Geez Shib...you weigh less than me...but look nothing like I do
I reccomend you do pushups and situps when you work out. When doing pushups, be sure to place your arms correctly, and go down till you touch the ground with any part of your body. When doing situps, start with Situps, NOT crunches. When doing situps, plant your feet underneath something heavy and firm (Couch, Bed, Dumbells etc) and go all the way up till you either are restricted by your body (stomach) or your arms touch your knees. After you do as many situps as you can (not when you're tired, but when you can' lift yourself up any further), move on to Crunches. With this, lay on your back, with your feel and legs above you, and lift your upper body as high as you can. With situps, you'll probably be able to hit 20-30, with crunches, you should initially aim for 50 (take small breaks to let your stomach rest when it starts to clench, but no longer than 1 minute).
Do this for about 2-3 sets per night. DO NOT PASS THIS OFF AS UNNECESSARY. If you really are serious about a healthy body, please do this. Also, after you do your walking for a few weeks, I reccomend Jogging (however, you can pare than down to 30 minutes, since 30 minutes of Jogging is far more beneficial than 1 hour of walking).
I'd reccomend Free Weights, but you already told me you don't want anything to do with that.
