A 38-year-old member asked:

Is running or walking a better activity in order to burn fat?

Depends on intensity: In general running will do a better job but speedwalkers can walk faster than some joggers and get a better cardiac workout which is the real secret.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.
