Let’s get straight to the point – which is better for fat loss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were to run for 30 minutes, you would burn more calories than you would power walking for 30 minutes. But walking and running are both important for optimum fat loss. Here’s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is: BOTH!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RUNNING IS REALLY GREAT BECAUSE:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1) It burns lots of calories
\n2) It increases your cardiovascular fitness which also increases your anaerobic threshold. This means that you can exercise longer and at a higher intensity in the “fat burning” zone and as a result, burn more fat.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POWER WALKING IS GREAT BECAUSE: <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1) It burns FAT<\/strong>. Because it is a lower intensity exercise, your body uses glucose and fat to produce energy. Your body uses other energy sources (such as glycogen and creatine phosphate) to produce energy during higher intensity exercise.
2) It is less intense on your body and your joints so you can do this exercise for longer periods of time and more frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
