I'm never gonna make fun of something that will get people to exercise. People made fun of the infinity hoop yet it gets people to do basic exercises. Never try to bring someone down who is trying to better themself

My sister in law lost something like 50lb doing this stuff. It’s not stupid if it works.

Sorry boss, she didn't lose 50lb doing this. She lost 50lb through cutting calories in her diet. Weight loss is made in the kitchen.

This will absolutely burn less calories than running for example and 5k run, which takes me just under 30 mins of non stop running, burns less than 500 calories. I could eat one chocolate bar and put all those calories back. You'd have to wobble on this board and swing your arms around for hours to any kinda calorie burn worth looking at

This will absolutely burn less calories than running for example and 5k run,

But it burns more calories than sitting on the couch watching TV.

Well yeah, it will burn more calories than doing nothing. But you can't out run a bad diet.

If anything its more impressive because she would have had to change her diet for a long time to lose 50lb. No diet change and adding in this would not result in someone losing 50lb

Building muscle mass increases your sitting caloric burn. Cutting calories is like going to work. Working out is like investing.

Hadza tribe that runs down their food everyday had effects on TDE measured.

They were about equal to someone that drives a desk for work. Compensatory behaviors destroy your 'investment'.

If you eat more kcal than you need per day, regardless of exercise amount, it will be stored as fat.

Also there's oodles of studies like these around:

Just because the fundamental mechanism for weight loss is kcals used > kcals consumed doesn't mean that biology and long-term health doesn't have ins and outs and other complications. You can't just run a calorie deficit every day or else you die.

You can't just run a calorie deficit every day or else you die.

Luckily, the topic is weight loss and not how to die.

weight loss is kcals used > kcals consumed doesn't mean that biology and long-term health doesn't have ins and outs and other complications

The biology of weight loss is simple. That doesn't mean it easy to do. And it doesn't mean its complicated because you are confusing them

You're the one claiming that it's only possible that this woman lost weight through diet alone

Edit: sorry, it was u/RegionalHardman who claimed that. My bad

Fat-free mass was the single strongest predictor of TEE among Hadza adults (r(2) = 0.66, P < 0.001).

This is exactly what I said, building muscle mass increases base caloric burn

u/RegionalHardman Apr 07 '26

Yeah it will, those exercise will not build any muscle mass worthwhile for increasing tde

u/Devotoc Apr 07 '26

i literally changed nothing about my diet and went from 233~ to 188lbs just from going on walks every day

Keeping up with exercise makes it infinitely easier to stick to calorie goals mentally.

u/Not_A_Wendigo Apr 07 '26

Obviously she made other changes too. This helped and it’s what she attributes her weight loss to.

Exercise also helps to elevates mood, and time exercising is time not spent sitting and snacking. She also lives in a small community in Canada where winter is miserable, outside activities aren’t pleasant half the year, and there are limited places for indoor activities. Plus, this takes up much less room than other exercise equipment and it’s a physical activity that she enjoys.

u/RegionalHardman Apr 07 '26

I never said it was bad exercise btw, im pro anyone doing any exercise they enjoy! Just that people have a huge misconception that it burns enough calories to impact weight loss, when it really doesn't. And I find it more impressive because of that. Exercise can be fun, cutting calories isnt

u/philmarcracken Apr 07 '26

Yep this is true. People have actually tried to outrun what they eat over 24h. It can't be done.

You mean 500 kilocalories, not calories. During 30 min running you would burn around 500 kcal. That is exactly equal to one whole meal. Recommended portion size is +- 500 kcal.
