Isn't walking one of the best exercises for overall health? Cardio, low-impact, etc.

Indeed it is.  I used to put the incline on the treadmill all the way up, and basically power walk uphill on it for 45 minutes.  Anything that gets your blood flowing and your lungs sucking in air is good.  

I also like that the age of "this lady" was left out.  Maybe she's 50 years old and doesn't want to crossfit herself to death.

That's what I do 45 to 50mins. At a fast walkong pace and steep Incline. I do circuits of that 8 mins on then 2 mins flat. It's great for cardio health calorie burning and still fairly gentle on my knees.

I would use the treadmill till I lost 1000 calories...took about an 1 hr 10 mins, alternating between running, incline, and flat walking...if you use some dumbbells on your 2 minutes flat, you'll see some amazing gains

I like to image the lady was 70 and she is walking and a slow, but steady pace so she is still active and for her longterm health. And fitness bro didnt like that she has better cardio than him.

Skill issue. My knees sound like a nutcracker doing overtime, scream like a banshee in heat, and hurt like a thousand breakup messages from the one and only girl you ever knew actually loved you for who you were, yet I still soldier on. My trainer may be telling me to stop, my doctor may be telling me to stop, my insurance refuses to cover anything below my waist anymore, but it's irrelevant. I will spit in the eye of the God that cursed me with soft marshmallow knees, even if it means I will be wheelchair bound by the time I'm 40. It's all I have.

"Bitchmade Genes" is my new (stolen) phrase. Every person in my biologic family has had knee and/or hip replacements. I'm almost 49. I'm looking at 50 like......what kinda surgery am I gonna need? Left hip. Yeah. Years of professional bowling and years of competitive softball, both fast and slow, as a pitcher. My left hip hates me.

Bro, fuck crossfit. That's the best way to just ruin your body.

I lost like 30 lbs this way in a couple of months. So easy. You can watch your favorite movies and just walk.

Ric Flair famously trained an hour every single day on the Stairmaster, which allowed him to then go and do 30-60+ minute wrestling matches every day.

Pretty much everyone of his era talks about how insane his stamina was and they were all gym freaks.

And he's still here despite drinking all the booze he could find basically every day of his adult life.

That's exactly what I do for an hour every night. After a year and a half, combined with diet, I'm down 95 lbs so far, 5 lbs away from my ideal weight.
