[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I log it, but it barely counts as exercise for me. My heart rate rarely breaks 100, and it burns so few calories. In 30 minutes of running I'll burn 300 calories, but just 90 calories in 30 minutes of walking. Walking is fine for joints and circulations, but it doesn't do jack for my heart or energy expenditure. [/quote] THIS. If you are under 80 and weigh less than 250 lbs walking for fewer than 3 hours is not really exercise. Babies walk, people in their 90s and older walk. Exercise has to include an element of challenge. [/quote] No it doesn’t. Comments like these just convince overweight people not to bother. According to Lose it, I’m eating to lose 1/2 lb per week. I’ve been losing about 1 pound instead. It’s the random little walking and housework throughout the day that adds up. I’m nowhere close to 250 pounds. [/quote]
