Does walking 3 miles burn the same calories than jogging 3 miles?

Question

I mean, because if you brisk walk you'll workout for a longer period of time. And if you jog, you finish quicker...any ideas?

Answer 1

The walking does not get the metabolic rate up enough so it won't be high for the next couple of hours. Do powerwalking (walking as fast as you can). It is low impact. The reason for this is when you are doing nothing you are still burning some calories. So the walking does not bring it up high enough above this rate of what you burn just watching.

Answer 2

This is a far more complicated question than most of the answers here seem to suggest.

The general consensus is that mile for mile, running, "jogging" and walking will burn *approximately* the same number of calories. From a energy expenditure standpoint, you are doing the same amount of "work" in each case -- you're moving the mass of your body the same distance.

The complications come from the fact that the body can be more or less efficient at doing the same work at different paces. The most efficient you are, the fewer calories are burned. A brisk "speed walk" at a certain pace can in fact be *less* efficient than jogging at the same pace, meaning that the walking will burn more calories. At other paces, the opposite can be true.

All in all, if time is not a factor, then jogging or walking your 3 miles will burn a comparable number of calories. If time is a consideration, you will absolutely burn more calories jogging for a fixed amount of time than walking the same amount of time.

Answer 3

I know that both a fast paced walk and light jogging burn more fat and calories than say, running more than 6 mph or walking less that 4 mph. You burn the most calories when your heart rate is between 90 and 120(fat burning mode), anything more than that is considered cardio and anything less is jkust a warm up. I recommend walking/jogging between 4 and 6 mph to burnt the most calories.

Answer 4

Jogging burns more calories rapidly because its more strenuous. But though brisk walking is a little bit less you can walk more always. Its just the question of time.

Answer 5

Jogging for three miles might burn extra energy when you consider that you frame demands extra power to jog than it does to stroll. Hence why whilst you jog for a distinctive distance you pulse/center cost is larger than if you have walked that distance

Answer 6

Running for 3 miles would burn extra energy for the reason that you physique desires extra power to jog than it does to stroll. For this reason why while you jog for a certain distance you pulse/heart expense is bigger than if you have walked that distance

Answer 7

I do know that Jump roping for 10 minutes burns the same calories as 30 min of running.

Answer 8

Jogging burns more fat and calories, but walking is good too because it isn't as hard on your joints and it can still help to raise your metabolism.

Answer 9

Jogging will definitely burn more calories because you're exerting more energy. You're "stepping it up a bit" it's a great way to break through a plateau.

Answer 10

it depends on how fast you jog. jogging fast is better than walking slow, but walking fast is better than jogging slow.

jogging fast is better than walking slow...for obvious reasons.

walking fast is better than jogging slow has to do with the fact that your body exerts more energy walking fast because it puts your body in an awkward position that it's not used to. also, jogging slow is almost the same as walking. when you jog fast, you're actually hopping from foot to foot. the slower you jog, the more your feet just sort of walk....if you know what i mean.
