    Do you consider walking a workout?

    I heard that some people lost weights by walking around 10,000 steps per day. Do you consider walking (fast) a kind of workout?

    Yup, But it all depends on the person if they will lose weight or not

    Walking is valid exercise, yes.

    No. Walking doesn't raise the heartbeat (unless you're obese).

    ... Facts of biology considers walking a potential workout.

    It all depends on how it's done.

    Pure BS. Walking can be done at a variety of speeds and intensity, not just 1...

    Won't build much muscle, but it's great for losing weight! Walking/jogging burns most calories for least effort.

    You should try racewalking. It's such a brutal sport.

    I think it was in the last olympics when Yohann Diniz just kept going on and on even though his pants were filled with shit, piss and blood.

    I guess it depends on what your goal is.

    If your goal is to get fit, walking is low intensity by nature, so not great for building up the kind of endurance you'd need to run and climb and such.

    If you're looking to lose weight, pairing walking with reduced caloric intake will help you drop weight relatively effortlessly without substantially increasing your appetite. The walk would need to be at a good pace for about 45 minutes - if you do that, depending on your current weight, you can burn ~300+ calories in about 45 mins. Not too shabby at all, given the effort. I can't stress enough the point about not substantially increasing appetite. When you're trying to cut, increased appetite is the last thing you want.

    A lot of runners burn great calories on their runs, but their appetites are huge. This makes watching your calories much more difficult, which makes losing weight more difficult.

    yes walking can be a workout, but what you have to remember is that the body adapts to stimulus, or stresses placed upon it, (such as working out, weight lifting etc.) basically anything that pushes the body to protect itself or grow....walking works to a point, but then the body becomes incredibly efficient at it and you will need to add more stress to it, hence why resistence training is progressive.

    Walking is great for people who are de-conditioned, rehabbing an injury are injured(non lower-body obviously) or just overweight and want to get back into the swing of things.

    However, it's not a cure-all or a quick fix in the least.

    But if you're curious about getting your fitness on and/or you want to start to lose some extra poundage then by all means please start walking!

    Walking is a workout, but the body adapts super quick so just like anything else that's progressive, after a while you will need to change the stress placed on the body while walking so that the body doesn't get too used to the same thing over and over.

    I.e. - walk one mile a day for about a week then walk about 2 miles a day for a week, or walk with weights, then walk without.

    Progressively increasing your fitness at a reasonable pace is literally the only way you should be trying to exercise, it doesn't have to be nuts or crazy kinds of increases but increasing weight or changing an exercise stimulus is the best way to go.

    If you are walking slowly with bad form it isn't much of a good workout. Once you get going at a steady pace and work on engaging your muscles I would consider it a workout.

    Walking 1mile burns the same calories as running 1 mile.

    It just takes longer.

    Not true, but the difference isn't as huge as people think.

    Walking is more energy efficient compared to running. Which is the reason why we walk, not run, to places.

    Well, you shouldn't. There's like a ~50% difference.

    For me? No, walking isn't really a workout. Depends on the person. If you weigh 600 pounds or have some other issue that compromises mobility I imagine walking is quite a workout.
