Is Running good than walking?

i have to prefer walking to running too. poor me. actually i prefer running. but i had problem with my knee. so i have to choose walking rather than running.

I would say walking is better than running. Walking has less impact than running. Walking is less stress on the body and you can meditate more when you walk than run. Walking to me is peaceful and serene. I enjoy walking. Running is exhilarating in itself but I prefer to walk.

You would probly burn more Calories running I would think. Have a nice weekend!

well, you run (no pun intended) to get shin splints from running and you don't when you walk, you also run a greater risk of other injuries if you, say, fall you do have to walk longer than you need to run, but other than that, walking is probably safer.

I read somewhere that walking is better because you don't get tired easily by doing it and since it allows you to walk longer, you get to burn more calories. But if you want more heart pumping, then running is recommended.

hello. i think both are good forms of exercise. it depends on what suits you best. they say though that walking is the best form of exercise.

Well, I think it depends on what you are going to do. If you are talking about exercise, then running would most likely give you more endurance and more burned calories. But in normal activities, walking would be the practical thing to do. I have read that walking at least 20-30 minutes at least 5 times a week will definitely improve health. It will also reduced the risk of hypertension, heart disease and other cardiac related emergencies.

I prefer walking too because I find running causes too many injuries for me. I used to do a lot of aerobic dancing and, because I am prone to it, I ended up with shin splints which are stress fractures to the shins and it renders even normal walking to become very painful. Running aggravates my shin soreness and the constant jarring is not good for me, so walking it is; it's a great past time and you can turn it into a meditation session if you like or just listening to music while you walk is very pleasant.

Hello,I think of running and walk is good exercise .They are able to exercise .But the strength of running, not too easy. While walking for everyone ,can make a person long .Walking can listen to music,can increase the pleasure that physical exercise not boring ,more interesting. Choose which kind of sport,the key is to see if suit oneself,suit oneself only is the best.

I think most people will say running is better. But for me, I walk all my working hours (my job require walking and pacing) that I think I have burnt my calories with walking just like running for 20 minutes. I guess it's walking for me.

I like walking,for I am in the school now ,and the life rhythm is not so fast ,and I also do not like the fast life rhythm,so if it is not necessary, i usually walk on my way.
