Burning Calories, Running Vs Walking.
Walking for health and fitness can mean anything you want, from a
mountain hike to a stroll along the beach. A walk with family and
friends or a chance to get away from it all, think and unwind. It’s all
up to you. You can do it anywhere, anytime. How about now?
Which is a better for you, walking or jogging? This is always a hot
debate. How much you weigh, your speed, the distance you travel
and how long you exercise are all major factors in determining
calories burned and the cardio vascular benefits.
Walking is one of the most efficient low impact workouts available.
There are no fees to pay, no special facilities to attend, and it’s as
easy to do as strolling around the block.
All things being equal, you will burn more calories by running an hour than walking an hour. It is true that walking a mile will
burn more calories than running a mile -- although it takes longer to do so. When you run a mile, you're burning mostly
sugar, or carbohydrates, which is how your body gives you fast energy in bursts. When you walk a mile, it gives your
metabolism time to switch from burning carbohydrates to burning fat."
How many calories one burns depends on a variety of factors such as fitness level, your metabolism, your weight and the
intensity of the workout. "Larger people burn more calories than smaller people, particularly with activities like walking or
stair climbing where they have to carry their own weight
If you are overweight, recovering, or haven't exercised in a while, you should probably begin by walking; it's much easier on
your heart and joints. And walking is often more convenient, you can walk almost anywhere, anytime, without special clothes
or a post-workout shower.
Jogging is not the same as walking. Jogging requires more muscle for the added speed, up-and-down bouncing, deeper
breathing, and balancing. A beginner to exercise should begin an exercise program with walking not jogging. The pace to
make walking aerobic is greatly reduced for a person who is overweight, older, or unfit. The best way to exercise gently and
rest, exercise gently and rest, over and over. This should be done until the body is more fit and the resting heart rate
gradually decreases. Then the body will be ready to begin sustained jogging, not before.
