If walking had enough intensity to count as actual exercise, no one would have a problem with working out. The only time it works as exercise is if you don’t use a car to commute and you walk everywhere.


I walked for average 7km per day for the last 4 years. About 3 km before work + 20-50 km on weekends.

My back pain is gone, I lost 25 kg (also with diet change of course - but from my estimates about 300 kcal daily is just from walking).

I was already walking everywhere (I live in EU), but I work remotely so it wasn't enough.
