which is better for loosing weight, walking or running?

Question:

Answers:
The calories burned is determined by the distrance traveled. For ex., it may take you 20 minutes to walk a mile and only 10 to run it, but you'll burn the same amount of calories. Running just gets the job done faster. Running is hard on your joints, but it is also excellent for your cardiovascualar health. My advice to you is walk and gradually build some running into your routine to avoid injury. Sprinting is an anaerobic work out. It doesn't burn calories so much as it builds muscle, but muscle tone and definition are good, it that's a goal of yours.

Walking is okay for a cool down. Runnning is hard on your body. The best is sprinting.

walking

The best is in between . jogging .. it helps raise ur body motabloism..

You exert more energy when running, but it takes a heavier toll on your body.

Combine the two and take up cycling.

Swimming laps! I promise!.and it doesn't hurt. You will lose inches faster than you can imagine. The pounds pour off. It is also mentally therapeutic. See ya 'round the pool!

for loosing weight, best is Running at a comfortable speed (where you can talk while running) and try to last for at least 30 minutes and then increase the time. or walk at a fast enough pace to get your heart rate up. sprinting or walking slowly is not efficient for weight loss

Swimming is the best. Brisk waking is better next.

Interval training.walk for a minute, then sprint for a minute.then walk.etc etc etc..most effective for burning off calories..

swimming i guess would b e best
friendly to your joints, yr builds up muscles and cardio

Running is the best way to lose inches, but it is very hard on your joints, (it leads to arthritis). Power walking acomplishes the same thing as running or jogging, but is easier on your body. As long as you get your heart rate up, you burn calories. If you really want a good work out to lose mega inches and weight, combine 45 minutes of power walking with a 15 minute shiatsu ball workout. I dropped 5 sizes in 1 month doing that rutine 3-4 times a week while watching my calories, fat and carbs. Also water is essential for weight loss. Drinking cranberry juice as a supplement helps too, since it gets your urinary tract work up to par to get rid of excess water weight.

go to a gym, and look at the weight of the walkers vs. the runners. the runners are WAY thinner. case closed.

For me personally I am extremely out of shape and have exercise induced asthma so I usually walk versus run. I do like to jog for a few minutes from time to time though.
