Hey there. Ask away whatever you want answered and I'll do my best. Please avoid unconventional capitalization and spelling - it makes the questions harder to read and so I'm less likely to answer.

I'm 14/f, and want to tone my thighs/abs for the summer. Since I don't exercise that much, I thought maybe I could start walking.
Does walking burn a lot of calories? I'm not lazy, but I don't want to waste all that time walking if it wont work, when I could be doing something else instead. How long should I walk for each day to make a difference? Thanks ;D (link)

Use the activity calc for however fast you're walking.
Now, answering without the website. yeah, it burns calories. Not nearly as many as we'd like though...your best option would really be to use the treadmill and walk at a power-walking pace on a slight incline. Start with maybe 10 min of just the power-walking for a week or so, Then do 20 min power and see if you can add an incline. (yeah, muscles will hurt...but it's all good). If you don't have a treadmill/access to one, plan a route around your neighborhood area and make sure it has a couple hills, even small ones.
