do you even work out, and making fun of those, who are not as great as you think you are, does not count.

I walk/run/hike 30-40 miles a week depending on weather.

is walking, working out?

Are you under the impression the difference between total energy burned between walking a mile and running a mile is significant? Work = force * distance, bro.

you're forgetting intensity, bro.  running a mile definitely burns more calories than walking it.  tell me you can figure that part out.

in case you can't:

How about burying a bone in your lover's backyard? That's gotta burn up some calories like sexual sunlight. Speaking of which, whatever happened to NKOTB?

Well, your very first article falls into the biggest fallacy in this discussion which is false equivalencies. Yes, running for 20 minutes burns more calories than walking for 20 minutes. Obviously. That is also not what I said: I'm talking about the same distance, not the same amount of time. Running for 20 minutes covers a further distance than walking for 20 minutes.

You also are missing the word "significant" in my statement. I acknowledge running 1 mile at 6mph, for example, burns slightly more calories than walking 1 mile at 3.5mph. By my fitness wrist thing, personally it puts a difference of about 15 calories between the two activities, for me. Not a huge difference.

We also get into the discussion of how many of those calories in each activity are burned in each AS A RESULT OF THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY and how many are burned as a result of simply being alive, awake, breathing, etc for the period of time in question. We also border on discussions of how each person's fitness level is different (a jaded level runner's body doing a 4 mile run 6mph is going to respond very differently than someone who never runs and does the same thing and is probably huffing for air the entire way which actually in a perverse way require more calories to operate the lungs in that situation) and calorie counts are going to be estimates at best outside of a lab.

So, yes, I stand by the idea that the calorie reduction between running and walking is not so significant that walking does not constitute exercise as a result.

My theory is if an activity makes you sweat or pant, it's exercise. If it doesn't, it's just a nice pleasant thing to do.

Sitting outside in 110 degree weather is exercise?

I just don't see how walking 5-6 miles (and for the average male burning like 500-650 calories) doesn't constitute "exercise" but running 2 miles is. Something can be both exercise and also pleasant. (It, admittedly, isn't strenuous exercise.)

Sitting in a sauna and having the flu also makes you sweat, but that's not exercise either. However, to qualify as exercise, you must sweat or pant. And unless you're power-walking, I don't see walking 5-6 miles as being exercise per se. Again, I'm not shitting on it and I do think it's healthy for you, but you're not burning much calorie-wise and your heart isn't getting much of a workout.

Also, I strongly question whether walking 5 or 6 miles would burn more than 300 calories but admittedly, I'm pulling that out of my rockhard ass.

as an active vegetarian, I wouldn't expect Julian to look so soft and pudgy.

Apparently he's not that active.

I guess not… my company currently has some lame competition going on and sure enough, people like Julian are logging walks to the metro stop, FISHING, etc. as their exercise for the day.

If I write an autobiography, I'm going to call it "Active Vegetarian, Lapsed Catholic". I will credit you on the acknowledgments page.

My TV came with Pandora so I have 3 stations for when I work out, one is QOTSA [duh, how original] another is Lynyrd Skynyrd and the last one is Brodinski. Sometimes I want that crunchy rock, other times I want some oldies, other times I want some dark dance music. I've tried listening to rap when I work out but I just can't get into it and it gets kind of distracting listening to the lyrics lol.
