[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to think the way you did, but then I started using my apple watch. A long walk (like 1+ hours) at a moderate pace burns a lot of calories, even if your heart rate doesn't go up that high. So I think walking is a great form of exercise [b]to prevent and maintain weight loss[/b]. It's also great because it's low-impact and doesn't require an special equipment, so it's much more accessible to people in all stages of fitness. Biking, hiking, and swimming all require a lot of additional planning and access to equiptment and transportation. [/quote] your maintaining weight by controlling your diet. Walking is at best 300 calories an hour depending on your size. Cycling is more than double the caloric burn[/quote] But for many people cycling is less enjoyable than walking. Weight maintenance is assisted by engaging in exercise that you enjoy and is appropriate for your fitness level. Yes it’s calories in v calories out but when you’re regularly exercising you’re less likely to eat when you’re not hungry because you’re less depressed and more in tune with your body. [/quote]
