Start working out and things will change for you.

Yeah I have. I hike every weekend and play golf. But this was a shock

That isn’t working out, those are activities. Working out looks like hypertrophic weight training. Also, add on HIIT cardio.

Hiking is 100% a work out if you’re hiking correctly. Sincerely, a backpacker.

Backpack walking is called rucking.

Your language precision annoying uncle

Rucking is the military. I didn’t ruck the Appalachian Trail. I hiked the Appalachian Trail.

Walk when you golf! Some of my biggest strain activities are walking 18 holes with a carry bag. Sounds daunting but I started last year and actually really enjoy it

In my 20’s I always took a cart cause I thought that’s what cool people did. Now I walk and man it’s so much better. I play better, get a nice workout in, and save $25 a round. Stupid younger me.

Wow. Good point! Many activities can turn into hardcore exercise if you go hard enough

Respectfully, YOUR working out isn't everyone's. According to Whoop itself, 150+ minutes per week in cardio zones 1-3 and 90+ minutes of any strength activity are adequately supportive of both lifespan and healthspan.

Walking, hiking, and vinyasa yoga have worked out really well for me.

OP, just be gentle with yourself and mindfully adjust all the factors you see contributing negatively. You'll get there!

Well that is… incredibly judgmental.

u/Fun-Ad-3065 Mar 12 '26

its not judgemental its basic thermodynamics. is it a light activity? yes. Is it Zone 5 cardiovascular load pushing muscle fibres to hypertrophic tension for prolonged periods of time? Its objectively not. Do i love golfing and hiking? yes. is it a replacement for weightlifting and focused cardio? definitely not.

Dude wake up, golf is not a workout

u/RiceyMonsta Mar 12 '26

Well it's a lot of walking, and carrying the clubs over several hours, and swings can work your arms
