Wow, that's interesting. That raises the question though: Would walking on loose dirt burn even more, since one is not on a solid surface? I would think it might.

To get ready for soccer season in high school some of us diehards would go to the beach and run in the sand. Anyone ever tried to play beach soccer. If you're not in shape you'll pass out.

I never knew that. I am not sure why the hard dirt would help you to burn more, did it say why???? I would think the hard dirt and the pavement would be about the same to walk on.

there's a scientific explanation to this fact.
On pavement we get the required push to walk easily as the surface is hard,but on dirt it is not so.
