Five miles a day of walking is something everybody can do pretty easily. What the heck is measly about 500 calories a day when people eat something like 2500 calories?
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoIt takes hours to walk 5 miles. Walking speed is something like 2 mph; fast walking is 3 mph. No way can I spend 2 hours walking every day. Much rather be biking :)
- WalterBright 12y agoI tried reading while walking. Didn't work out very well, I gave that up before something awful happened.
- Evgeny 12y agoI switched to audiobooks almost exclusively recently. Very compatible with walking and running, and even mild outside exercise such as pullups.
- WalterBright 12y agoI haven't done that out of concern of being unaware of things coming up behind me, like bicycles and cars. What I do do is "front load" my head with the context of a problem that's vexing me, and then while running think about it. I'm often able to come up with a solution that way. I also "write" articles while running, and then just tap them out when I get back.
- a8da6b0c91d 12y ago3.8 MPH is a totally reasonable pace to expect from a healthy adult. That's apparently what I clock walking to work. I think 70 minutes of walking every day at 3.8 MPH is totally reasonable and doable. Two 35 minute walks every day. It's best to make this a part of your commute. I have got shredded doing little more than an hour of daily walking. Don't tell me walking doesn't burn calories.
