Is walking at a moderate pace a good form of cardio?

Answer 1

If you can't do absolutely anything else, then walking at a moderate pace is better than doing nothing. However, you would have to walk for more than an hour to say that it is helpful. Instead, you can try brisk walking. Brisk walking for an hour can be compared to jogging for 30 mins. If you don't have an hour, then brisk walk for at least 30 mins. Google brisk walking pace (speed) to understand how fast you should be walking. Also, look up how to brisk walk correctly.
