Anyone here prefer walking>running when it comes to calorie burning?

[RainingBlood]

Of course running is better for the cardiovascular system, but I hate running.
brb heart and lungs hurt for 10 minutes straight.
brb boring as fukk.
Im gonna start walking 40 minutes on the treadmill every day. The treadmill says I burn near 300 calories, but I believe it's around 150-200.

Low intensity cardio has all the same cardiovascular benefits, just doesn't benefit your VO2 max like running does.

LISS da gawd.

I burn 100 calories just sitting on my chair in front of a computer.

So HIIT and walking at a 3mph pace will yield the same cardiovascular benefits? What about lung capacity?

For every 100 you burn by doing nothing, I probably only burn 50 .

low-moderate paced stair master is my favorite

Depends on length of time, but yes you'll see improvements in cholesterol, triglycerides, and other markers of heart health from both. Just don't expect walking to make you a star athlete.

Why is that?

Why is that?

<- Cuts on 2k calories a day at 1.5lbs a week.
I'd also enjoy some barbecue chicken right now...

I did a cut at 2.1k losing 1.5lb a week so you're not that far..

I'm 6 inches taller than you and 40 pounds heavier -__-.

Keep at it and you'll get better. Also, man up.

Nice excuse. Then run outside, it's better than a treadmill anyway.

Or you could run for 40 minutes instead and actually make some progress. Just a thought.

[stefanuus]

LISS all the way, whenever i overeat i just ditch the bus and walk to wherever i need....end up burning more cals than i intended to and add a meal

[ZackeryVon]

IMO

Tire Flipping>Sprints>Brisk Walking>Jacking Off>Running

No me gusta running. Not saying it isn't effective, I just hate it.

[SaviorSelfJT]

Lol?

Progress in terms of what?

Cardio is a waste of time if your goal isn't heart health. The most efficient way to burn calories is to just not eat them.

[PogBoyyy]

Running gets A LOT better if you have

1. base level of fitness
2. decent music on an ipod
3. a route you can use without interruptions

-I once ran everyday for 2 months and nothing changed. I eventually got up to 20 minutes without stopping and a medium intensity. I hated every minute of it.
-Nice assumption. Never said I ran on a treadmill, did I? Just said walked on one.
-Or, I could walk for 40 minutes and continue to burn extra calories without doing something I hate doing.

[JaredPunch]

Cardio is a waste of time if your goal isn't heart health. The most efficient way to burn calories is to just not eat them.

I have seen a difference between eating less and burning way less and eating more but burning more
When the caloric deficit is created mostly with food reduction I end up more emaciated, tired looking
But if I burn more by being more active and eat more while still creating the same deficit I lose fat without the emaciation/tiredness side-effects
60% deficit through food and 40% deficit through extra exercise seems what works best for me

Also, why don't you jog?
At 4.5 miles per hour you still burn 300 calories in less than an hour

[rkalsow]

Yep incline treadmill

[ErikTheElectric]

Cardio is cardio. But I would prefer cycling obviously.

But in regards to the OP's question, walking at a steep incline would get the job done.

Those effects are all in your head, or you are having nutrient deficiencies.
I don't run or jog because my joints can't take it, a few years ago I obtained a stress fracture from running and permanently quit.

I do cardio for health purposes. It consists of walking my dog daily for ~45 minutes and I started to pick up oly lifting. Do several set of 10 snatches and you will feel like you are on fire, or at least I do.

As long as you understand that the weight loss is from a caloric deficient and not the exercise itself, I have no objections to make

(no creeper with the smiley lol)

Progress in terms of getting faster/better endurance/losing fat etc.

Cardio is a waste of time if your goal isn't heart health. The most efficient way to burn calories is to just not eat them.

Because not eating raises your metabolism for hours afterwords to help burn excess calories and get rid of fat. Oh wait, it doesn't.

[FiringSquad]

>ran everyday for 2 months and nothing changed.

...That means you DID improve, you idiot

Nice assumption. Never said I ran on a treadmill, did I? Just said walked on one.

And I never said you ran on a treadmill either. Don't put words in my mouth. I said running outside is better than running on a treadmill. That does go for walking as well.

Or, I could walk for 40 minutes and continue to burn extra calories without doing something I hate doing.

I was just offering an alternative to accelerate your goals. But take the easy way out if that suits you better.

I do love how you negged me over 1680 points just because I disagreed with you. I could literally feel your butthurt seeping through my screen when I got that notification. If your skin is that thin you're better off not being on the internet all together.

[guitarcrazy44]

I feel 30 second of sprinting followed by 45 seconds of walking is easier on the knees.

The only thing he would have gained is a little endurance. Not a big deal.

And the fat burning characteristics of cardio are minimal; they exist to no appreciable extent.

[Nathan17]

someone should make virtual sunglasses for a treadmill so its not so damn boring

hot as fuarkk outside no thanks

[42thpianist]

If you're going to walk, why not walk outside? Walking on a treadmill for 40 minutes is probably the same as walking outside for about 25 minutes - the belt of the treadmill makes it way easier, and you're not really using that time to maximum efficiency.

2.5/10 because I responded. Your trolling form needs work.

-You did say I ran on a treadmill. You told me to run outside instead of on a treadmill. Where would I be running if it wasn't outside?

Offering alternative advice to accelerate my goals? My goals are to burn calories to increase fat loss. I negged you because you came into MY thread acting like a smartass.
I'll rep you in 7 days if I see you give good, helpful advice. Unlike what you gave me.

How is he trolling? Cardio has no fat burning characteristics...

[ptwa9]

Yeah it's better for your joints too. Years of running will just wear you out. Ancestors outsmarted prey, they didn't outrun them... we're not built to run.

Yea, actually we ARE built to run -- just not marathons.
