• Is walking actually a more effective way to work out instead of running

    Walking is easier, but just like buying a pre-made meal at the grocery stores, it comes
    with a price.

    Walking is an easy way to get steps in and burn calories. An hour of walking burns
    anywhere from 250˙350 calories, but to say this is more effective than running would be
    a lie. Running at a moderate pace for an hour burns about 900˙1,100 calories. Isn˙t
    really a comparison, right?

    Walking will not burn the same calories, get you in shape as fast, or grow your mental
    strength as effective as running.

    Instead, walking is an effective starter exercise and won˙t seem as daunting, but that˙s
    about it.

    If your goal is weight loss or getting shape, then only walking will waste your time.
    While I˙m a big advocate for walking, I usually walk 10K steps a day, but it has nothing
    on running. What you achieve in hours of walking you gain in a fraction of the time while
    running. The only good thing walking has over running is that it doesn˙t hurt the same
    way.

    You can walk for two hours every day without any issues, but run for an hour and you
    probably have to wait 1˙2 days before you do it again.

    Running is more effective than walking, but walking can be done every day and rewards
    you with something more than improved health.
