Why does it have to be wet concrete?0 -

I don't think there is, everyone says no, except the people who being sarcastic who say yes, but mean no!0 -
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 training0

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.0 -
Just no. No to the muscle as well.0

Why does it have to be wet concrete?
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?0 -
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"0 -
