Walking 1 km vs Running 1 km: Which burns more calories?

Calories Burned: Running burns more calories than walking in the same distance due to higher intensity.

Heart Health: Running gives your heart a more intense workout, boosting cardiovascular health faster.

Joint Impact: Walking is gentler on the joints, making it better for people with knee or ankle issues.

Fat Loss: Running helps burn fat quicker, but walking consistently also contributes to fat loss over time.

Muscle Building: Running engages more muscle groups like calves, thighs, and core, helping tone them faster.

Stress Relief: Both reduce stress, but running can offer a stronger endorphin rush or “runner’s high.”
