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.

No. But I live in the city.

Yes. I walk two hours a day every day. It was part of how I lost a significant amount of weight awhile back and kept it off since.

I don't see why it wouldn't be exercise? It's obviously not as strenuous as running or biking for the same amount of time, but I like it because it feels like a pleasure not a chore.

Yes, as long as your heart rate is up, it counts.

Walking to the car- no.
Walking for more than 2 miles for sure!

I remember when I first came to DC, and I lived in an apartment and didn't have a car. Had to walk everywhere. At the time I didn't go to the gym so that was it for exercise. I was shocked at how much weight I lost and the shrinkage of my waistline. So yeah, it's very good exercise!

Any time your body moves you are exercising and burning calories, even if your heart rate doesn’t get very high. However if you want aerobic conditioning you should walk at a fast pace to get your heart rate up.

I do. I just don't modify caloric intake based on walking. If I do a two hour bike ride, I will eat more for the day.

I do. I walk somewhere between 5 and 10 miles a day as my primary form of exercise.

I use my fitbit and use click the "walk" feature and my daily walks which are anywhere from 1-3 miles are counted towards my exercise hours of the week.

Is it false advertising? Would I have exercised if my heartrate did not increase significantly?
