Walking can provide a lot of the same benefits of running. But running burns nearly 2x the number of calories as walking. For example, for someone who's 160 pounds, running at 5 miles per hour (mph) burns 606 calories. Walking briskly for the same amount of time at 3.5 mph burns just 314 calories..

thats the difference. work out accordingly

Some of us have kidney disease neuropathy resulting nerve damage to our legs and can't physically run nor ride a bike now, gregorylutan. I'm glad to be off of a cane for the first time in 8 years accordingly, but thanks for your input. You sure put a lot of thought into it, I can see, right down to the math I remember from my nutrition classes I took to qualify for the weight loss surgery that lost me 111lbs this year. I was just in and out of the hospital last week for a fall at home, so being off a cane just to walk around the house is a health challenge. Enjoy a good run for yourself, though, I used to enjoy them as well. As for me, at this stage of the game I'm grateful I can walk and keep the 111lbs pounds off. Let's keep it up, Rizen!

People have to do what's right for them in their lives.... So we share what we do as individuals and I would love to do a kick butt run but it doesn't work for me either physically anymore due to asthma especially in the winter

You can state your runs on here though if you want

I'll be getting out later today gentleman for my walk with Rascal..... Have a great today.....xo

I walked 3 miles.

Wish I could run, SC, but getting off of a cane after 8 years was a big step, literally. Glad you got your full 3 miles in, Rizen.

Walking the huge Mexico City airport today, Rizen. You'd be proud if you could see me go. Our walk a day routine really paid off. Last year I needed wheelchair assistance and this year I don't even need my cane. Thanks for being my walk a day partner, buddy, it really paid off.

That's great mujica.
I walked 3 miles today.

I walked 3 miles. It's been a lot warmer out.

i agree. though my walking days are over due to my foot issues, i try my aqua exercize classes and solos as much as i can. bit behind lately due to depression. over all my exercize is making me healthy and helps me battle my emotional mental disorders.

I've had a lot of foot issues from kidney disease neuropathy, Final, but last June when here in Mexico on a visit I decided to try to walk without my cane for the first time in 8 years. I fell hard first thing, out on the sidewalk in public. Folks came scurrying from all around to help pick me up. Very embarrassing, but I completed the walk without my cane anyway.

Last night I walked the same sidewalk here in Mexico, again without a cane, and did not fall. I can't believe it. It felt really good, and in the way you say it does, not just physically but emotionally, too. Keep up the aqua work, it's bound to pay off.

I walked about 3 miles today.

The full distance, Rizen, good for you. Me, I did double walks again last night. Instead of 30 mins like I do back in the USA, here in Mexico I did a 30 min walk up one of the city's pedestrian streets in the afternoon, and then another 40 min walk on a different pedestrian street at night. This town is a walker's paradise.

I hiked about 2 and a half miles.

I got emails from coworkers in the US and checked in on the US news to find that the sky is falling in the States, there's a big coronavirus panic going on. My college lengthened its Spring Break by a couple of days. Not much I can do about it but walk if off today, Rizen. Hope you're safe and well.

My nose got runny and I was sneezing a lot after my hike so I didn't walk yesterday. Today I took a mild 1 mile walk.
