Does it take the same calories to run ONE as it does to walk ONE mile.?

Answer 1

no. you burn more calories when you run because your heart rate increases.

Answer 2

I think you mean to ask "Do you BURN more calories walking a mile or running a mile?" The answer is running. The higher your heart rate, the more calories you are going to burn.

Answer 3

No, it doesn't. It takes MORE calories to run a mile than to walk a mile, because you are moving faster. It takes less time, so you are expending more energy.

Answer 4

You burn the same amount of calories, walking is a lot easier on your joints but running burns the same calories in shorter time.

Answer 5

1 mile of walking fast actually burns more calories than jogging for a mile because it is less efficient biomechanically ... i think the jogging burns more calories if it's a slow walk though

Answer 6

You burn more calories running the same distance than you would walking.

Answer 7

No, because you use different muscles. It takes more energy to run than to walk, because of the power you put into every step. If you run the whole way, you'd get there faster than walking, right? You need to spend extra energy to get that difference in speed.

Answer 8

The same amount of calories (i.e., energy)? Yes.

The same health benefit? No.

Generally, you're better off with more vigorous exercise.

Best wishes and God bless.

Answer 9

yes it does, but since jogging means you run more miles in the same amoutn of time, this translates to more calories/hour

Answer 10

Actually it does. Ideal heart rate for fat burning is about 60-70% theoretical max, which is 220-age.
