    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.

            Based thread. Industrial society was a mistake
            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 fricked 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.

                most of those types of join pain are induced by inflammation though, cold showers help with that

                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.

    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
    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.

      >moronic sub 3 years of lifting newbie exposes himself
      Not only did I very fricking clearly state throughout half this thread it’s an overall lifestyle thing to avoid being a lazy homosexual, but for a fat frick walking actually is exercise. Stfu and post body w/timestamp you geek

      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.

      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.

    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

    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.

    If you absolutely must do cardio at home, look into crawling workouts for LISS and agility ladder stuff for HIIT. You can get really fricking fit without ever going outside and with little to no equipment.
