Answer #1

Walking briskly for 45 to 60 minutes for Four to Five days a week beats running as running compacts on joints and is boring. At least with walking you get to see more of the countryside.

I lost 10 kgs from walking 5 days a week for an hour and now am 84 kgs which is almost normal for a bloke

Answer #2

it is because in cardiac patients every kind of stress to the heart is to be avoided..prolonged running can have a negative effect…Slow and steady wins the race

Answer #3

Walking, swimming, cycling…running or jogging is best on short grass

Answer #4

I think walking is better. Running speeds up your heart rate and as captainassassin said it is hard on your joints.

Answer #5

Running also causes more impact, and is harder on the joints…
