[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walking burns more calories than sitting on the couch. It’s all about your frame of reference.[/quote] I think that's it. If you're someone who's really fit already, walking isn't going to challenge your body in any meaningful way. But if you're not already fit, walking could make a difference.[/quote] This isn't necessarily true. I'm a fit person (triathlete, endurance runner). I started walking for my mental health during the pandemic and have actually noticed a big difference (shaved off that last 5 lbs over the span of 9 months without trying). I'm burning an extra ~500 calories per day walking (8-10km), and it's low intensity enough that I'm not starving and tired the way running an extra 10km per day would make me. OP, walking burns plenty of calories. It depends on weight and speed, but I burn about 75% of the calories per mile compared to running - it's nothing to scoff at. Your HR doesn't get as high, but it's absolutely burning calories and conferring many of the same benefits as other forms of exercise. But also just... stop judging people who are getting out there and trying to improve their health? You're wrong and rude.[/quote] x1000000000[/quote]
