[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. [b] Cycling is more than double the caloric burn[/[/b]quote]

That might be true but, walking is free and easier than biking.  It is also safer since bikers are killed more by cars.  Sure you could die by walking but, if you stay on the sidewalk it is less likely.  Bikes require maintenance too and sometimes a bike rack if you want to go somewhere else.

All you need for walking is shoes hat and water and good to go.  There is no way I trust drivers around here not to hit me and I don't want to die getting hit by a car.[/quote]
