to the point where you're walking at a reasonably good pace and feel ready, You may be ready for jogging. After that, the sky's the limit.

There should be no excuse for you to not walk a short distance daily. No matter how busy you may be, you can surely find 10 minutes here and there for a quick walk. Another possibility is to join a gym and use their treadmills for a half hour or so each day.
