    Perhaps if you were carrying a backpack filled with 100 pounds of wet concrete and walked really fast, uphill, in the snow for 8 miles. Otherwise, no.

    Why does it have to be wet concrete?

    I walk for cardio. I do strength training with resistance bands and weights. Though lugging around all this extra weight, sometimes I feel like I'm strength training :p

    It is strength and cardio.

    It takes strength to walk. You build strength in several different ways walking. It is also a cardiovascular exercise.

    Technically speaking, It is impossible for it to be one and not the other.

    Because I don't think 100 lbs of dry concrete would fit in a backpack? Not sure 100 lbs would either, but it seems more plausible. I mean... Since everything in this thread has to be totally plausible.

    So now that this thread has gotten ridiculously long for a simple answer....

    OP, why does it matter? Are you thinking about tracking it differently in MFP?

    It all depends

    If you are walking ...away from a cheesecake it is "strength"
    When you walk away from your mother in law it is "endurance"
