Yeah so hm today I discovered that cardio is a scam. They tell you that walking 1km at good walking pace (5kmh) make you spend 80kcal (for example). But they fail to tell you that you would have spent half of that anyway by just existing. So you only actually spend 40kcal for 1km walked. 400kcal for 10km walk. Lmao.Walk for 2 fucking hours, only spend 400kcal extra kcal, be tired and hungry as fuck for the rest of the day. in before>walkYes, its the best cardio, low impact, you can do it everyday.
Nah i like to eat and im not cutti g more off my cut.Also i dont do it to lose weight.
>>76729952Yeah, gym machines also scam you in that they add your BMR into what they measure, so people get tricked.Worse, they're usually calibrated for fat retards, so it looks like the number is bigger than it should be because it thinks fat albert is doing a half marathon
>>76729952>Walking is a scamHow very American
>>76729952you don't do cardio to lose calories you fucking retard
>>76729952>Walk for 2 fucking hours>be tired and hungry as fuck for the rest of the day.American, huh?
>>76729952You made this thread already. How many times are you going to make it?
>>76729968The thing is, you have no proof for this because you made it up entirely.
>>76729952Nigga, if you consider 5kmh rooning, i have bad news for you
>>767299522 choices:>walk for 2 hours>see nature>listen to music or podcast>cardio vascular health gains>release endorphins>clear your mind>feel happy>burn 400 calories that you can either choose to use as weight loss or as an opportunity to indulge in 400 calories worth of delicious foodor>stay inside like you've done for the other 22 hours of the day jerking off and reading pointless rage bait on 4chanseems like an easy choice to me.
>>76730839I stay inside. Thanks for the tip
>>7672995210 minutes of landmine circuits is enough to keep me in boxing shape. Not competitive shape by any means, but good enough that if I take a month or two off and show up to boxing class again I can put in a few good rounds of work and quickly get my movement back.Literally just boxer squats 10 or 20 reps on one side, 20~ reps of core rotations, 20~ reps of unilateral presses, repeat, alternate, integrate. Squat, rotate, fire the press from the rotated position, shift a step sideways, repeat. Whatever mimics boxing output for 10 minutes. You don't need more than this for cardiovascular health unless you live an extraordinarily sedentary life.
>>76730773Look up how to change the settings on gym machines. It's easy to do for life fitness or matrix if you know the model.You'll see that the default user is a lardass.You have the option to set your weight and gender when you start using these, but not if you just slam the "go" button.
>>76729952It's a scam for losing weight, just like everything else that isn't just eating less. The time it takes every day to weigh your food and count your calories is less time than it takes to run a mile. One will be insanely more effective for weight loss. Running is still fun as fuck though. Wish it was nicer on the body.
>>76729952>theyWho's they?
>>76731807Thanks for proving my point. I accept your concession. Please avoid spreading misinformation that you just pull out of thin air on the fitness board in the future. Thanks.
>>76731892Sorry bro did you want a peer reviewed study on what the average settings are on these machines?I'll get back to you in two weeks.
>>76729952ah common misconception! You did a subtraction where you were supposed to do addition! Good luck with 3rd grade bro!
>>76731898I'm sorry you can't let it go that you got totally called out on BSing on this board. The discussion is over. You were given an opportunity to bolster your point with evidence and instead you gave a Google it response. Very sad. I'm not going to reply further. Have a good day.
>>76731903nice aislop response
if you don't, your body will do useless things with the extra energy like inflammation or autoimmune diseaseyou could lift too but you have to do something
>>76729952walk
>>76729952>walk for two hours>be tired and hungry as fuckbro you're an inanimate object shaped like a chair. Of course walking a little is going to be unpleasant for you. But a two hour walk is supposed to not even register as exertion.
>>7673190395% of this board is bullshit my guy, that's mostly why we're all here.
>>76731852Nobody naturally has any idea how much kcal is spent for exercices. YOu need to look it up, to ask people, these people are "they"
>>76732010>two hour walk is supposed to not even register as exertion.Depends at what speed. At 5/6kmh its above average speed
>>76732086I would go to a better place to discuss fitness if i knew of one. Nit a big fan of reddit format.
>>76731899Nah, I did an addition instead of substration. I did bmr + cardio.Not knowing the kcal burn in cardo, well a huge part of it was already in my bmr
You could run 100 meter sprint with maximum power. This will burn calories 100 times faster than stupid run or walk,
>>76732116doubt
>>767299525km an hr is slow as fuck, thats a leisurely stroll, not even a 100 calories in 10 minutes
>>76729952i did 5k running for 2 years mostly to beat depression and still got btfo by playing hoopers who hoop 2-3x a week, halfcourt i think intensity matters somewhat and skills are the number one factor
>>76729952Walking is for people who have way too much time (me) or people who are too fat to do regular exersize. It's often used as an excuse by unhealthy people who say walking 10 mins to the krispy kreme is good exersize.>low impactSure, but so is cycling, and it's way more effective. You can also mitigate high-impacts in some exersizes by using good form, like landing softly in plyometrics (god-tier exersize)
>>76732446
>>76729952MET of moderately-paced walking compared to sitting on your fat ass is 4:1. A two-hour walk is an extra 500 calories burned for a 200lbs fatty. If you do it every day, that's about 50lbs of calorie deficit per year. It adds up.(Put down the fucking donut btw.)
>>76729952>walking>cardioTry running, you disgusting fat piece of shit
>>76729952best cardio is>kb swings>muay thai>sex with OP's mom
>>76733128For an obese person, walking is as good as running. Plus, his knees would explode.he can run when he's human-sized again
>>76732088Retard take
>>76729952Powerwalk and do arm flails with tiny weights in your hands.
>>76733128>>76733590I'm human size and I refuse to roon. Rooning is for normies. They like to dress up and roon.I walk in normal everyday clothes and talk to the cute girls I see. Deal with it.
>>76733822Sprinting is based, running is gay.
>>76729978Where I live in Thailand no one walks. I walk an hour to the city and people think I'm some sort of hero for doing that
Walking is unironically, undoubtedly, emphatically, unresoundingly, blatantly, boisterously, undisputedly GOATED when it comes to exerciseIt has a multi-pronged approach wherein it encourages people to slow down a bit (heh) and process how their lives and days are going. It's an opportunity for self reflection and to also encourage healthy bodily functions and hormone releasesIt is low impact and low stakes so you can easily walk 1-2 hours a day and whats more is you can fit walking into your daily routine so you can walk to the store or walk to work or walk to the library to study for a better lifePeople who think walking is bad are people that are too lazy to bother reading up on why its so overpowered. Probably powershitters with diabetes
>>76732423this happened to me, with some normie npcs to add to the embarrassment from the office who played ball all the time. so i started mixing in sprinting. they're all fat now from working from home for 5 years and not having the gym we had at work and i can run/sprint anywhere anytime.
