[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you so fixated on how other people get their exercise? [/quote] I had an injury/surgery and had to become a walker for a few months. I've gained weight! Still in better shape than all the walkers I see[/quote] I see we are still struggling with the idea that weight gain comes [b]from a calorie surplus [/b] And that generally speaking you have no idea how in shape somebody is based on their physical appearance. [/quote] Op here, yes controlling this is the best way to keep weight down. Thinking your getting any caloric burn benefit from walking is marginal at best. There is no cardio vascular benefit either. Women- Like my lovely wife :lol: who doesn't even need to lose 1 pound need to seek out a cardiovascular workout. ( 20 minutes daily of 80% /max heart rate) Whats the number 1 killer of women?? Heart disease! My rehab from surgery has mostly been done near the bike/walk trail some fit bikers out here, almost 0 fit walkers. Walking works if your old, have other physical ailments, or maybe if you speed walk..other than that I will save my walking shoes for when I am well over 80 but only after I try swimming :P [/quote]
