does walking slowly and/or briskly burn the same amount of fat/calories if the distance walked is the same?

> yes, it does burn the same amount of calories although walking slowly takes more time than walking briskly to cover the same distance.

walking

[Oakboy]

walking and running are the same it burns calories what matters most is the distance you covered and the time you spend on your cardiovascular activity..I've read a book that the author says 35-40minutes is the fat burning zone.. don't take my word for this just walk and run more further

FIVE STEPS TO GETTING STARTED


START BY WALKING. Everyone needs to feel comfortable & successful right from the start. Begin by walking for 30 mins. Keep doing this until it feels easy.

WALK BRISKLY. When normal walking becomes easy, walk briskly for 30 mins. & monitor your heart rate every 5-8 mins. If it seems below the target zone, pick up the pace. Many people will never want or need to go beyond a brisk walk, provided they can maintain their target pulse rate.

INSERT A FEW "JOGS". When you are comfortable walking briskly & want to step up the pace, simply insert 3-4 "jogs" of 100 yards or so into your 30 min. walk. Warm up by walking slowly, build into a brisk walk & then do the short jogs when you feel ready.

INCREASE THE RUNNING AS DESIRED. Increase the running segments as you feel stronger, always avoiding discomfort. You may eventually fill in the 30 mins with slow running - or you may keep your walking breaks. You're using the running to push the heart rate above the threshold & the walking to keep from getting uncomfortable.

STEP IT UP. Increase the time to 40 mins 3 times a week. Work up to 60 mins. for 1 of these weekly sessions, which will increase the cardiovascular as well as the mental benefits.
