[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not just the number of steps you take, but rather your fitness goals. If your goal is weight loss or cardiovascular, then it's a sustained period of elevated heart rate. For me, 30 minutes of fast walking on an incline will rack up 4,200+, with the incline helping keep my heart rate in the fat burning zone. A leisurely stroll of a couple miles through a level park isn't going to do that much for your waistline....[/quote] If you control your eating, then walking is much better than hard cardio which increases your appetite.[/quote] The reason you need to elevate your heart rate is cardiovascular health. Exercise isn’t really an effective weight loss tool. This is why strength training is better than cardio for losing weight. [/quote]
