So I want to lose weight and prefer walking on water than on the road. There is a nice river where I live and I like going there. So which would I lose more weight? Thanks
Are you Jesus, that you can walk on water?
If you mean in water, that depends on a number of factors: how deep, and how long do you plan on walking for?
IMO, you're better off just going for a longer walk on dry land.
Its neck deep, not that deep. The stream is also not strong at all mostly. I would like to walk for about 15 minutes?
So by walking on water, you mean walking in water? You would probably be better off walking on land, or swimming in that water. Swimming burns about the same amount of calories as running but is the easier option for your joints, and it's whole body exercise. If it's neck deep, that's plenty deep to swim upstream for X minutes then back down to your starting point. Walking if you can swim instead seems like an odd choice.
Just be reminded that weight loss is 80% diet. Running for about an hour is barely the equivalent of a single meal or candy bar. You're better off hitting the diet really hard and easing into exercise a few times a week.
So why not keep practicing and turn those 3 laps into 30 and then 300 and so on. Or sprint through it. Or do BJ Penn jumps out of the water.Its only about 15 feet how water I get to swim though before the water gets too low for me to swim in. I am also a very bad swimmer. I can only do about 3 laps of that 15 feet at the moment. Thanks for the reply.
