219. Calories Burned Walking vs. Jogging

I’m Steve Turano. Welcome to Subcity Body Performanace. I received a question recently. The question was “Does walking burn the same amount of calories as jogging or running?” And the answer is “No it doesn’t!” Walking burns less calories than the jogging or running. But you know? Jogging or running don’t burn all that many or more calories than walking. So if you can walk, that’s great. If you can jog and walk, that will be better. See? Because your body utilized and more intensely you use it, the more calories you will burn. But, more importantly, more of the fact that your body burn calories while exercising. What happens is the metabolic changes in your body, then cause your body to utilize fat as energy source as you getting better shape. It causes your body to give up fat as energy source, as you getting better shape.

It causes your body to become more receipted to insulin, which is contrary (to) what happens when you become Type II diabetics. Your body becomes more resistant to insulin. So it’s not just important the number of calories you burn while exercising and you will burn little bit more when jogging and running, but most importantly its metabolic changes occur when you exercise. And the harder you exercise, a.k.a. (as known as) jogging and running, walking, jogging and running, pushing your heart rate, working on your cardiovascular system, stressing yourself a little bit. The more you do that, the more you getting in shape, the more your body will utilizes and give up fat as an energy source.

Love your body!
