Walking = cardio?

[Terrymundo]

So I'm shedding fat and cardio is part of deal. Do you think I need to do more than walking? I currently walk to work and back monday which is 25minutes walk each way. Obviously it's very low intensity but I get a slight sweat going. Worth doing more?

I think if you are just walking you need to do 40-60 mins for it to be effective. Just my opinion. If I'm doing 25 mins I'm doing it as hard as I possibly can.

Depends how fast you walk lol

yeah more or up the intensity. if walking isn't doing it for you, try find some kind of cardio that you enjoy. cycling, swimming, hiking, non stop sex. whatever gets your heart going 140+ bpm for sustained period of time and you can keep it up consistently

Personally, I would say that the tool to figuring out if you need to up the cardio is dependent upon the state of your current results. 

 

I like to add specific cardio into my routine, as in, not walking as part of work etc, something that is for the sole purpose of my goals; fitness, fat loss etc. 

 

If you feel you need to add more in, I'd say do it. 

 

Way I see it, you always have 2 options, 1. Eat less, 2. Exercise more. And I HATE eating less
