Do You Prefer To Walk, Jog Or Run For Exercise?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Walk

Jog

Run

Something else

[zeitgeist057]

If it has to be ambulatory, I prefer a hike up a mountain with a heavy rucksack on my back, and a chainsaw on my shoulder.

more intense workout in less time

If it's open ended exercise, there are many things I prefer to walk, run, jog options:
Wrestling (jujitsu or just regular tumbling around), rowing (in a proper rowing scull with sliding seat, surfing, swimming, snowboarding, playing soccer, a gym workout with weightlifting, a boxing workout on a heavy bag, circuit training (HIIT), rock climbing, martial arts sparring, or dancing.

Full body workout plus time communing with nature

Running plus fun

[TurboKid]

I was a sprinter growing up and wired that way. I like sprinting and absolutely hate jogging (the mile-long warm-ups were my least favorite part of track) and don't like walking for such a long time unless it's to go somewhere.

I don't do sprint intervals like fitness people though with very short rests. I do them as I did competitively when I was on the track team so long rests between sprints so that I can come at them fresh and keep measuring and improving in times/speed for my 100m and 200m and 300m.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sounds good👍

[TurboKid]

In my teens, I had a PR of 10.3 secs for 100m dash and 25-foot long jump although these days, in my 40s, I can't seem to get below 11.5 secs anymore. Still trying to at least keep that though.

[TurboKid]

My conditioning is terrible though. I probably should jog more. Yet I seem to be incredibly lacking in those slow-twitch kinds of muscle fibers. I'm very explosive but I tire out faster than everybody.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Hey, that's still really good for 40's👍👍

[TurboKid]

It's something I take lots of pride in but it kind of depresses me watching my times slowly get worse and worse over the passing years. I think if I ever get something resembling a mid-life crisis, it would have more to do with that than anything else, and I might turn into a training addict trying to recover my youthful PRs rather than the usual way of getting sports cars or motorcycles or something like this.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Think of what you can still do not what you can't... I think that's still pretty impressive!

[TurboKid]

Cheers!

[Cynicaldreamer]

How did I miss this question? This kind of question is my jam!

I'm kind of a gymrat and do everything from walking to running fairly regularly. As for what's my favorite? It depends on my mood:

For weight loss and an energy boost? I prefer jogging and running. I usually run 3-4 days a week. Walking I do almost daily, anywhere from 15-30 minutes on my breaks at work. Walking helps me destress and relax.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

There she is! I thought you'd reply to this one even though I pretty much knew what your answer would be🙂💛
Give you props for your commitment to your exercise regiment 👍

[Cynicaldreamer]

Well I'm trying to get you to exercise with me, but apparently you're afraid I'll kill you or some silly nonsense like that, lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣 I'll exercise with you if you go easy on old frail lady😄😂

[PaynefulPleasures]

Walk by the lake/river especially an evening stroll by moonlight ✌️

https://youtu.be/bsRNCvHXHHU

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That sounds nice and peaceful

[PaynefulPleasures]

It is hope you're feeling ok tc ✌️

[PaynefulPleasures]

better typo lol

[Massageman]

Heck, I'd prefer to FLY, but I guess I'll have to settle for walking.
Ankle won't let me pound very hard.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Even if we could fly, If probably still have to walk because of my shoulder

[DocJones]

What happened to your shoulder?

[Massageman]

We TOLD to quit walking on your hands - - - - -

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Massageman ohh maybe they is the problem🤣
@DocJones Rotator cuff issues, or something else, I swear been told different things. It's been better since not using as much as when was running the shipping department where I worked. But still have issues with pain doing some things

[DocJones]

I had what I think was rotator cuff problems in my right shoulder that seem to have gone away. I hope yours heals and gets better too

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@DocJones Thanks, hopefully

[burlen]

I do and prefer all as part of my daily fitness regime. Each has its role and benefit in my cardio workout. Running measures my speed, endurance, and intensity. On days I’m doing light training or stretching my endurance I do jogging, long jogging, brisk walking, or long brisk walking.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sounds good.

[andreasderjuengere]

I prefer to distribute 'challenges' over my day. Usually, there's always some opportunity such as using the stairs instead of the lift.
I added some walking recently... but to be honest: THIS year I'm overall just a lazy fart :D
Next year I'll (perhaps :) ) do better.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah I was too, working on it... Work in progress

[AndrewMG]

I brought a new cycling machine during lockdown as I'm working from home and didn't seem to be getting much exercise other than walking from my bedroom to my kitchen... I injured my hip within the first week after attempting a long distance cycle whilst watching TV and eating crisps... I've not answered your question but hey, sometimes life is not all about answers lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Do you still use the rower?

[AndrewMG]

Which Rower Mate? It's definitely a cycling machine, if it was a rowing machine it would explain my injured hip! lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh oops

[AndrewMG]

No need to apologise but it does explain why I've constantly fell off my cycling machine... you need to buck your advise ideas up! lol

[es20490446e]

I exercise every single day of the week.

Cardio wise I run barefoot, run on the mountain for hours, and do high intensity interval training.

Walking on the mountain is also fun as a family event from time to time.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sounds like you get quite the workout

[es20490446e]

True :D

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's good

[TonyMetal___86]

I prefer to walk and each 200 ft i'll eat a muffin so i recharge and at the end i'll bite the spongy forehead as a reward 😬

Is it possible miss brains that if you walk a lot, your feet will shrink? Cause you said that they were big 🤣🤣

You have to walk a lot miss brains muffins 😁

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

You picking on my big feet 😓😥 LOL

[TonyMetal___86]

I told you that your just a muffin in the form of a human, your looks are more like a cartoon character 🤣🤣

Don't walk in the woods miss brains cause you'll make people think that they have found the sasquatch 🤣🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Har har you're so funny... The bigger the feet, the harder the kick 😝

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Kick some butt 🤣🤣

[TonyMetal___86]

You can't kick spongy forehead because your back will hurt you, you ain't athletic anymore, your just a wooden sponge 😁

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh I still do okay when I need to

[TonyMetal___86]

You don't have enough energy, i must bite your spongy forehead so you recharge 😁

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Don't think that will cut it this time

[TonyMetal___86]

Your the female version of cutman from the game megaman, if your cutgirl than i'm megaman 😈

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WpdM1bhovRs

I woonnnnnn 😂😂

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Game over

[TonyMetal___86]

Yep game over, no cuts for you miss brains muffins, the king will always win and at this point i'll bite the spongy forehead as much as i want 😋

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Told you, kitchens closed

[TonyMetal___86]

How can you close the kitchen before i eat? 😤
When are you going to open tomorrow? 😒
I'll bite that naughty spongy forehead, she closed the kitchen and ran away

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sorry permanently closed... Didn't pass health inspection

[TonyMetal___86]

NOOOOOO! Miss brains kitchen is A+ i'm going to open the kitchen now, what have you done naughty spongy forehead? 😤

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Life closed it🤷🏼‍♀️

[TonyMetal___86]

We will see about that naughty sponge 😏

[ToastyOats]

I voted something else. I am a big fan of biking, much prefer, Also, I like to build dams in the creek that runs through my neighborhood. Some of the pools are getting deep enough to swim in and I can drink and relax in between lifting heavy rocks. It's still hard work and I'll break a sweat but I can always just jump in and cool off.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Biking and swimming both great exercise

[jasmine_0603]

Out of those 3 I definitely choose walking. Running is very uncomfortable to me because of my big breasts and even a good bra doesn't help here... I love long walks in nature though, especially with my dog - she's my best motivation! 🐶💕

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh I hear you. I have the same issue (boob wise) I walk at the track in the neighborhood with a neighbor... And used to walk a lot for my job so that worked for me...

[Jmmmfi4]

Ok this has been an issue for me... I workout 7 days a week if I can. Sometimes I have to be into work early before my gym opens. So this year I said on those days I'm gonna start running on those mornings.

I'm having a real hard time getting motivated to go running. I don't know. Its just so boring.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah I've been struggling with motivation, but more from health issues and lots energy but started slow, been walking twice a week with neighbor.. Okay we did go out for breakfast after walk this morning so did some damage there lolol 😂

[wankiam]

cycle... walking is a slow burn and both jogging and running are impactive forms of exercise meaning you risk damaging ankles, hips and knee joints plus cycling gives a more inclusive workout for all muscle groups and cardio too

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's true...

[Red_Arrow]

I use a stationary bike. No impact damage like running can do, and you can read, watch tv, or even perform work while using the bike. Much happier with that.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That works👍

[Paolaa988]

I like all of the above lol but i walk pretty often like 30 min a day 4-5 days a week and run when the weather isn't too bad.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍👍

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Well, I like to walk for exercise and on really hot days, do inside exercises
all I need to do is move my arms about and move my legs that will burn
calories

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍😊

[JuliaStyles]

Dogs aren't worth exercising with because they are always stopping to sniff something or try to take you off your path to chase a squirrel.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣

[WesBrewer]

I like running, but it’s kinda lame unless you are with friends, I also like the gym but that is hard to do without motivation or a trainer.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

,👍 I usually walk with a neighbor at the track by our house

[The_Maphio]

Running mid-fast. Getting exhausted, breathing in, recuperating and going at it again.
Sometimes I even dash instead of simply running.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍

[suisuiola]

Run! Running if I have been more active, if I've been inactive for a while I'll usually walk and then run soon after.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sounds good👍

[NathanDavis]

All of that, and more... I do soccer to stay fit, and because I enjoy sports as well.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's cool👍

[Avicenna]

Well, for the distances I run, it's mostly jogging, albeit at varying speeds that could sometimes better be described as running.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sounds good👍

[FreyaRed]

Walk
With BMI 17,5 I should eat cream cakes instead of walking but I need fresh air otherwise I can't sleep at night.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍

[Adam1978]

I prefer to live a life where I don't need to exercise and all training comes naturally with the activities.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍

[Jjpayne]

I prefer to walk to enjoy my surroundings and be at peace rather than get winded and focused on my breathing

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sounds good

[Chris_u006]

It depends on my mood.
Hard to pick just one I prefer the most. Sometimes I want a combination of all of them, sometimes I just want to walk, sometimes I just want to jog. In the winter though, it's something else and you have to guess what.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah I think I know what you mean lolol

[douride2]

I voted walk. But due to leg injuries I really prefer to bike.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I hear yah, walk is bout all I can do

[douride2]

Besides that the twins don't like it when I run. LMAO

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Well yeah, that's my main reason as well

[douride2]

Oh the joy eh?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah lol

[CurlyGirl42]

I walk, I would also like to be running, but it is hard on my knees so I choose not to.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah between my boobs and my back, I walk

[Aethereal]

Of these options, I prefer to walk. What I would really prefer though, is to swim.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh yeah, swimming is good exercise and easier on the joints

[pleasestopthis]

I prefer walking! I usually walk at a fast pace so I guess I exercise a bit when I walk... I usually can't jog or run, I get tired too quickly

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Walking is good exercise..

[FatherJack]

Kick , punch , knee , elbow are my preferred , effective cardio and more fun... running is good , except for the knees !

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Is that for exercise or you beating sometime up? LOL But I hear yah, I walk I don't jog or run

[JosyJosy]

Jog for the whole lap, but sprint for the remaining 100 m, repeat

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sounds good

[GabrielaDragonFly]

Walk, Jog, Run, Hike, Bike, Swim...
Of the three I prefer jogging but do a bit of each

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

All are good exercise👍

[RSStevedmj]

I walk a mile around the subdivision with my dog every evening, and with almost an acre of land doing yardwork and all, I clock in at four plus miles a day. I think I get my workout done, what say you?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sounds like👍👍

[exitseven]

I used to love to run. I cannot run anymore so I ride a bike or use an elliptical trainer.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I walk on the track with neighbors lady... Big boobs and bad back make jogging or running difficult lolol

[exitseven]

Do they hit you in the face when you run?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

😂😂😂 don't know don't run lolol

[Tunasub]

Walking... my knees are not what they used to be. I played baskedball in highschool and my knees are a little beat for running.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I hear yah... Between big boobs, bad back and atheistic knee, I walk lolol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

*arthritic

[Tunasub]

Ummm how big are your boobs? Didn't know..

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

They were DD then got down to a C now probably bigger than DD

[IveGotNoName]

Walk, if I run I'll injure my knees, I have loose ligaments

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Walking is definitely easier on the joints

[Andres77]

Run was my preferred and best until I hurt my back. Now I'm just glad I can walk.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I know the feeling, well wasn't a runner even before back surgery lol but definitely not after

[AlexanderAnttila]

I don't love to run in terms of the sweating and panting, the exhaustive strain during running and when close to finishing. But I do like to run for what it gives me in terms of staying in shape, stimulating my core, and the good sense of achievement when I progress in my stamina.

[Boomtown]

I prefer to jog, to burn enough calories.
Walking is too easy, and with running id be exhaused to soon.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sounds good... I have to walk, big boobs and bad back make it hard to jog or run lol

[Boomtown]

That's quite good to keep going.
Or you can try swimming, it's more insense but you have no issues with your back and boobs there.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

😂😂I know I was on the swim team in high school but doubt I'm the summer now was then cuz old age and smoking...

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

*swimmer not summer lol

[Anonymous]

I like to run I've been running cross country since I was 12 and I wouldn't want to change it:)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's good!

[collie22]

i like running through the park in the morning, going fast is fun

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sounds good

[Wiredone]

I like to walk more than run. I have a bad knee that tends to give out on me at the worse time.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I walk as well

[Wiredone]

I'm in no hurry to go 6' under ground. I'll take my time and walk there. Lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

If I don't start feeling better soon may get there quicker even walking

[Wiredone]

I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well. Maybe you should go to the doctor

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Been to ER and do need follow up with doctor but it's a new doctor so couldn't get in till June 9th...

[Wiredone]

Geez That's a long wait.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Right! If get worse before then, will just have to go back to ER

[Wiredone]

Can I ask what is wrong

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Getting winded, chest pains... The ER found lung nodules but didn't tell me, and didn't see on papers till week later.. And lung nodules on themselves can be common, it's more what else didn't they tell me, the way they reacted to my EKG and comparing it to the last one I had like the was some change they're saying but didn't tell me... All they said day of visit was my tonsils looked swollen... Don't know what made me relook at those papers

[Wiredone]

They didn't tell you what was wrong with you in the er? Did they give you any medication to go home with. That just doesn't sound right.

[Wise4myage]

I like walking more, because I tend to miss things when I jog.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Nice answer!!

[Wise4myage]

Thank you.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Welcome

[DocJones]

I get bored when running and prefer to get my exercise playing sports or swimming. Basketball and surfing are my two favorites.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

You like to surf? Never tried that. Only ever water-skied

[DocJones]

Yeah I don't get to do it as often as I used to, but still go at least twice a month. How did you do with water skiing? That is fun too. You should try surfing if you get the chance, it is quite a rush to stand up and have the wave give you a ride. It's unlike anything else.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

At my age, I'd probably drown lolol I did okay with water skiing, but that was back when I was 14 and spent the summer in South Carolina with Grandparents. I haven't water skied since

[DocJones]

Too funny. Water skiing is actually not as easy as some make it look. As far as surfing and drowning... no guy would let that happen I can assure you

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Aww thanks, I was pretty good on them skis lol

[OlderAndWiser]

It's not that far to the kitchen, so I just walk.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Hahaha🤣🤣👍

[blondfrog]

I like to mix them all up. Its about the pace of the exercise.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's true

[Maninderdeepsharma]

I like to do sprints for sometime after that I walk.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍

[just_a_potato]

Brisk walking is my go to exercise because I hate sweating and my pockets usually aren't big enough to keep my phone from flying out of my pocket.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I like running in grass. If the ground is hard then I sometimes lose balance

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍

[David_Bayer]

I walk during the day and run at the night so that noone can see me. :D

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's a plan lol

[7771999]

I prefer to jog. But running for short stretches feels great

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍👍

[Girlu40]

Run. Its less time consuming and, it burns fat for longer.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍

[have_a_good_day]

Running away from my problems

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That never works

[Oppressed_Leecher]

I cartwheel everywhere

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣🤣

[1stranger]

Wwalk. Walking is the best in my opinion. Running can damage joints. 🚶‍♀️🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤾‍♀️🔫!

[1stranger]

Ahh so sorry.. The last emoji wasn't this.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣 it's okay lol I've sent wrong emojis before too 😂

[Lliam]

Walk. Break into a jog at times.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Easier to do when you don't have big boobs🤣

[Lliam]

Yeah, but think of the joy you bring to others. 🤣 🤣 🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sure when they pay my medical bills I will lololol

[DocJones]

I will pay lol.

[DocJones]

Very true

[Lliam]

@DocJones, will you also pay the medical bills for those guys who have cardiac events or neck trauma when they see bbb (big bouncy boobs) jogging past?

[DocJones]

No but only because I must reserve funds to keep them bouncing lol

[Lliam]

@DocJones. 🤣🤣🤣 Fair enough. 😎😁

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@DocJones @Lliam this thread tho
🤣🤣🤣

[DocJones]

Sorry but you started it young lady lol. Just minding my own business when suddenly a pretty woman with big bouncing boobs runs by and she is in pain. 🤪

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@DocJones 🤣🤣🤣

[ArrowheadSW]

Walking and also using a treadmill.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍I had a treadmill, but I sold it last year cuz thought I was moving

[EmbraceThePain]

Run


And walk with a weighted backpack

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍

[kkirk4442]

Bicycle and racquetball are preferable.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Both good forms of exercise

[loves2learn]

I only run if I’m being chased by a bear and I hate exercise. Sooo, I choose walk.

[DocJones]

Remember, you don't have to be faster than the bear, just faster than the slowest person. No need to thank me, it's what I do

[loves2learn]

@DocJones good psa. Lol

[DocJones]

Glad I could help 😁

[bannacookies]

I jog and walk in intervals.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sounds good👍

[KatherineJ]

I don’t enjoy jogging or running.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah I'm a walker

[KatherineJ]

Me too @Brainsbeforebeauty

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Great minds 👍

[KatherineJ]

@Brainsbeforebeauty jogging and running is kind of painful...

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I hear that...

[KatherineJ]

Yeah, I prefer my exercise to not constantly hurt.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I also use a medicine ball to work out sometimes

[KatherineJ]

Yoga for me

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sounds good👍
