Ok so I need some help. Several places on the net have differing ideas on this topic and I'm not sure which to believe. Does your body become used to certain actions done daily so that you gain no benefit from them? I do a lot of repetitive walking and my app says I'm burning calories. Is it burning or does my body just become accustomed to it?

    you cannae change the laws of physics - if you walked up a 3000' mountain every day you would still need energy to do it. Your body may become trained and efficient at an activity but it'll still require energy input even if it's a bit less than when you started.

    So the calories the app says I burned maybe less?
