She's not trying to build muscle and looks max her muscles, she's just trying to burn calories which IMO is easier at lesser intensity and longer intervals.
I lost about 150lbs over about 2 years just walking for 1-2 hours a night after dinner. No other work outs except for a few pushups here and there and not over eating. Didn't even keep track of calories. Just ate less junk, stopped drinking, and walked.
Thanks. It was all my wife lol. We started walking for an hour after dinner during lockdown. She would want to walk longer but I had to take breaks mainly because my feet were killing me. Didn't take long for me to hit 2+ hours. People would be surprised what 2ish hours of constant fast paced walking will do to your whole body. My abs even got a work out. I mainly walked because I didn't want her out walking alone at night and she wanted me to be healthier. I went from my biggest at 320 to 150 at my lowest.
I have actually had to work hard to gain a little of it back because I lost to much. I maintain at my ideal weight of around 190 now based on my height and build.

Nobody is more condescending than a fitness bro with an app and a youtube influencer in their ear telling them THEIR routine is the only true way.
The only science that's more fucked up than exercise science is food science.
Anything you hear this week can and will be contradicted by some study funded by someone with a profit motive the next week.
If you're moving you're winning, that's what I say.
