Hello Everyone,
These last two months, as my country has opened up, I am walking day and night with a mask. My watch pedometer almost always logs over 10,000 steps a day, sometimes even two or three times that.
I know, for most people who speak about intensity, efficiency, etc. walking does not fit the bill. However, I have found there is nothing for stress relief quite like walking with a music player on.
1. At what point does regular walking become detrimental to bodybuilding goals?
To me, I think almost no amount of walking could be bad, especially if someone is doing mobility exercises.
Yes, hiking in tall mountains, jogging, etc. can be counter productive, but not walking.
2. Can walking be used as a standalone part of cardio?
My guess is "no", at leas 20-30 minutes, 3x a week, on something like HIIT stationery bike, etc. are good to build up conditioning.
3. Of course, I know the real transformation is getting back into the gym and weightlifting. My guess is everyone on this forum just loves barbell training, and what benefits it brings. There is literally nothing like it.
