RANT: “Walking” vs “Exercise”
Hey everyone!! A bright and shiny new week is upon us.
Full of possibilities, right?
I hope you have great plans to make it an intense, sweaty and hard core training week!!
Today a blog post I read earlier coupled with a FRUSTRATING session of hillsprints out on my favourite hill got me to thinking:
Can “Walking” REALLY be considered “Exercise”?
Well, CAN IT?
Some say “yes”, some say “no”.
I say:
So for pete’s sake, if you’re going to WALK for EXERCISE, make sure you do it RIGHT, okay?!
Here’s the original post I was referring to (and thanks to AlKavadlo for the inspiration): Is Walking Really the Best Exercise?
As usual, we end with today’s Workout Song of the Day. Here’s the thin premise for the tie-in:
Don’t be Soft Core with your workouts (especially if you’re walking for exercise) be HARD CORE each and every time.
In the meantime, here’s some Soft Core I DO approve of … this Maurice and the Cliches’ song is great for Cardio because of it’s hilarious lyrics and great beat!
(hey, I warned you the tie-in premise was thin! LOL)

That’s it for today. Have a fit, fun and fantastic day, and we’ll see you again soon!

I TOTALLY agree… heh heh I’m even a member of the Facebook Group “I’d like to punch slow-walking people in the back of the head”… :)
Love your stuff Jackie!
