Swimming a mile per hour would burn the same 453 calories as running a 12 minute mile. Amazingly if you are running a 8 minute mile you would burn 708 calories. That's if you are 125 lb.

its hard to explain.. but this is what google said..\nThere's really no difference between running and jogging, although jogging is often used to describe running at a slow pace. Whichever you choose, all you need is a good pair of running shoes and a little enthusiasm\nhaha i find that funny.. well hope that helped u..\nhave a great day

Running 1 mile burns about 100 calories, so in one month, if you ran everyday, that's about 3000 calories.  You need to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound.  So running one mile daily, while it is good exercise, is not really enough to lose weight.  It would be better to build up to 3 - 5 miles every other day.  Then you would lose weight.  It won't make your thighs or butt bigger.

when i played football, i found that a swimming routine defiantly strengthens your legs, improves stamina, and definitely it helped me loose a few pounds and run faster. if you cant do that jogging is probably the next best thing.every day, at least a mile, at least. 2 is better. running up and down long flights of stairs or up hills will definitely help as well.

It's about practice.  The only things that can make you faster are getting stronger, getting better, and being more comfortable in the water.  Thats what practice is for.  When you talk about being a good runner that's great.  But it doesn't really match with being a good swimmer.  The cardio is going to be similar, but swimming is about full body strength, a lot of which is going to be in arms, shoulders, and your core.  I'm not a runner so I don't have that much knowledge about what that takes, but I am thinking that It's more legs, and less upper body.  \nSwim, then swim more.  When you feel tired, swim more.  Get some one to critic your strokes, then swim more.  If you can't be in the water, to exercises to increase your stamina and that allow you to make similar movements to your strokes.  Swimming takes more time, and more effort than most sports to change anything.

Each mile you run burns approximately 100 calories.  You need to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound.  So that's about 35 miles x 15 pounds or 525 miles.  If you run 25 miles per week, that's 21 weeks to lose 15 pounds.  That's just with pure running.  If you are also changing your eating habits, you should lose a bit quicker.

Running burns the most calories per minute.  But the best exercise for you is one that you enjoy.  If you hate to run and won't do it, but like to dance, then you should dance.  You'll lose more weight because you are more likely to do something you enjoy.  So try out different exercises like running, walking, swimming, aerobics, kickboxing, etc, and see what you like.

Building more muscle mass through free weights will burn more calories in the long run because Cardio only burns during the event and briefly after wards, but lean muscle tissue burns calories all the time. There is no standard rate of calorie "burn" for cardio since there are so many ways to do cardio. Sprinting burns more calories than jogging, but you can't sprint for an hour. If you want to maximize the weight loss effects of cardio you should keep your sessions around 40 to 60 minutes and work harder during that time using interval training.

Generally the guideline is  for a 150-lb person and is roughly 100 calories per mile. If you are heavier, you'll burn more calories per mile - if you are lighter you'll burn fewer.

Running does burn more calories, but you can keep walking for 1 hr and not feel tired or worn out from exercise.\n\nRunning is stressful on your joints, whereas walking is not.  Both forms of exercise are good for your heart.\n\nIt really depends on the amount of time you have for exercise.  And what you plan on doing afterwards.  I usually enjoy walking more, so I do more of it, and thus get more exercise.  Running is a pain, and so I tend to avoid it more.  The best form of exercise is one that you enjoy.

Definitely swimming. You move your ENTIRE body when you swim and you can swim as hard you want or you can take it easy as well. But basketball is easier to get it on as it's just a matter of getting on court and do it. So if you find swimming is too much hassle then just do basketball. Any sport is better than no sport. :)

If you can, try to fit both into your routine. Running burns calories while you exercise, and is good for your heart. Weight lifting will burn more calories in the long run, though. While you do not burn as much as running does while your exercising, it does add more muscle, which increases your metabolism, which burns more calories at rest.

my friend goes running and swimming and hes losing his...but run long distances and swim laps instead of just playing around...front crawl (freestyle) and back crawl (backstroke) and definitely breast stroke are probably the best swimming methods

if you swim laps before and do streches before to get you warmed upI swim 70 lengths of a 25meter pool at least 3 times a week. I have been doing this since I was little. It is good exercise but not great for losing weight. Then again it might work differently for you. 64 lenghts = 1 mile. Front crawl is best. If you have not swam for a while or never at all, built up your lengths add a few more on every night. Stop for a breather every 10 lengths of so and always bring water.yes swimming is exercise you burn 600 calories and hour and it really shapes your arms...try doing jumping jacks in the water...or doing rolling your arms in the pool (put your arms under the water and bend then in front of you and put one hand in front of the other and roll and do that for some time..or stand with your hands at your sides and bring your arms up and down ...try walking or running in the same stop you can also do modified squats or hold the side of the pool and bring your legs forward that what i do in the summer.Running is good but swimming is also good as well. It is a good form of exercise and workouts depend on the length of your pool. You should do many laps of swimmimg depending on your level of fitness. If you have not been swimming in a long time it may feel tiring at first but you will get used to it. As you get better you should increase the amount of swimming. A good idea is to join a swim class. Swimming is a good alternative to running because it doesnt have that high impact that running does. Oh yeah and before your swim workout you should strech, like your quads, calves, triceps, ect. I had a bad experience once. I was doing drills (The flutter kick thing) and right in the middle of the pool i got a cramp on my quad. It was painful. That is why you should strecth.

Most of the answers I've seen are offer dubious advice about the problems with running.  Running minute vs. swimming minute, running burns more calories than swimming. Running is also more convenient, you can do it practically anywhere, while swimming requires a pool and the right temperature.\n\nWhile swimming is a great source of exercise, do not discount running.  Yes, running can be damaging to one's joints, but only if someone abuses their body, involved competitively, and doesn't give it time to repair itself after hard training.  Swimming can also be tough on the shoulder joints.\n\nAll in all, enjoy both sports (I do), but don't discount running does indeed burn more calories.  You can prove this to yourself by using the calorie calculator at: http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc to determine how many calories you burn (based upon your weight and intensity).  I did running for 45 minutes (at 160 pounds) at a 6 mph pace (fairly slow) and 45 minutes of swimming at a moderate pace.  Swimming came in at 331 calories, running 547 -- nearly double that of swimming.\n\nGood luck.

Well like Athletics, there are different people for different distance, so we will presume you mean fastest sprinters. Some swimmers can maintain a high speed over a longer distance, while, obviously the sprinters get the total highest speed.\nAlexander Popov (russia) 50m mens record \nInge Debruin (Netherlands) 50m womens record
