Re: how many miles do you walk a day?

I walked for 2 hours last night at a pretty brisk pace, but I have no idea how many miles that might encompass. I would like to run, but running hurts. I've never been able to run for any amount of distance. I'm just not put together for it. I've thought about incorporating some sprints into my walks.

How does walking stack up against running as far as quality of exercise goes?

says it depends on how far your going, and what you really want.

It is no good if it makes you stop going...

Probably about a mile in normal activity.

My new place is very runner friendly so Im going to start running a mile at least 3 days a week. I cant do too much cardio b/c I have a fast metabolism and am skinny enough. I just want to exercise my heart.

I'm happy to say that I am now walking at least 3 miles a day! I'm taking my required PE class this semester and I chose walking. We walk 2.5 miles during class. And, I walk to all my classes instead of taking the bus.

Re: how many miles do you walk a day?

I read an article the other day claiming that you would burn more fat walking a mile than running a mile. The claim was that the extra time taken to walk the same distance would allow your metabolism to get into the "fat burning zone".

I may be a wuss, but all I know is that running hurts and walking doesn't. Having said that, I have to believe that running offers some cardiovascular benefits over walking.
