RE: Evidence that running and walking have the same calorie burn

I've heard this too but honestly didn't really believe it - just because running requires so much more effort on your entire body... but I guess the numbers are there. This is honestly great news... I've been adding in a fast-paced walk some nights (to make sure I'll sleep well) so it's great to know it's probably burning some calories too.

well like I said this is based off the data from a $120 Chinese-made sport watch and not any sort of medical trial or scientific data that is peer-reviewed. I believe there is some truth to it because the watch is merely doing math based on my heart rate but for other people whose heart rate is much lower than mine is while walking, it might not end up being the case. I think keeping your heart rate in a particular place might be more important that just blindly walking slow.
