Well if you walk you should walk at leat 10,000 steps per day.
30 -60 minutes is reasonable
First of all it depends on your age and physical condition. Consult your Doctor. He will probably tell you to exercise an hour a day, three times a week, depending again on the type of exercise.
If you are relatively young and in good health you should exercise 3-5 times a week for 45 min. to an hour. You also want to get your heart rate up to about 75-85% of your maximum predicted rate. To find your maximum predicted HR take the number 220 and subtract your age, that will give you your 100% MPHR, then just take 75-80% of that number.
If you're older or have a strong family history of heart disease you'll first want to see your doctor so they can perform an "Exercise tolerance test". Basically a treadmill test.
Also, get a subscription to Mens Health magazine. The have some really great stuff in there.
