Is running or walking better for losing weight? Which one will get faster results?

Running a mile and walking a mile burn the same calories.  In running you do it faster.  So if you're short on time -run.  If you hate to run -walk, but expect more time commitment.

You can't slow down aging - it is constant.  However, you can slow the impact that aging has on you.  Exercise in general is one way, and hence, so is walking.  By the way, I think swimming is better for you...esp as you get older.  It burns more calories per hour than walking or jogging, and easier on the joints.  Also, it works your whole body, not just the legs.

Yes you could lose weight by running 1 hour per day.  Running is a bigger calorie burner than swimming, but it is fine to mix them up.\n\nGenerally, running burns 100 calories per mile or 100 calories per 10 minutes.  Your calorie burn will vary depending upon your fitness level and how hard you are working.\n\nSo assuming you burn 500 calories per run, it'll take you (theoretically speaking) 10 weeks to lose 10 pounds (7 days per week at 500 calories, where 3500 calories equals one pound).  \n\nHowever, running that much might result in injury, especially if you currently aren't a runner.  I recommend hitting the pool or an elliptical trainer.  Your body will enjoy the change of pace and you'll put less stress on your joints and you'll have less burnout.\n\nI usually run about 25 - 30 miles a week and hit the gym for weights 4 x week and I've maintained my weight for years.\n\nYou can use a site such as www.fitday.com to monitor your calories and activities to see how you are doing.  Keep in mind, you certainly aren't overweight and I'd recommend using running for fitness, not a weight loss tool.\n\nGood luck.

I bought a treadmill that says how many pounds you've lost and it really encouraged me to keep going and lose weight.\nAnd I did! If you can't afford one try taking a daily run around your neighborhood or on a bikepath or just run! Running is the quickest way; I'm a believer!

I did Weight Watchers and walked on my treadmill for 3 miles per day and I lost 35 pounds in a little over 2 months.  Definitely cut back your caloric intake and start walking or running.

I have actually found I got better results from speed walking with bouts of slow jogging than any other exercise. \nIt's hard to get your technique correct if you running so if you slow it down a bit, it's easier to hold you stomach in, swing and punch your arms and tighten your behind. I don't know how far a mile is coz I work with kilometres. But as long as you go for a least half and hour a day and watch what you eat, you will see results

It is easier for men to lose the fat on their stomachs then woman. try to incorporate jogging into the walking. Defiantly do weight training and start doing Ab exercises they will help tremendously. But running and jogging will help burn up those calories. And if you have a bad diet start changing that to you will then have less calories to burn and then the exercise you do will help focus on the stored fat on your body.

You need to learn more about diet and exercise before you can effectively lose weight.  Try Weight Watchers they are a very sensible weight loss group and you will learn about nutrition and exercise.  Fast can kill you...slow and steady wins the race.

I would first reccomend that you talk to your Doctor about getting medication to help your thyroid problem.\n\nAfter that, I think running is the best way to lost weight.  It keeps your metabolism up, your heart rate up, and the more you sweat, the more you lose!\n\nStart off small, run maybe 1/2 mile, and add another 1/2 mile every week or every 2 weeks.

There is no such thing as spot-reduction when it comes to losing weight.  It is a myth, and don't believe anyone telling you otherwise.  If you are going to lose weight on your legs, you will lose it everywhere else also.  That said, running is probably the best exercise because along with losing weight you will be building the muscles in your legs and core (lower abs and back) which will give you a healthier, and slimmer, appearance.

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.

your weight is good, no need to lose ny of it. just do regular exercise to keep fit (not to lose weight). this may include 20-30 mins of walking/jogging a day.

Take up running! That will take the pounds off faster than anything else, along with proper diet of course. Don't be discouraged if you find running difficult at first. Work up to one mile over the course of several weeks (exact times vary, as everyone is different). Walk a bit then run a bit. Slowly decrease the amount of time you walk until you can run a full mile. Then start adding a second mile, etc. You will amaze yourself! For an even speedier weight loss, add in weight lifting. Even doing simple exercises with free weights (start with 1-3 pound weights and gradually add weight) can increase your metabolism considerable. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so it would behoove you to do what you can to build muscle if your goal is to burn fat. Eat lots of lean meat and veggies. Don't give up carbohydrates altogether, but cut back on them, and eat only whole grain breads. Also, don't eat processed foods of any type. Hope this info helps. Best of luck to you. Congratulations on the birth of your little one.
