I have regular use of a treadmill aiming to lose a few kilo's and am wondering if running is better than walking to lose weight.

I would say a combination of both running and walking would be most effective. Running tends to put more stress on the joints and can cause pain, whereas walking is less stressful and you still do burn calories, even if it's at a slower rate. I would try walking for 2 or 3 minutes, then bumping the speed up gradually. Gradual changes though, so your heart has a chance to accellerate for the amount of work you're doing. Plus you'll be able to run for longer if you gradually step up to running speed. Good luck though!

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.
I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.
It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.
Get started today!

Walking is best in My opinion.
While walking , you should keep a pace that allows you to talk comfortably.
If you can't talk without gasping then you are working too hard. So slow down and walk at a brisk pace for at least 20minutes every day, and you will be surprised.

It is not the activity.. Its the intensity... You can slow job and it will not be as effective as walking fast over a longer distance... Diet plays a part too... Try to reduce your carbo intake and work out at the same time.. It should be effective...

Start out walking. It will be easier on your muscles. After you have done good stretch exercises!!!
Stretches are important before and after you excercise to keep from getting muscle spasms and or cramps.
The best excercise all around is swimming!!!!
Don't go headlong into excercise or you will not get the same results. Be good to yourself, it's the only one you get.

brisk walking - as u'll b able 2 maintain a constant speed for a longer duration than running as u may tend to get tired quickly.
