[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, the cals burned running vs walking just doesn't justify running for me.

The main thing is that running can raise cortisol levels. Cortisol directly affects fat storage and weight gain. It might throw off your appetite too.

I prefer to walk briskly. [/quote]

Running burns nearly double the amount of calories. I still haven’t found another exercise that elevate my heart rate as  running does.[/quote]

I'm not big. I burn 80 vs 60 cals per mile. The wear on my joints is just really not worth that 20-calorie difference. It was an injury that made me realize I could still stay fit without running.[/quote]

:roll: I know plenty of people with joint problems--& people with ample fat storage--who were never runners or exercisers. Injuries can certainly happen, but I don't think that's a good reason for people to give up an exercise that's generally associated with good joint health, weight maintenance, & overall physical wellbeing. Honestly, you're more probably more likely to get injured if you don't make intensive physical exercise part of your regular regimen.[/quote]

(PP) Of course. Being overweight can actually lead to joint problems. But no one has to give up anything. E.g. I prefer hiking and strength training over running now.
Swimming seems like a good option too. [/quote]
