Thread: What is better Walking or Running

  1. #21
    Brisk walking on road is not a problem at all. If precautions are taken then even running is not a prob at all. I guess in Gym you can try other options also, such as cycling, steppers, ellipticals, rowing, stairmaster...

    nitin nd other members... many hv talked abt precautions nd risks of running... wud appreciate if someone can elaborate more on these precautions nd risks associated thru their practical experiences nd not frm googling.

    how is this:

    Walking --> running --> Cycling --> Swimming :D:D

    ofcourse a break before swimming.
    Walking + running + Cycling + Swimming= Gudaliya Chaaling Just for 500 meters.

    Brahm, if you sprint on concrete, then the bones in your legs face a lot of pressure, special problem areas are shins and knees. The reason I guess is that the hard ground doesn't soften the impact. Personally, I face problems in shins rather than in knees. But I think knee problem is more serious as I know 2 people who had to undergo surgery. The problem is mitigated to an extent if you sprint on soft ground like grass, mud track or even treadmill. Also, I am talking about sprinting here- greater than 10 km/hour. The original question was on 8 km/hour, and unless you have a history of leg problem or you are old, I don't think that is a problem. And of course it depends on person to person, someone may find it perfectly fine to run on the road.

    It also has a lot to do with rhythm and smoothness of movement. If you do a proper warm up (Stretching all the muscles in legs) and your running is also built up gradually, it helps a lot. I find my shins paining much more after I have played cricket (usually no warm up, followed by lots of jerky movements, sudden running and stopping) rather than after a jog on the treadmill.

    Yes, you will get shin pain if you run on concrete.
    You have to be utmost careful while doing gym. A small jerk and it might cause a tear of your muscle. While running you need to run at the pace which you feel the most comfortable. Don't try to imitate others. Some can run for long distances based on their stamina and at much higher speed.
    The most apt thing to be fit is to play an outdoor game. Play for an hour in evening and see how quickly your physical strength improves overall. Mornings you can do Yoga to make your body flexible.
    My suggestion is that you should opt for outdoor games than doing Gym.
    Gym me AC me exercise karne se better h kisi park me jogging karo ya fir ground me koi game khelo jisme sare shreer ki exercise ek sath ho jaye.

    Well, if you work out on these machines, it will help you toning your thigh and calf muscles. Ofcourse, gottago to gym for that though and in case you decide to go to a gym , make sure you get someone trained to show you how to make best use of 'em and do it correctly.

    To give some idea, here are the pictures of these machines..first one is leg press..

    Precautions:-

    1. No daily running in the beginning - infact daily running should be avoided even in advanced stages. It is not even beneficial.
    2. Gradual increment in the intensity (that is distance, frequency and speed)
    3. Proper running shoes, not just white cheap quality shoes (I know few models by asics not sure about their availability in India)
    4. Avoid Running on uneven roads or roads with pits and holes
    5. Brisk walking is fine but if you choose to run/jog then try to incorporate the workout for thighs (inner) for at least 1 or 2 days in a week.
    6. Most importantly dont forget to warm up little bit for the leg muscles before the run.
    7. If stretching/cool-down can be done after the workout then it will perfect ending.


    These are just few things which I can think of. When I developed the ITB prob then I could not sustain running for more than 5-8 mins and skipping beyond 500 (basically had problems with high intensity workout requiring leg muscles and didn't have any problem with carrying loads of weight and walking for hours, cycling or climbing stairs). Later I consulted the physiotherapist and did regular exercise for the muscles and now I can run again for 30 mins (5 miles) or more and skip at the levels I used to.

    Respect the body, don't abuse it..

    Happy workout. It's fun...

    tks kapil, nitin n all... i guess m fine with 30-45 mins of praanayam (jai baba ramdev) in the morn nd 2-3 games of squash in the eve. thts good enuff for me to keep myself sufficiently fit. swimming in summers can be a good excercise nd can well be taken for leisure... add some lager on wkends, promise it'll be a great fun.

    actually i wanted to add jogging in my schedule... let me keep it off, as of now.
