And people definitely DO lose more weight with exercise, since it adds muscle, which speeds up your metabolism. Ever notice that the skinny people who eat a lot exercise more than the fat people who eat very little and don't?

If you would like to debate, take it to pm. Can you provide a link to this also? I know what they say at sparkpeople, but I want to see this. Lets also not confuse exercise with cardio here either.

As far as i understand it - yes you can loose weight with no exercise at all. but your metabolism will slow down a fair bit.

As for exercise i reckon everyone is best to do whatever suits them best. Doing SOME is better than none at all.
If interval training is your thing - go for it, if cardio is your thing then also go for it.
Personally im not a runner or walker, i like cycling. But thats just my thing. I do some running and walking and weights to round it out, but as long as im doing SOME exercise then it really doesnt make that much of a difference unless i was trying out for some sort of fitness comp

All exercise should be applauded.

and thank you too.

Can you elaborate on this?

your body will plateau eventually, as it will get used to this routine. you need to change things up.

What if you change up the intensity, incline, and the speed on the treadmill?

And suppose you do the treadmill for a few weeks and change to cycling for a few weeks and go back to the treadmill again. Is that still a waste of time?

Can you PM me too, or start a new thread of your own, b/c I would love to debate with you.

Can I ask you a few questions, since this is in the best interest of all those reading this thread, including the OP.

Does HIIT increase VO2 max?

What burns more calories, HIIT or low intensity, steady state cardio?

What is the primary driver in weight loss? Hint: Answer is energy balance.

How many calories does one pound of muscle burn?
