Does walking or jogging burn more fat?

can someone tell me if I'm right? I hurd that walking burns fat and jogging builds muscle. so if I wanted to loose/burn fat I should power walk. is that true? if not what bunrsmore fat?

to burn fat, you need to either walk or sprint but don't jog. Even though jogging might burn more calories than walking, jogging works your muscles while walking and sprinting draws energy from your fat or glucose storage... I can't remember.

Keeping your heart rate up (look it up according to your age and weight) in the fat burning zone for 30 minutes a day is what burns it. Jogging is a cardio activity and gets your heartrate sky high with a quickness. But walking as fast as you possibly can keeps you in a fat burning zone with your heartrate just below cardio levels.

The best workouts to lose fat are long low intensity ones. If you are trying to loose fat you are better off walking 4 miles in an hour than jogging 2 miles in 20 minutes. From a cardiovascular point of view the 2 mile 20 minute jog may be superior though.

The thing is if you have a set amount of time to exercise you are better off increasing the intensity to burn more calories. You burn a greater number of calories in an intense workout than an easy one. If time is not limited you are better off increasing the length of the workout than the intensity though.

I lost weight by walking and fast paced walking. I also would turn up the radio and dance lol

Best way: high intensity intervals. Walk at a fast enough rate that it would be hard to speak normally to someone, for say, a minute. Then run for a minute. Keep alternating. It may be hard at first so you could walk for 5 minutes then run for only a minute. Either way the goal is to eventually be able to do 50/50 of both.

Actually filletofspam had it right. Walking does burn more fat than running. Running uses glycogen stores, and so does sprinting.

However, to burn the MOST fat of all, you want to use a tricky combination. First, run as fast as you can for 20 minutes. This places the body under stress for a sufficient time to cause the release of hormones that will break down fat (such as somatotrophin, and epinephrine). After this, you walk for 30 minutes. Now that you have the stress hormones attaching to beta receptorcites, you can walk and burn even MORE fat. This doesn't work nearly as well with HIIT training.

if you build muscle by jogging...muscle burns more calories on it's own. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn on a day-to-day basis.
