in terms of fitness and cardio

how effective is walking, say, compared to running and cycling.

My mrs often walks (almost power walking)

She lost about 2 stone last year, alongside cutting out a few calories.

Obviously you need to partake in more walking to achieve the levels of cycling/running.

Walking 10k uses the same amount of calories as running 10k.

Nah, your app is wrong, you expend the same energy as you move the same weight/mass the same distance. The only difference is time taken to do so.

I walk 8 miles a day and don't lose weight. I do also eat a lot of crap food and drink a few cans a night

I'd be 20 stone if I had a desk job

Walking is fantastic to be honest. 100 per cent will help lose some body fat and tone up a bit, especially the legs obviously.

Serious, if you run for 20 minutes you will burn more energy than walking 20 minutes because you will obviously have carried you weight/mass a further distance running.

But, if you run 10k you will use the same calories as walking 10k as you have moved the same weight/mass the same distance the only difference is it was done in less time.

Wrong, it's down to the colour of your underpants.

I don't think you can accurately calculate the calories burned. It's just a guess.

Intensity always beats duration. More benefits from a 20 minute blast on a rower/bike compared to an hour walking.

Walking is only exercise for fat people imo

i often walk up the hills and fells round here. any exercise is good for you. fat people who are walking are maybe just beginning to get healthy. shouldn't judge. i was very fat once, id not laugh at people wanting to get healthier and fitter. i know how hard it was.

Great article that and some really interesting info, and I quote...

Walking is a different kind of animal. Increases in walking speed dramatically raise calorie burn per mile as well as per minute. Indeed, at about 12:30 per mile, walking hits a point where it burns about the same calories/mile as running. Walk faster than 12:30 and you will burn more calories/mile than running at 10.00 pace.

....ironically it just proves that anyone can go for a ratch on google etc and find someone or something to back up there argument. Obviously I've quoted the part that backs me up. But you get the idea. I could start chuntering on about if you walk slow enough you could burn even more calories than running. But I won't.

But hey A1EX

right back at you in you black underpants...

Suppose walking can be more beneficial than other things when most people can't even run a mile or do anything else to a half decent standard
