Thanks for your reply. But now I must post here to share some gyan.
It is better to walk than becoming a couch potato. but it is not even close when you say it can work as a proxy for any exercise.

no, never, not in even your wildest dreams...

gym / freehand is a choice. i like functional strength , flexibility and independence and simplicity in life. So no gym needed for me. But for certain sports, gym is a must.

similarly walking is maybe good enough for old or disabled. not for a healthy young one.

it is just you are young and you may have high metabolic rate and good genes thats keeping you away from obesity and other ills of those who love to eat but not burn enough energy every day.

I will even add that some people are fortunate to live a healthy full life without even a second of exercise. many on both side of my family doing it even in their 90s. But it is my choice to have a strong flexible muscular body as long as i can.

walk is very good for seniors just because they are like rusty old doors.

but even for those who have kept at staying active, walk is not enough to maintain the level.

Welp, actually walking fits best into my routine. Life right now has become like rushing from home to school and extra classes on even weekends, teachers hunting for extra classes to finish their syllabus any day. In this situation, sparing a few minutes for all this becomes difficult. Spending 5-10 minutes on my phone to post here, and going to the community gym are two different affairs.


As I'd said previously also, this is the best form of exercise for me, but for the time being only. It might surely be that as I grow up and have sufficient time to spare, I might also go to the gym, caring about your health and body is definitely important.

But TBH there are a few things you can do in everyday life to maintain your health. Ofc I didn't mean that walking everyday will give you 6-packs , if you think that, this won't happen. I just meant that it keeps me from becoming obese. One thing is walking regularly as I said, another is good posture, doing some household chores and the list goes on.

Thus that's my point. I agree that there are lot of aspects with respect to a particular point and similarly walking is definitely one of the components of staying fit. Personally speaking, I liked your gyan. (For those who dunno what it is, it's a sarcastic Hindi word for what'd otherwise mean knowledge. )
