If you're new to working out, I would probably start out by walking. As far as losing weight goes and to answer your question, running is better than walking as its more of an intense activity. The more intense the exercise, the more calories and fat you'll burn.

If you are new to the workouts, definitely start by walking. Unless you feel you can really do a pretty good run. Running takes some time. And it takes some ambition. I fight with running daily!

If you want to lose weight you should walk a lot.It's the best.Don't start losing weight by joining gym.First start walking, get fit and then you can join the gym.

I try to run 3-4 miles a day, then if I get time in the evening, love to do a nice 30 minute walk.. It seems to help me!
