Can I loose as much weight walking as I could by jogging?!


Question: Can I loose as much weight walking as I could by jogging.?
I always go out intending to jog but I end up walking every time. I just don't feel good when I jog. I get out of breath quickly and cramp up right away. I had a jogging class last semester and I cut my mile time by like 3 minutes but then I got out of shape again during the summer. Anyway, I guess my question is...how much more do I need to walk to start losing weight then I would if I were jogging.? I know it's going to take me longer to see a real difference since I'm not overweight in the first place. I'm 5'4 and I think I weigh around 113 and I'm trying to get back down to my high school weight of 107. I never had to exercise before last year. I think it's the college food. Ugh. Anyway, if anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. also, if anyone has any ab exercises they think I could benefit from, I would love to hear that too. THANKS!!!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Why don't you start out by say, walking 30 steps, then jogging 30 steps, and alternating this.? I would say that your problem is currently that you don't feel fit enough to jog continuously, but if you do the alternating thing, after a week or so you could increase your jogging steps to 35 and reduce your walking steps to 25.

Your goal should be first to get fit, and then weight will just take care of itself, if your diet is sensible. Health Question & Answer
