No, research shows that when going downhill you only burn 6.6 fewer calories per mile than walking on flat ground, So it uses less calories. Benefits are probably Improve Circulation Walking wards off heart disease, brings up the heart rate, lowers blood pressure and strengthens the heart. Shore Up Your Bones. ... Enjoy a Longer Life. ... Lighten Your Mood. ... Lose Weight. ... Strengthen Muscles. ... Improve Sleep. ... Support Your Joints. I googled all of this. |

Walk down i t upon someone's back. Whatever you've chosen to be doing with your c**k throughout this time is upon your own shoulders, entirely,   Perhaps you were just innocently picking winberries. |

Going over Niagra Falls in a barrel is a good way to lose weight. Just saying.

You use different muscles walking down hill.

Wow, walking downhill actually improves blood glucose tolerance and can aid in insulin resistace which is much lower in uphill walking. It also works other types of leg muscles. You shouldn't just go at the incline function of treadmills. Try working on the muscles it does not target by doing other exercises. http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/uphill_or_down_the_health_benefits_of_hiking_depend_on_where_youre_headed Makes you  wonder why they don't have decline option on treadmills..Actual physical walking is a lot better in many aspects. |

Arbitrary goals don't work for me. I just go outside and do things.

I have 100 percent lost the ability to dedicate myself to 'exercise'. I think it's cause I used to use exercise to punish myself. fu*ked up, I know But I love manual work. So, swings and roundabouts |
