[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it satisfies a requirement for really intense exercise that will make you look like a fitness model, but as a whole, walking counts a lot for exercises and is correlated with less obesity. Just look at Europe versus the US. People WALK more instead of drive. People are thinner. Of course diet has something to do with it with portion sizes and all, but this is true within the US as well. Why is there less obesity in DC and New York than in rural West Virginia or more sprawled suburban Texas? Again, walking vs driving. [/quote] Walking is better than sitting on a couch for sure. I know someone who has a dog and won’t walk it so the dog uses pee pads. She’s overweight and has feet problems from all the weight so that makes her less and less willing to walk. She could benefit from walking. Another person I know rescued a dog and was so proud that she was walking it because it was helping her physically and mentally. But she is still fat because she eats too much and relies on “diet food” like fat-free sour cream.[/quote]
