is walking 10K steps everyday a replacement for exercise?

[Insatiable_creat]

So it's HIIT

Yah. Without the sprinting, just swinging hands and faster wider steps.

I am underweight. But my cholesterol levels is unhealthy level. All doc said genetic but I tried to control my diet (no fried food, no snacks , no pastries , no cream n dressing, no processed food). I usually have avocados as breakfast n natto as dinner with my rice. This diet has been for years as I worry my blood has plaque.

However I diligently brisk walking everyday for at least 3 months. Cholesterol really drops fast.

Sometime last year , I had big drop in cholesterol within 3 weeks, by close to 2 mmol . Walking almost daily.
But recently 2 or 3 months of exercises at home only brought much less improvement , worse still LDL didn't go down ☹.

By the way any home used cholesterol test kit in the market? I saw those from taobao. Don know whether they r reliable or not. Anyone using any test kit?

can it help with weight loss, cholesterol management along with food control?

It's very difficult to achieve 5,000 steps if one drives. Ditched the car, I need to walk to few places around my neighborhood maybe 1.7km to hit 5,000. 10,000 likely need 3.5km or beyond.

5000 steps is abt 4km.

Calorie intake > what your body needs = get fat

Calorie intake < what your body needs = slim down

Simple as that , if you want to slim down
Exercise more , make your body need more
And also watch your diet for the Calorie intake

That way your body swee swee bo zao zui

i walked 8-10 k steps per day. at least it keep weight in check and dont overeat crap.

 

[Apparatus]

Have a rounded exercise routine is better

Forced march (not just walking) 10Km twice a week. Do strength exercise twice a week. Have one day for whole body from head to toe exercise. Relax for 2 days in-between

 

[zohn1999]

Comparison between no exercise, 10k steps and their recommended walking/running

Can summarise?

 

[AUTUMN&WINTER]

Must walk fast. No point walking slowly.

 

[Raitei-Q]
