I do it because I cant sit down and think, I subconciously start walking up and down. Walking around isnt a sport activity, its a natural state for a physically normal human.
Yeah that’s kinda what I mean. We’re supposed to be walking the majority of our day, and that’s downplaying it. Diet aside I think humans should be spending 90% of their day walking around. And that it would alleviate most of if not completely fix some of the current health issues we see today. I hate how most jobs are sitting down but even as a neet I find myself laying around and sitting most of the day.
Tru tru. I personally feel uncomfortable after sitting a while. I can feel like the blood all pooled up at my legs uncomfortably and I've to walk to pump it up. Idk how people manage to sit down for entire day(s). When I do that I feel incredibly depressed.
>sit all day become depressed
Exactly. Ultimately the goal is fixing that. I believe 50% of my depression and anxiety is due to a combo of because I grew so out of shape and weak and also the brain knows if it’s body is doing what it’s supposed to. I feel like we perform our best, mentally speaking, when we are suing our bodies how it’s meant to be used. Lifting, cardio, etc. No human being shouldn’t be able to even rub half a mile… we should be capable of doing around 5 at an absolute minimum without really training for it. Walking around all day should just be a given.
I just walked 5 minutes the rowed for 10. That’s not much but I’ll try for a 30 minute row session later after a doctors appointment. I already feel way better than I have since waking up. In my experience when I was run/walking 6-10 miles a day + on my feet most of the day I was the happiest most clear headed and focused and driven and productive I’ve ever been.

I’ve (normal weight) started going on the treadmill every day for an hour. My endurance was so shit I had to start at 2.5 speed. Two weeks later I’m up to 3.6 speed for an hour
I wish I still had a treadmill. It has a time and place and being obese and extremely out of shape is definitely it. It makes it easy to progressive overload yourself into shape. Start at 2.5, next week do 3, until you’re walking an hour at 4. Then start doing bits of running during your hour and increase the amount you run until you’re running an hour. Take it outside after that.
If I wasn’t broke I would buy a new one just to put anime on and zone out. Makes losing fat effortless. But I may have a fucked up walking gate because they all start slipping after I’ve used them enough and no amount of tightening fixes the problem long term.

I have an autoimmune issue so my progress is going to be slower. I’m still aiming for 5 speed eventually
I agree 100% though. I feel emotionally so much better when I go on the treadmill + walk around some of the day

Just a pro tip to potentially feel even better, take a cold shower before you walk. No warm water just freezing cold jump right in and let it hit all over your body for 5-10 minutes.
I would do that, walk/lift, then take another after at my old peak. It felt amazing.

I'm guessing he suffers from rheumatoid arthritis. You will never build a tolerance for cold showers with that. If anything a warm shower is good because it relaxes the muscles and joints.

In a healthy individual but if you have bad joint pain you will get out of that shower and have to wrap yourself in a blanket cacoon trying to warm up, aching all over with a headache. Warm showers with stretching is amazing on the other hand.
This, I got a new engineering wagie job that requires a lot of walking on the floors back and forth and I enjoy it, I also go out to the boneyard outside to pretend like I am looking for something when I am actually just getting more steps in and meditating, I found that I fall asleep a lot better when I have walked around a lot that day
I moved to a neighbourhood where nobody knows me and I'm moving again next year anyways, so I just do whatever I always wanted in public with no shame. Everyday I go for a jog and sing along to what I'm listening to screaming at the top of my lungs. Recently been on a DMX kick and my neighbours give me the stink eye every time they see me now.
if thats something what would be required of me to put in an hour of physical activity, sure
humanity has devolved through the innovations of cars and communication allowing us to thrive in front of a desk
the human dna changes through lifestyle, diet and physical activity even if we know little to how much of an impact it has
but give that fact several generations worth of degraded dna being passion from one generation to the next and so on
if youre limited by working from home with little free space to move or something similar, start investing in cables and make the most of what youve got
I work remote and I walk around my house nonstop. Only time I sit at my desk is for meetings or for the little work I do. I’ll lay down and read a book if I get tired of pacing lol.
for me its not about exercise, I cant just it on my ass all day and do nothing. in fact, modern society offers little in the way of real movement so I just get it out here at my house to kill time - being in thought while be in motion.
>retarded sub 3 years of lifting newbie exposes himself
Not only did I very fucking clearly state throughout half this thread it’s an overall lifestyle thing to avoid being a lazy gay, but for a fat fuck walking actually is exercise. Stfu and post body w/timestamp you geek

The vast majority of people are lazy and weak man. Some losers would rather “hahaha that’s not exercise it’s pointless to do!” Just to justify to themself why they spent their day playing warhammer and watching anime at their coom station on their ass. That’s fine if that makes someone happy, but I find myself reaping mental benefits by just moving as much as possible all day outside of my exercise. If I spend the day sitting on my ass I feel like shit and can’t focus on anything
I walk around my house naked it to give my balls a little extra air and some more sunlight to boost t
I do the same but mostly because I like the freedom. I’ll also just make noises or yell just because I can. It’s liberating in a way.
Holy shit im not alone. Im a chronic pacer, but its an enjoyable activity to get lost in thought while I pace. In my house, in my back yard...at guests house...etc
I spent most of my free time in childhood home alone and I was pretty active so I'd throw on TV and pace/daydream for about 2 hours a day during the week.
during covid my mom used to do that as she is immunocompromised
she hated the idea of getting dressed up head to toe just to avoid the virus during elevator rides etc, heading to a park, walking with a mask, heading back home in full gear and taking everything off
she found refuge in doing literally what OP said, she walked a single hall for 40 minutes almost everyday for a year, obsession runs in her family so we were worried a little bit (funnily enough she is a medical doctor professor) but she is OK now
but I am also known to walk around the house a lil bit if I dont leave it for a full day
Ya it’s called having kids lol. Running around chasing a 2 year old while carrying an infant for a few hours at a time really makes those back muscles sore.
I do this. Up and down the hallway for sometimes an hour to get some steps in. Helps me fall back to sleep also if I wake up from a panic attack, walking up and down the hallway for half and hour or so calms me down.
i'd get bored of that real fast. i don't have a lot of space in my house
instead i'll just go out in the middle of the night and play pokemon go for a bit (assuming it isn't -35c or +25c but those days are common, i live in canadian prairies)
If you absolutely must do cardio at home, look into crawling workouts for LISS and agility ladder stuff for HIIT. You can get really fucking fit without ever going outside and with little to no equipment.
No, not really

No it’s called dysautonomia
My joints are fine
This, I got a new engineering wagie job that requires a lot of walking on the floors back and forth and I enjoy it, I also go out to the boneyard outside to pretend like I am looking for something when I am actually just getting more steps in and meditating, I found that I fall asleep a lot better when I have walked around a lot that day
Okay Edward elric
Yes. I also walk in circles for hours
same. i thought i was the only one

yeah, keeping the step count up is a continual battle. I prefer to walk outside but its cold as balls at the moment so you gotta do what you gotta do
if thats something what would be required of me to put in an hour of physical activity, sure

I have standing table. I horse stand when I use it
I pace back and forth in my hallway whilst blasting Hymn of the Cherubim contemplated the downfall of my gym nemesis

I do 15 minutes after every meal, sometimes longer. I developed this power during lockdown.
I do this. Up and down the hallway for sometimes an hour to get some steps in. Helps me fall back to sleep also if I wake up from a panic attack, walking up and down the hallway for half and hour or so calms me down.
I used to do this but people thought I was a tweaker
i'd get bored of that real fast. i don't have a lot of space in my house
instead i'll just go out in the middle of the night and play pokemon go for a bit (assuming it isn't -35c or +25c but those days are common, i live in canadian prairies)
I do that a lot since I built my house in the rooftop.
Yep
no but i do go around my house naked with all the windows open.
If you absolutely must do cardio at home, look into crawling workouts for LISS and agility ladder stuff for HIIT. You can get really fucking fit without ever going outside and with little to no equipment.
