Comparison of walking and running (jogging)
Walking
The average person is able to walk for two hours without stopping, such as when shopping in a shopping mall. If you are walking slowly with a speed of 3 kmh, so in 2 hours you will travel a distance of 6 km. For 70 kg body weight, then you spend as much as 366 calories, higher than jogging 15 minutes.

Walking does not make the joints suffer high impact.
Joint load is only about 1.5 times body weight.
Less risk of injury.
Walking produces a little sweat, can be done during the lunch break.
You can enjoy the scenery around.
Does not require special equipment, special place, a certain time.
Walking is cheaper than running.
You can chat while walking.
Good for everybody.
Jogging
Not everyone is capable for running more than 15 minutes without previous training. If you run at a speed of 6 km / h, then in 15 minutes you travel a distance of 1.5 km. For body weight 70 kg, you spend as much as 128 calories, far less than the calories to walk 120 minutes.
