So,im trying to devise a good workout program that i can stick with,and help me lose some weight.Is it better to try and run 1 mile,or do a fast walk routine on the treadmill for about 2 miles?I think i can do a fast walk,not sure on the running part

If you're new to working out, I would probably start out by walking. As far as losing weight goes and to answer your question, running is better than walking as its more of an intense activity. The more intense the exercise, the more calories and fat you'll burn.

ye,thats what im thinking..i started today for a mile and a half walk through the subdivision and back.Tried to keep a steady pace,not too slow,but not jogging

If you are new to the workouts, definitely start by walking. Unless you feel you can really do a pretty good run. Running takes some time. And it takes some ambition. I fight with running daily!

If you want to lose weight you should walk a lot.It's the best.Don't start losing weight by joining gym.First start walking, get fit and then you can join the gym.

I try to run 3-4 miles a day, then if I get time in the evening, love to do a nice 30 minute walk.. It seems to help me!

I want to ask that in between running & walking what must be practiced regularly?
Which one is more beneficial for our health? Are both necessary & practiced timely?

Hi jeffro241,
When I started exercise 6 months before I start with walking, then jogging and finally running.
I increased my distance gradually and build my stamina first before going for jogging.

Let me inform you that with running a man burns 374 calories in thirty minutes
while in walking vigorously a man burns 170 calories in thirty minutes.
