moderate
The three levels of intensity are low, moderate, and high. Low intensity refers to light physical activity that may include walking or gentle stretching. Moderate intensity involves activities that increase heart rate and breathing, such as brisk walking or swimming. High intensity describes vigorous activities that push your body to work harder, like running or cycling at a fast pace.
light Intensity A+
That is correct, walking is a form of moderate activity.
no
Walking briskly typically falls under the moderate-intensity category of physical activity, where you might feel your heart rate increase and break a sweat. It is more intense than a leisurely stroll but not as intense as running.
moderate
Low intensity: Light physical activity such as walking or stretching. Moderate intensity: Activities that increase heart rate and breathing, like swimming or cycling at a moderate pace. Vigorous intensity: Higher intensity activities that significantly elevate heart rate and breathing, such as running or high-intensity interval training. Maximum intensity: Pushing the body to its limits, like sprinting or heavy weightlifting. Resting intensity: Complete rest with the body in a state of relaxation and recovery.
Moderate-intensity walking certainly counts as exercise. In fact, it's a great physical activity option for many people for a number of reasons: It is well tolerated by people across a range of fitness levels, ages, and medical histories.
You don't spend money when you walk so walking is an inexpensive activity.
No, running typically has a higher oxygen demand than walking due to the increased intensity and energy expenditure involved in running. When running, the body requires more oxygen to fuel the increased muscle activity and higher heart rate compared to walking.
Walking is considered an aerobic exercise because it primarily uses oxygen to meet the body's energy demands. Anaerobic exercises, on the other hand, are high-intensity activities that do not rely on oxygen for energy production.
