Should you walk or jog? The debate is never ending! Which one is better for you? Which one will help you lose weight faster? The fact remains that jogging does burn more calories than walking. But simply because of that fact, we tend to ignore walking as a great form of exercise. By placing more emphasis on jogging as a faster means to lose weight we are not doing justice to our bodies. What if we told you that walking is more than exercise? Walking is our birthright and we’re not capitalizing on it as much as we should.
Advantage of jogging – It is a powerful weight loss tool, burns calories, makes you feel good (who’s up for endorphins!), fights stress, helps relax your mind while your body takes over, the list is endless.
Advantage of brisk walking – Brisk walking is not very far behind, when it comes to calories burnt. In fact, a slow jog is pretty comparable to brisk walking. Brisk walking does not leave the exerciser prone to injuries, something that jogging can be known to do. Brisk walking fights inflammation and builds
immunity.
