Running vs walking: Walking and running can improve energy, decrease blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, decrease your risk of disease and make you feel better emotionally. Running is more vigorous exercise so you'll burn more fat. However, running is a high-impact sport and may be hard on your joints.
