Yes. Next stupid thread
>Yes
Cheers.
>Next stupid thread
Frick you.
>walks the same route everyday
>knows his city like the back of his hand
this doesnt make any sense
He walks the whole city every day.
Or he was the same core route every day, as well as exploring new areas.
Why dont you leave the city and walk in a forest
not everyone is that privileged
the Black folk might be around there
forest walk cool
The pic isn't related to my walking habits, but it was the only meme I could find relating to walking. Personally, I do walk around a lot of forests and parks. I couldn't walk for 3+ hours in a noisy metropolitan city tho.
All the trails are crowded around me and sometimes I want to just casually walk rather than hike, like a casual loop with little to no incline, but there are none like that nearby.
the area I live has only a handful of sidewalks and neighborhoods to walk in since I'm in a flyover state.
Any advice on how to spice things up? lately the walks have become so boring and repetitive that I am starting to lack the motivation to even go
do it backwards
Have a treadmill desk or just a lot of free time?
Is she the reason they all do that?
No. Want to lose weight? Track your food
Humans were hunter-gathereres for most of their history so it's a WAY to lose weight, but your body is literally designed to walk prey to death and burn minimal calories in doing so.
You can burn more calories in a 30 minute intensive bike ride than 12 hours of walking
12 hours of walking is about 50,000-60,000 steps, if youre like me (192cm, 97kg), that will burn a good 4500-5000 calories. Nice try moron, walking is the way. Christ is king.
Sorry, meant to say one's tdee would be 4500-5000 cal. It'll still burn a solid 2000-2500 calories though
186cm, 97kgs here
i disagree on your estimates
10k steps is like 400, maybe 500, definitely not more than 600 Caalories (itd be 600 for a 300lb untrained fat ass)
12 hours should be 72k, like 2900 Calories (though id like to see someone do that,my pb is like 42k)
but thank you based christ poster
Walking =/= persistence hunting pace. You have to jog after the animal or it will outrun you. The whole point is that humans can sweat to keep cool during the jog but animals can't shed heat as quickly as us.
yeah.. real hunters societies always use poison instead of relying on the arrow head penetration. Each arrow is like a hypodermic needle.. all they need to do is to follow the animal until it collapses
Also the achilles tendon is a adaptation for persistence hunting/running. Acts like a organic spring storing the energy of the previos step to be release on the next one
>Also the achilles tendon is a adaptation for persistence hunting/running.
>persistence hunting/running.
One of these things is not like the other. Our elastic achilles tendon is arguably more important for the energy saved when walking and sprinting,L.
wrong
20k steps is like 800 calories for most, 3 hours 20min of walking, 2-2.5 hours on a bicycle for most, 90 ish min on an elliptical id guess
yeah, but it can get very hard on your feet, get really bad foot pain and ankle pain, not to mention the sheer amount of time it takes.
takes too much time, just bike or do whatever instead, steps are meant to be gotten passively
that being said i like walking and id walk much more if i had some nice natural scenery.
>You can burn more calories in a 30 minute intensive bike ride than 12 hours of walking
12 hours of walking = 2000-2600 calories
30 minutes of cycling = 400-600 calories
>your body is literally designed to walk prey to death
I hate this meme so much it's unreal. Persistence hunting is just a theory. Some people may do it, but it's the least effective form of hunting that exists.
Humans in nature hunt by using their brain. They may develop tools to fish or kill land animals at a distance. They may use traps to catch animals.
They may use strategy, teamwork and cooperation to corner or encircle animals that would otherwise outrun them.
They may ambush their prey. Which by the way is what bow hunters still do today. Follow tracks, climb up a tree, and just wait for animals to come by and shoot them.
The idea that persistence hunting was very prevalent in the past is a baseless assumption used to justify modern exercise (cardio, running) as something "natural".
>Humans were hunter-gathereres for most of their history so it's a WAY to lose weight, but your body is literally designed to walk prey to death and burn minimal calories in doing so.
Complete speculation. The adaptations humans developed during our switch from arboreal ancestors to grassy-plains dwelling bipeds can be explained by a multitude of theories. The persistence hunting theory requires many assumptions. Sweaty naked apes that have relatively good stamina / speed trade off is well-explained as an adaptation to allow us to scavenge on the plains when we saw the vultures circling a kill. Our unique ability to throw meant we could rain a painful and frightening shower of rocks on the predators that made the kill and scare them off of their kill.
Like meme persistence hunting, similar methods to this are still used today. Lions don't frick with a group of humans that know how to intimidate them away from their kill
This method has the advantage of not being incredibly niche and specific to the climate and topography of the land as persistence hunting is.
Uphill running and walking are the best, more range of motion means more energy spent.
Just go on a calorie deficit and do OMAD; then no need for any walking. I lost 60 pounds last year by OMAD and calorie deficit. Crazy thing is that it only took me like 3 months to drop 60 pounds because I lose weight quickly. Also I did extended fasts as well, fasted for 12 days last year
Now imagine doing that with walking. There are other benefits to walking than just weight loss.
>listening to a fatso for anything related to health and fitness
Or, or , or, you could've gone on a 8-12k a step daily walking regimen, split your tdee-500kcal daily eating regimen into three square meals, and not done a womanly crash diet-esque severe weight loss. How's your cardiovascular health fatty? Feeling fatigued for doing a b***h starvation diet? Theres no need for that level of suffering, and we both know you'll regain the weight knowing your habits.
>steps
use miles and aim for 4mph
yes, but 20k steps a day is basically a 3h long walk, you're better off sperging out and going full stair climber mode, either that or find a job where you do 10-20k steps per shift
>ITT morons dont know about rollerblading
Not everyone lives in a city with nice streets everywhere
>t. third worlder
Walking is based. Started doing an hour walk just before sunrise every day near a local riverwalk. Squeeze in like 8k steps before my day even starts and I get to see the big titted milf that jogs the same route.
Based anon. Jumpstarts one's metabolism, slow daily increase in cardiovascular health, and get's to see local prime fauna in their natural habitat
Very good anons, very good
Finished 20,000 steps today, 2000 of it on stair climber, and a quarter of the remaining going up hill. Feeling great
Been walking 10k+ every day for maybe the last two years. Tried doing the /walking wednesday/ thread but it never took off and I got lazy after a month
I did this and have plantar fascitis now
imagine being so subhuman that the mere act of walking injures you
Walking around at night is very comfy. Seen some stuff over the years. It's mostly calm. Very nice to get bundled up in the winter and walk through a snowstorm. Great alone time.
A few months ago an anon who was walking 50k steps a day made insane leg gains and his resting hear rate was in the low 40s, so yes. Walking a lot works
How the frick do you even get that many in a day?
be unemployed
nta but I went to university in a small town and lived 4 km afar from uni so me and a friend walked there and back to our house everyday. I still have the mad calf gains I got back then (10 years ago)
>A few months ago an anon who was walking 50k steps
>How the frick do you even get that many in a day?
>be unemployed
He was VERY unemployed. He did nothing all day but walk while leeching on his family. I found the pics. Also he claimed his diet consisted of only bread and hotdogs. I am 99% sure he was a schizo
Better legs than anyone I've seen doing squats and deads
>Better legs than anyone I've seen doing squats and deads
His upper body was so DYEL people thought there were 2 guys in the same house taking photos of eachother. He posted a fullbody pic eventually (he was bullied into doing it)
>You have his upper body pics? They were hilarious
Yes
Its hilarious, any other screencaps? I need to archive this
He posted his feet.
Laugh it up c**ts
Why are you such a burden on your parents? Couldn't you have done courier work to earn some money AND gotten in your autistic amounts of steps?
Why do you care? Are you upset you're a wagie and he isn't?
Why do you care that I care gay.
Trying to get to the bottom of how autistic spastics like you and him operate
You have his upper body pics? They were hilarious
Well to be honest, he just looks like a regular guy that doesn't lift.
This guy on yt walked 40k a day and look at those legs
Yes.
Btw somce it is wimter try crosscountry skiing. It is like walking on steroids
Walking that much will have good health benefits, but your body is so efficient at walking that it won't cut into your energy usage all that much. If weight loss is your goal, you'll have much more success at counting calories and reducing the amount you eat.
Yes but if you add a weighted backpack it's even better. I started adding 15 lbs to my daily walks with my dog and I've noticed my calves and traps are starting to get a bit fatigued by the 45 min to 1 hour mark.
I was thinking of doing this. Is it a good idea to add more weight or does it reach a point where you risk injury?
Walk to the shops or work with an audio book and you get:
> like 300 cal burn
> brainwashing
> benefits of getting some sun, even in winter
Entirely depends on how/what you eat on the side.
A lot of train lines have cycle/walking paths along them. If you walk down one for a few hours you start to notice how each suburb is a microcosm, like a biome in minecraft or a zone in wow. Walk further, for longer, over months... and it all changes.
People in cars have no idea. They just see driveways and carparks.
Walking burns around the same calories as jogging by distance, but jogging burns more by time since you are obviously faster.
Walking uses more fat as energy source (in peecent), doesn't raise cortisol, doesn't raise insulin, doesn't make you as hungry. So yes, walking is good for fat loss.
yes, 20k is great
I am so fricking weak after letting myself go bros
A brisk 6000 step walk with some inclines and declines somehow gets my entire core tired and sore the next day but I'm motivated to unfrick myself and walk fricktons
Change up your walking gait regularly to get the most out of it. You can easily target different parts of your core if you're willing to look silly.
Qrd about different gait styles and what's they target? I can walk in an empty but safe industrial area if it really looks moronic
What they target*
the problem with talking is once you get used to running it is so vastly superior you feel like a moron cuck for wasting time walking, you can make the exact same gains like 4x faster by simply slow jogging
i used to talk 28k-32k steps a day at one of my old jobs. my job was literally walking food and other things out to certain venues and setups we had on property. i still managed to be fat because i drank all day every day off i had. that job was miserable
