Yeah its pretty good. Humans are made for it.
You can also do it for quite long and dont forget the more you weigh the more calories are burnt because you have to carry your weight.
It is however time heavy

what i value alot about walking compared to jogging or any other form of workout is how it doesnt trigger extra hunger.
it makes fatloss more bearable. also its accessibility is undbeatable. just get a few busstops off and walk the rest.

The deficit should be doing the work regardless but your capacity to recover physical and neurological fatigue is greatly diminished on a cut. So I think walking is a good tool in that circumstance because of the sheer volume of it you can do daily and be no worse for wear. If you've already trained up a form of cardio just do because you'll lose it if you don't.

zone 2 is better for general health and consistency
>>77315275
i noticed the same thing, when i was a rooner i would get insane carb cravings at night, but with walking i don't binge as much
>>77315232
walking also has psychological benefits, helps to reduce screen time etc...

walking allows you to manage hunger on a cut too, instead of eating 500 less calories you do 250 calories cut then walk 250 cal worth so you don't have to starve yourself as much, makes a big difference for sustained cut

Yes specifically while hitchhiking to sad piano music.

I'd just use it to cut more. Hop on p-smf get your daily deficit of ~1200-1600 only eat enough to meet protein requirements and some micros/electrolytes double down on the walks/runs. Hunger just doesn't exist when you're metabolizing fat. Only time it stars is when you're so lean you're running into issues actually mobilizing fat. So you hop off it a week or two get sanity and leptin or whatever back then back to it. As long as you're not eating a cake on your week off you'll make huge dents in your fat stores probably in excess of would you do with a consistent deficit.

I wouldn't be that ambitious with it past the first month or so. It is hard on your hormones not just test but the ones responsible for sleep, stress, fat mobilization, metabolism ect it not worth wrecking yourself to get to 13% or whatever a couple weeks sooner.

Walks are VERY good.
You should eventually ease into rucking as well.
>>

>>77315265
its not less efficient at all, over the course of a month if you hiked everyday you could easily cover 500 miles walking everyday with hardly any effort, try running 500 miles a month. tl;dr running is for retarded instant gratification NIGGERS

I do both
Walk everywhere I can average 5 miles a day.
Run 3 days a week with varied pace and distances.
There's very little instantly gratifying about running after it's an established habit. Kind of like lifting you're not getting prs every week or even every month unless you were training like absolute shit before. If anything you have to be way more careful and controlled.

Get your crap together and have a yard sale or haul it to the goodwill. Pretty stressful if you've never done it before to interact with a bunch of strangers trying to fuck you over but it'll get you out of your comfort zone for a few hours.

I walk to work and back (that's 10k steps and one way is uphill), plus whatever I walk during the day. I stay sixpack lean without trying and don't do any additonal cardio. That said, its not particularly effective or time efficient.

OP you want HEAVY HANDS
Aka take two light dumbbells and swing them high while walking
It really does make walking much more intense and full body, unlike normal cardio that often only targets the legs
It also does look really gay so accept that
>>
>>77315232
Yes. Walks are great for getting shredded. Eat right, train right, and get 10k steps a day and expect to lose weight. I still like to run on the treadmill twice a week tho so im getting more intense cardio in addition to walking
>>
>>77315232
agree with >>77315235
i love walking and can walk a shitton under ideal circumstances but i've never felt healthier because of it
if you don't already enjoy it find something else to do
>>
>>77315232
Walks are for calves and personal enjoyment. Running ,jogging and rucking are garbage. Unless you hate your knees.
Trail running is acceptable, also uphill grass sprints.
Swimming and biking are peak outdoor cardio. Just be sure to have your bike properly set-up. Otherwise you can eventually fuck your knees, dick, back, wrists and neck.

>I walk daily for an hour if not more.
pick up bace and do it for less than 40 minutes, work on posture and gait - frontal plane crossed with straight knee tucked chin extended thoracic - these kind of things
number of steps or duration means fuckall if quality is dogshit, and your bobbing up and down and/or hobbling side to side like a penguin - your head should rival that of chicken - as if it was tank gun riding on gyroscope
now THAT is walking - pictured are soldiers, soldiers even today WALK

i dont think anything is wrong with it persay. for instance i am at my computer walking with 15 or so pounds right now its not a big deal dude just do different forms of cardio sometimes i ride my bike, sometimes i feel like running, cardio doesn't really matter as much as weightlifting anyways for getting aesthetic, it just gives you more calories for the day to fit in more protein and fat for hormones. As long as you are nattymaxx and under 15% body fat you'll be able to run bike walk as well as 80% of people if your cardio starts eating into your weightlifting you know youve gone too far and you should dial it back

Walking is good but it brings diminishing returns, and the benefit per minute is relatively low compared to other things. If you had a choice between walking an extra 4,000 steps per day and doing a sprint workout every week, the sprint workout will be much better. So the optimal amount of walking is basically whatever is convenient at or beyond like 7,000 steps. That might be 18,000 steps for some people and 7,000 for others. At the end of the day, more steps aren’t a surrogate for diet, sleep, real training, high intensity, etc.
