[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]There is no cardio vascular benefit either.[/b] 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] The [b]things you believe are not true[/b].[/quote] Like I said in my open "the way most people walk" as in 20 minute mile pace on flat trails doing 2/3 miles or even more. This does not have any impactful calorie burn or cardio benefit. Sure fresh air helps but do something more challenging to have a caloric burn ( if that is a goal) and all of us need some cardio. The walking that I see people doing absolutely provides 0 cardio benefit. I may wear my heart rate monitor on my next walk just to see how hard I would need to work to get to 100.[/quote]
