Running or Walking?

Fitness is paramount to overall health, and walking and running are two simple forms of exercise you can pretty much do anywhere. Weight loss and cardiovascular, those both activities are great ways to stay in shape, however if you want to drop weight faster, running wins. Running is more strenuous, so there’s no surprises the potential calorie burn is far greater.
Researchers found that post-exercise appetite suppression is greater after vigorous exercise, with participants eating fewer calories post workout — provided you don’t fall into the trap of a post-workout splurge and ‘reward’ yourself with a few extra slices of pizza.

However, running isn’t for everyone. Going full speed increases the risk of injury. In fact, running produces ground reaction forces of approximately 2.5 times body weight compared to 1.2 times that for walking.
Whenever you start a new form of exercise your heart, muscles, and bones all need time to adapt, and too much too soon (without adequate recovery) makes you susceptible to strains, sprains, stress fractures, and even overtraining and illness. For this reason, it’s important to build up gradually and listen to how your body responds.

If i could choose, i would choose running, although walking is the perfect place to start if you’re new to exercise. In other words, the harder you work, the more calories you’ll burn, which is the key to losing weight. Brisk walking and running both improve heart health provided you build up gradually and do it regularly.Walking and running are both safe when included as part of a balanced exercise program. To prevent overtraining, alternate days of walking or running with strength training. Listening to the body and completing a proper warm-up and cool down is key in preventing injuries. Whether you choose to run or walk will depend on your goals and preferences. It’s important to check with your GP before starting an intense training program.
