Is walking underrated? It doesn't interfere with lifting recovery and still burns calories

All fitness influencers should be disemboweled then made to Walk To Get To 10% Body Fat (My Walking Routine) (4 Reasons I Do Walking) (The Truth).

walking is currently overrated among /fit/izens

just do rucking instead

>>76691665
It's overrated, to burn any meaningful amount of calories you have to walk for hours
>>
Scientifically the greatest exercise you can possibly ever do. Humans were created to be on their feet the whole day, not sitting your fat ass behind a screen

Are these "humans" in the room with us?

Walking is awesome. I won't elaborate further. Thank you.

The graph compares benefits vs the average American, and the average American sits on his fat ass all day

Walking is overrated. I suppose it depends on your lifestyle, but I get 7k or so steps a day without even trying.

Walking might be good if it's the only hope you have of getting cardio done, but for someone who is already fairly active walking does fuck all.

>I get 7k or so steps a day without even trying.
Why is this an argument for or against walking being rated incorrectly?
>>
the real trick is to do both walks and runs

walking IS low test tho

i love running. but running increases hunger. 10k steps dont. its also extremly easy to incorporate into your daily life.

10ksteps is the most convenient add on to cico based fatloss.

Underrated? It's a basic human movement. You aren't just sitting on your ass all day are you?

Yeah let me just walk 8 hours every day haha. Get on a bike ya goober

Hell yes it is.
I let myself go in my early 20s when I was in a long term relationship + heavy alcoholism, and once I started trying to lose weight walking was the best thing ever.
It was instrumental in me losing like 70lbs.
When cutting I feel like total fucking garbage wether I’m at a 200 calorie deficit or a 1200 calorie deficit, it’s the exact same.
Sedentary stuff like watching media or playing vidya becomes impossible because I can literally only think about how hungry I am, constantly.
For whatever reason, that feeling goes away when walking.
Fork putdowns are undoubtably superior for losing weight, but combined with walking, one becomes unstoppable.
Your body burns a shit ton of calories just by existing, yet RUNNING FIVE FUCKING MILES only burns like 400 calories.
There is no way you’re going to “exercise off” whatever guilty snack you treat yourself to.
The secret isn’t exercising more, it’s just staying busy while you’re starving.
Walking is goated and allows you to take a beat and ponder life’s greater questions while listening to your preferred music.
+ it’s free.
Love it.
Recommend it to everyone.

Because the amount of walking needed to reach the documented health benefits from it, is extremely easy to meet If you do any sort of walking during the day.

Not to mention unless you're nearly jogging, walking won't do anything for your actual cardiovascular fitness.
>>
>>76692251
>counting in steps
Just count the distance, The shuffling you do in line at a supermarket doesn't count as walking.
>>
>>76692310
I find walking is a phenomenal appetite suppressant. If I go for a walk after breakfast, I am not hungry until supper, and satisfied with a normal meal.

walk with purpose of walking for couple dozens of minutes with long stride and good posture
step counters do not register quality of steps
then it's the best for cardiovascular health, nothing better will ever be devised

Walking on the beach shirtless, barefoot, in jeans, apparently.
Anyways walking is not particularly useful for fitness. It's great for your mood though. I have taken so many walks while being in a poor mood and returning feeling good.

Running burns calories
Walking burns fat - simple as.

I tried to outwalk a bad diet with 20,000 steps a day and it didn't work. Just saying.

You probably stopped after the first sentence, keep reading a little farther.

>>76691718
>Instead of this simple easy thing, "just" do this more complicated completely different thing
Tough sell here
>>
>>76693703
the question is HOW bad the diet is.

if you are 1000 kcal above the maintenance 20k steps wont help neither.

people dont get the main thing is a caloric deficit - the walking is a supplement to the mainthing.

It did for me. I was on vacation and naturally was eating out multiple times a day. But I was also walking ALL day. At the end of the trip I had actually lost weight. The real shocking thing about that was that I was already shredded and had hit a plateau on a (strong) deficit + cardio + lifting. In fact I added cardio hoping to overcome the plateau but it did nothing so I almost wrote it off for calorie burning. But the trip made me reconsider.

That being said nobody except NEETs or faggot influencers (aka NEETs) has the time to walk 2 hours a day so it doesn't really matter how great it is.
>>
>>76691665
Like most things, people have to turn them into something they are not. Walking is not a miracle activity, nor is it useless. I would say for people who want to lose fat or gain energy, it is a very simple way to assist that, but has to be a part of other activities.

I will say this. And I have found this with myself and with other people. If a person want to improve their life, or get it moving in the right direction, or break some bad habits; a person should look at walking and reading as much as possible.
>>
>>76691723
Just as nature intended
>>
>>76692312
What does the difficulty (or lack thereof) of the posted benefits have to do with the effects being overrated or not? I feel like you just wanted to brag about your healthy lifestyle rather than contribute meaningfully to the discussion
>>
>>76694308
Because this is a fitness board.
Assuming you're a healthy adult, and not a fat fuck, walking is just a part of daily life. If you do any sort of actual cardio work, walking does fuck all.
>>
Best thing you can do for yourself health fitness mindfulness wise, but walking alone isn’t going to get you shredded or 10% bf it’s best when combined with weight lifting
>>
>>76694363
>If you already exercise, exercise is useless
Thanks Anon for your great insight. We get it, you are very healthy and noble, and you already walk enough from your extremely difficult life. We should all bow and learn from you
>>
>>76693954
I don't get it. Please explain.
>>
>>76691665
I can't imagine walking enough to get "shredded" is good for all the joins you're using. Your hips especially. Young people think cartilage will last forever, but every step you take wears it down a little more - even if you're fit. You should treat every movement you make as if it was the last one before you start to feel a numb pain for the rest of your life and ask yourself if it's worth it.

right, make it 2 hours a week, one hour a week - it's always sth ridiculous with u bot that once u add up ALL the requirements u put on unsuspecting reader with ur fake robotized blabblerings there's not enough hours in a day lol :D
>>76693602
walking is awesome, even more so when u LEARN to walk with good posture and the muscles u're supposed to walk with
>>76689692
and yes hypertrophy like heel-hgook for gastrocnemius makes it that much more easier and better

walking isn't as seamless or noneventful as one presumes, good walking with long stride, extended thoracic, diaphragmatic breathing - u literally have to train it to get good at it, and yes sport walking videos are good start to think about it
>but it looks like bunch o sodomites
it does but it's agriculturally overblown - u do however need some degree of hip sway for longest and most comfortable walking stride
