Do you count walking as exercise?

[Anonymous]

No I do not. But I also exercise intensely so anything leisurely like walking does not even feel like exercise at all to me.

I power walk at 15 4.2 speed for thirty minutes and it’s a killer workout.

I lift and do hard cardio a few times a week, but walking 10K is the foundation of my health.

Meant to add, NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) accounts for the bulk of your calorie expenditure. So whether it counts as "exercise" or not seems besides the point, it's a key part of the baseline for good health.

Any movement is better than sitting!

Remember, sitting is the new smoking. It's killing us faster than smoking ever did. Those who sit too much have a 147% increased chance of cardiovascular issues.
