thanks for your shit post faggot
>>36985538
this doesn't help because i don't know the stats of half the shit to enter in that.....
just use common sense and refer to my original post
there's no possible way that 60 minutes of walking on a flat surface without breaking a sweat or having heart rate skyrocket did the same as 60 minutes of walking UP and DOWN hills that made me huff n puff like a mad man right?
i dont have information of my VO2 max or HR, im going by feels....the HR barely moves with the flat walking but the UP and DOWN hill walks make my HR skyrocket

1 hour of cardio in any fashion, sweating and dying or barely breaking a sweat results in the same thing. Cardio is weird and useless
>>36985500
Does it matter though?
The hiking thing is type 2 cardio and not even good for your heart.
Cardio is about training at a consistent and slow paced heart rate, trying to maximize the work one can do without having skyrocketed heart rate.

that's fucking bullshit lol.
going up and down hills is essentially doing HIIT, it burns fuck loads more calories than just briskly walking around the block on a flat surface
>>36985500
I guess that your shitty app dosnt connect with a heart rate monitor.
moron
>>36985729
This.
I have a really expensive huge treadmill at home. It has HR monitor that you connect to.
When I do a MASSIVE incline and walk slowly up it for 1 hour, I can easily burn nearly like 600+ calories. If I have no incline and just keep it flat my 1 hour of cardio is more like 200 calories or so.
>>36985662
wtf
it's simple. every calorie you burned going uphill was cancelled out going downhill.
>>36985818
I know this is bait, but I want to bite.
You actually burn more calories going downhill than you burn walking on flat surface. Going Up and Down hill is essentially HIIT.

> doing 1 hour of cardio
Damn, is everyone ITT a lifeless NEET?
>not doing 1 hour of cardio every day
>>36985778
>>36985778
What did you not understand?
Cardio != full retard runs with racing heart rate.,
>>36985634
how stupid are you
>>36985844
that was the easy to spot type of bait we call "A joke" nice spot.
>>36985500
this thread is retarded, and machines of the sort you are using are most of the time retarded as well.
keep walking up and down hills and god be with you.

>The hiking thing is type 2 cardio and not even good for your heart.
Painfully wrong.
The app is literally using the motion sensor in your phone to approximate the number of steps you've taken, not the difficulty of said steps.
>>36985500
>counting exercise calories
kek'd
>>36985500
Those apps aren't accurate lolz
