Is walking adequate cardio?

[Deleted member 756]

I am losing weight by eating less and walking. Is walking briskly good enough cardio?

 

[Wallenberg]

Yes but calorie balance is what matters. Losing weight without cardio is very possible too. Have you ever lifted?

 

[NoPainNoChick]

Why walk when you can run?

I do weights 2-3 times a week at height. I have dumbbells

Im too fat atm

 

[Mr.cope]

no you lazy fuck
running or jump rope

 

[Ocelot]

yeah it adds up if you incorporate walking/standing instead of sitting during the day
brisk walking is a decent way to start by not putting excess pressure on joints

once you've lost a lot of weight, you can switch to running which will increase the calories you burn from cardio for the same duration

Are you still as fat as last time I saw pics of you, cuddling in bed with that Korean chick IIRC?

Going fully vegan has made it easier to eat more with less calories too

 

[Soalian]

No

Walking hardly burns any calories:​

"A rule of thumb is that about 100 calories per mile are burned for a 180-pound person and 65 calories per mile are burned for a 120-pound person."​

And after you finish walking your body will make you hungry and you will probably just reconsume those calories that you lost.​

Its also not very efficient for muscle building​

 

[Deleted member 11053]

You need to run

 

[Soalian]

Like 35

Ok, how much is your end goal, under 15%?

I don’t eat after I walk I just drink lots of water

Yeah but in stages. Atm my short term goal is 30, then 25, etc

yes because beware loose skin if weight loss is too brutal.

I am aware but in the uk they remove it for free

 

[lutte]

I think so
anyway cardio doesnt matter that much compared to diet and walking is much more enjoyable

Depends where you live.

Not so great when you live in the middle of a polluted city.

do you live in paris? anyway I've never lived in a city bigger than 500 000, I still liked to walk around there in the urban area

 

[Deleted member 12146]

Yes as long as u do enough Steps

 

[mgtowmadness]

Yes it does I do high intensity low impact 30 mins a day

 

[Dainslief]

Yes, I went from 78kg to 72kg in one month walking 3 hours a day, whilst doing no other exercises.

Taking niacinamide, aspirin or vitamin E (pufa free) will also reduce aging effects from lipid peroxidation (burning stored polyunsaturated fats).

Can I message you bro?

At your weight running will hurt your joints. Walk and eat less for now.

 

[mgtowmadness]

This is a good cardio routine..I am 43 do this everyday..Start slow build up

 

[quakociaptockh]

The best cardio in terms of time spent is cycling. You burn more in 1 hour cycling than 1 hour running. You can do interval on a cycle too.

But in terms of overall growth running is better, as it involves all muscles.

 

[Deleted member 8016]

Try swimming, plus your fat will help you to stay afloat

 

[Deleted member 756]

Im not incel so why would i rope

I like Indians, one of them is a friend of mine, they are among the nicest people in the World I think,

now, how that @MakinItHappen guy comes across, I don't want anything to do with him,

IDK why he seems to have such a chip on his shoulder, he could easily be slaying rn I think, what is he even doing dissing left and right on this forum?

To start with. As you lose more you will need to increase it tho

 

[Dainslief]

Few others things that i would suggest when losing weight (that I wish I knew before going from 98kg to 72kg):

1)keeping a 1:1 calcium to phosphate ratio, prevent bone loss, keeps parathyroid hormone low (high PTH causes soft tissue calcification).

2)taking bicarbonate of soda before workout, bicarbonates acts as a buffer to prevent the body from having to use bone calcium to balance metabolic acidosis due to lactic acid production from exercising.

3)avoid all grains, too high in phosphorus, anti-nutrients, round up, estrogenic, endotoxin promoting, keeps insulin elevated to long.

Root vegetables like baked sweet potato, and nixtamalized corn (high in calcium and bioavailable b3), raw sprouted lentils/chickpeas and other microgreen sprouts are good sources for carbohydrates and protein.

4)keep polyunsaturated fat intake very low, ideally < 4g. Pufa slows down thyroid function, promotes weight gain, estrogenic, cancer promoting. Stearic acid in saturated fats like cocoa butter and dark chocolate promote fat loss, lean muscle gain and prevent saggy skin.

5)nasal breathing only, mouth breathing blows out too much co2. High lung and blood Co2 is needed for optimal cellular oxygenation, as co2 releases oxygen from hemoglobin.

How much should I walk?

 

[Deleted member 10709]

How much should I walk?

3/4 times a week I'd say, for about 30 odd mins

 

[Deleted member 756]

And do weights too?

 

[Deleted member 10709]

I would, but its up to you

 

[Chinacurry]

Are you still as fat as last time I saw pics of you, cuddling in bed with that Korean chick IIRC?

Wtf u r fat and got a Korean chick? Don't they all want 8% bf Jay Park or Jungkook?? Pics???

 

[jake_okok]

yea it is

 

[Chinacurry]

On walking, yes, walk fast, on an incline ideally over 10% for as long as you can, that is good low LISS, will defo lose u weight.

As the weight starts to drop add some compound moves with dumbbells or kettlebells in.

MOST important is calories and macros, and believe me doing both is hard. Limiting calories is easy, but with fucked macros, hitting macros is easy, but then your calories blow up.

Master this, keep consistent, and if u r legit fat fuck, u will see big difference in 4 weeks.

One warning, it has to get worse before it gets better. When a fat fuck first loses weight he looks worse, because there is less fat, but your body distribution and lipid density is shit, you need to get past that phase before u start looking good.

Oh and don't cut calries too much, I did it, and it fucked me cos my metabolism slowed down and I gained weight eating 1200 calories a day fml
