But much of life is low level easy activty and we need to do that too. <BR/><BR/> It is the power law distribution that Art DeVay refers to in his essay - lots of easy stuff and a little very hard stuff, distibuted fairly randomly through the week.<BR/><BR/>Personally I do a lot of hill walking at weekends in the Scottish mountains - often a 6-8 hours walk; easy daily walks of 30-40 mins and a couple of hard interval or weights sessions keps me fit for that.<BR/><BR/>As for fat loss I think it is really about tightening diet.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223657383325055342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-13207437231209021682007-08-10T18:28:00.000-07:002007-08-10T18:28:00.000-07:00Hey Chris,Great blog, I find between this blog and...Hey Chris,<BR/><BR/>Great blog, I find between this blog and Art De Vany's, my whole approach to fitness is changing (I was a total aerobic junkie). I do have a question. Do you think trying to incorporate a large amount of walking (over varied terrains/hills) would help with weight loss, in addition to a few intense exercise sessions (like sprinting) a few times a week? Or would too much walking prove detrimental?klesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988798555019568141noreply@blogger.com
