Walking vs running

[Paltos]

I don't have the chance to run for my cardio, but Ido walk a lot with my wife – we can make a 2-3 hour long walk. SoI'd like to know if walking so much can equal a session of runningcardio? Will it help lose fat?

You don't have the chance to run? Yet you have the time to walk for 3 hours. That means you've time to do something else of your choosing.

As for the fat burning properties - it'd depend on whether you're out for a stroll or marching along.

3 hours of walking is a lot man. i would say that is wonderful and if you did that daily you are doing great

Thank you Steve for the kind words! Will that much walking contribute to fat loss? I don't expect drastic changes just because of walking, but some improvements would be great.

No. If you ran for between 40-60 minutes and then walked two hours the fat loss would be a LOT better than 3 of gentle walking.
