    Another thread about exercise

    If you walk for X miles does this burn more or less calories than running the same distance? You're active for a longer period but less energetic. It must come down to biological efficiency I think. Anyone?

    You're leaving time out of your equation.

    Calories per what? Mile, hour?

        Cake.

            You burn nearly double running a mile with a cake rather than walking a mile with a cake.

              I assume you burn more per mile running because of the extra effort exerted vertically.

                Having said that, you'd burn more per mile just sitting on your arse.

                  I think the calories used is in a direct relationship with the amount of air inhaled rather than the distance covered.

                  Or something like that.

                    Good point. But what about anaerobic exercise?
