I recall reading you burn more calories walking 3 miles Vs running 3 miles.

I attributed that to the fact you’re off the couch & moving for a longer period of time by walking the miles. I’ve no idea if that’s true but I know I never got a “runners high” people like to speak about, even in my younger days when I did run some. Granted the most I ever ran was maybe 7 miles.

Walking, jogging, cycling, or elliptical, the article mentions those.
Blobster • 12/20/22 09:51 AM ET
I prefer elliptical indoors over treadmill or bike.
Vtskier1 • 12/20/22 01:12 PM ET
