You do realize that if I were to walk 45 minutes at 4mph or run 20 minutes at 6mph....I would burn more calories in half the time? You do know that dont you? Also, walking is ineffective in making permanent physiological changes like stroke volume of the left ventricle, capillary bed density, mitochondrial formation, nerve fiber conduction. You do know that dont you?

I will not engage in arguments about exercise. I know what i know.

We are talking about jogging around for 20-30 minutes to maximize fat burn and ramp up overall metabolism. Lets not confuse this thread with talking about running 40-50 miles a week.

Now you talk about diet and carbs. What you do to refill the coffers after a workout isnt exclusive to "running". If you eat like shit after any workout you are going to see no improvement in muscle appearance.

Thoughts?

I would rather jog for 20 minutes and burn more calories in less time. Like I said, we were talking about jogging a little to burn calories. We arent talking about marathon training,

As a 190lb man I would burn 302 calories jogging for 30 minutes.
I would burn 222 calories walking for 30 minutes.

If I up my walk to 45 minutes I burn 333 calories.

I'd rather walk for 45 minutes than run for 30. And I'd burn more calories in the process. And I don't slowly kill my joints.

Your 45 minutes of walking doesnt ramp your Basal metabolic rate like a higher aerobic exercise like running. your 45 minutes of walking burns 45 minutes of calories and that is about it. my running increases my metabolic rate for hours afterward. I burn more calories sleeping at night by running then if I just walked.
