Walking for cardio?

Hi,

Is walking considered good for cardio? I know it is an effective calorie burner. Is there research to support brisk walking is effective in lowering resting heart rates?
I have been reading work done by Joel Jamieson I wondered if walking had its benefits also. I'm sure for someone who is unfit walking will have immediate benefits. But for more elite atheletes is it effective?

I know Steven Maxwell goes for 10,000 steps per day. Anyone else use long walks when running is inconvenient/painful?

I go for 10,000 faps per day. I'm skinny as fuk Phone Post

I think it depends on how brisk the walk. If your heart rate gets up high enough (around 80% max heart rate) or higher it can improve cardio. If your heart rate isn't up high enough it won't improve cardio but is still very healthy. Phone Post

walking can be good for cardio, if you are walking about 6 to 10 hours every day. kind of like going to an adventure in the woods. but then again, you need a hell of a lot of time. who has the time, besides hippies.
