Hiking = Best Cardio

[Stark]

Foks I can only re commed hiking as a cardio, it's awesome to burn some calories, you are seeing something it's a lot of fun and you get out of the city or what ever shithole you're living in.

I'm into Bushcrafting tracking and all that good stuff since I did my specialisation 3 month after basic in the army, thats when the only good Officer I meet in the army actually made the training look interesting by going through all the different aspects of living comfortable in a non urban environment.

Who else here is into hill walking or hiking?

I love hiking.  It's great exercise and not boring like walking on a treadmill.

Beautiful 1.5 hour (very easy) hike today in Nashua NH...
People had their dogs with them, folks jogging, biking, hiking, etc...

Hiking is just uppity walking

I walk the dog in the neighborhood and I enjoy walking the beach or a city. I agree it is best for conditioning.

The quiet secret about hiking is that's it's just walking. Walking is so underrated. Walk fast four or five times a week for an hour and the fat will melt off. 

When I injured my Achilles I couldn't run for about a year. Walking on the trail in the woods did amazing things. It got to the point where I went for five fast miles every time I went out. I tried to transition to running but all the walking I did took the spring out of my step. It was a slow transition but after a couple of months I left the walking behind. Now I got sick and I will return to fast walking again.

Wrong.

Changes in elevation, terrain, and walk angles make it totally different than just walking.

If I walk up a hill I am still walking. If I walk an uneven sand surface I am still walking.

Getting in to the hills and mountains does wonders for mental,emotional and physical health.

If you walk on unstable surfaces, inclines and at different elevations, it's going to have a different effect on your conditioning and what muscles are engaged to keep you walking.

I'm not critiquing walking on roads or beaches, it's excellent.  But hiking is different.

BHANKS, you are correct.

[Cook]

BHANKS, you are correct.

had he ever in his life been wrong?

He knows it's different. He will have encountered Naismith's Rule at some point (perhaps when 'hiking up the mountains of Kosovo with a mortar on his back'). Getting him to admit it, however, is an impossible task.

Bhanky does his hiking on the track at his local high school.

Really strange statement from a supposed front line infantryman whose knees are fcuked?
