Using my cheap fitbit clone, I walk 10k steps 3x/week.
It's a leisurely walk, like through a park.
My heart rate doesn't go up.
I thought i was doing great health wise by doing that.
Then i read this from the CDC:
It recommends 150min of Moderate-intensity aerobic activity.
'enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat'
So i'm just wasting my time health wise with my leisurely walks?
