, a professor of exercise sciences at Brigham Young University. When exercising, you burn some of your stored fuels; replenishing those stores takes energy. Your body uses that energy to repair any microdamage from exercise as well.
The same goes for intensity, too: Hiking or climbing stairs can actually bring your walking METs burn up to running levels. “Greater muscle forces are required to move faster to accelerate the body up and down, move the limbs faster, and work against gravity,” says Hunter. “Running or walking uphill requires greater energy, just like lifting weights upward. It’s as if our body is the weight that we must move to greater heights, so the greater the slope, the greater the energy requirement.
It’s important to remember that while weight loss can “technically” be boiled down to “calories in must be less than calories out,” it’s not quite that simple. We are hardwired to survive famines, not to lose weight. We have hormones that make us feel hungry and hormones that make us feel full. When we eat less to try to lose weight, they flip to push us back to where we were, says says, clinical assistant professor, McGovern Medical School at UTHealth in Houston.
I've heard you burn approximately 100 calories per mile on foot, whether running 🏃 or walking 🚶. With so slight a difference, I prefer the exercise that takes up less time: running.
👍👍👍👍👍
