Do you burn more calories jogging than you do walking? Obviously if you have an hour to work out you can do a lot more jogging than you can walking but if
you decide the distance rather than the amount of time you will spend exercising..does it make a difference?
Does one burn more calories jogging a mile rather than walking or is it the same but jogging is just quicker?

I don't know, but I know that jogging is tougher on your knees.

You burn about 100 calories for every mile whether it's running or walking so if you're working out for 30 mins, you'll hit every mile quicker
jogging than walking therefore burning more calories. You can burn the same amount of calories walking but you'll have to do it for a longer period of
time.

Do you burn more calories walking to pick up the pizza or driving the car to pick it up?

IIRC, you burn the same amount of calories based on the distance. So jogging 1 mile and walking 1 mile will do the same. As far as increasing cardiovascular functioning and lung efficiency, jogging is better for you. Burning fat wise, low to moderate aerobic activity works best (ie: breaking a sweat but not short of breath). |

Really? You burn the same per mile? If you're strolling along taking your time for a mile, not working at all, you burn the same amount as if you ran
full speed for that mile?
Surely the all out run is better for your heart. |

Walking is pretty much the best exercise anyone can do. I remember my grandparents taking a walk every night after dinner, and they lived very functional lives
well into their 90s. I suspect that if everyone walked for an hour a day, we'd eliminate the majority of age-related heart problems.
Also, a lot of the people I see at the gym do way too much cardio. Especially those freakish women who spend hours on stairclimbers so that their bones pop through their skin. Ewwww! Don't try to control your weight using cardio -- reduce your caloric intake. Cardio exercise is for your heart and lungs, not weight control. One person I respect summed it up this way, "If you're doing more than 30 minutes of cardio 3 times a week, you'd better be doing it for something other than fitness." |

About 3/4 of weight loss is from a proper diet. The other 1/4 is a combination of cardio and resistance exercise. There is also a percentage (how much is
variable) based on your genetics, hormones, thyroid, etc....) that determines a person's weight and their weight loss potential.
Penelope, you are correct. Running is better for your heart but calorie wise, it doesn't make a difference. Just don't expect to bike a mile and burn a 100 calories because that doesn't work.

Oh please
Have you ever gone up to some skinny, buff, in-shape person and asked how they stay so good looking. And they answer, "Oh I walk." You all are a bunch of fatties if you buy into that dumbest thread ever |

One person I respect summed it up this way, "If you're doing more than 30 minutes of cardio 3 times a week, you'd better be doing it for something other than fitness." But your body kicks into fat burning mode after approximately 30 minutes of strong cardio, so that makes no sense to me. How could it possible hurt to run 5 days a week? Fat burning at my age(37) is in the heart rate zone of between 100 - 130ish, cardio training is between 130 - 160ish, so if you're high enough to be in cardio training mode you must be burning the fat too. |

well, it looks like the question has been answered several times, yes you burn the same amount of calories in one mile whether it is walking jogging
skipping, hopping, or biking. You don't get the same aerobic benefit so if you are looking to do more than burn calories I would jog.
Swimming is the best aerobic exercise you can get, it works your entire body and you get the best cardio workout without the strain on your joints. |

The good thing about running instead of jogging will be the afterburn. After you're done with the exercise and you're sitting on your butt watching TV,
if your heart rate was up high for a longer time, then you'll burn calories at a faster rate for the next few hours.

I don't find swimming strenuous enough.

Penelope McBagpipe wrote: Unfortunately, no. How the body uses energy goes like this: First, it uses up stored glucose in the muscles. This goes fairly quickly. Then, the liver uses its stored glycogen. After about 10-20 minutes, this reserve is gone. After that, your body uses a mixture of fat and protein and any sugars it can find for energy. Fat is harder to utilize for energy and thus it is spared as much as possible. When you are in the fat burning zone, the body is utilizing primarily fat at the largest proportion for energy. Above that, and it starts to shunt to protein and any glucose it can find with the proportion of fat falling. Also, if you fast for 48 hours to try and lose weight....your body will primarily eat the muscle first. Sorry for the anorexics...it doesn't work. |

Whenever I go to the gym, I always go on the treadmill at a "fast walk" speed.
The difference is I put the incline as high as it can go, so its as if I'm walking up a hill. I feel like I sweat the most and burn more calories by doing a fast walk on a high incline, then I do when I run on a fat surface. |

EPOC I believe it's called. I can't remember what the acronym stands for. I'll have to look it up later since I'm off to work. Anyone know? Basically, the harder and/or longer you workout, the more calories you burn post-exercise. |

This is one of those times in which I would listen very carefully to what jibbers has to say, since he is knowledgable in the subject (somwhat).

Guatevia said about running vs. walking, you don't get the same post workout burn one gets because of the cooling effects of water and no weight bearing
stuff land exercises have. I enjoy the water, for I am old(ish)!
