Friends,

Could you give me some information and advises:
What is de difference between jooing and running.
I go to swimm four days a week, one and a half hour. Monday the swimming pool is closed, saturday and sunday is open but I only can pay for four days, then I have decide go to walking saturday, sunday and monday in the same schedule I go to swimm.
What do you recomend to a new member in this sport?
Tomorrow will be my first day of walking. I think is better begin only walking.

Well, to me there is a slight difference between jogging and running. For jogging, you kinda run with a steady slow trot. Pushing your legs up and down like you're jumping up and down in one place and run like that. That's how I jog. It's ca be faster than walking, but quite slower than running. For running, you don't push your legs up and down like jumping in one place, but it's more like running freely.
Either one is still good for your health. When you are tired of running, you can jog. Then you can run again and then jog. Combine them to make it more fun. Or you can walk when you are really tired.

Yes walk first. Don't run yet. And don't forget to stretch your legs before you go walking. It's because your legs might not get used to it; therefore, the muscles would hurt you a bit. Give it several times before you'll start jogging or running unless you want pain in your legs.

Thanks Lennye for your help,

As my health is very fragil I went to walk sunday, and monday I alternate jog and walk, 100 meters x 100 meters, and the total distance was 5 km.I felt very tired, but this morning I went swimming, as every week and I felt better. I noticed too that the excersice of sunday and monday helped me to devolpe more velocity in my swimming rutinne. My trainner of swimming gave some advices too.

I must admit I prefer walking I have never really been a jogger. I find it too intense. I enjoy walking at a brisk pace.

Both are good for the health and fitness but the Jogging is more beneficent in weight loss and burning the calories than the walk. 30 minute of jogging can burn more than 200 calories.
