The question was the best way to get into shape... Not the fastest...
You made the point that running would burn calories faster than walking, this is true, I countered that liposuction would remove fat faster than both. Lipo might not be an option for someone without the finances or someone who doesn't agree with elective surgeries, much like running might not be an option for someone who is grossly out of shape, or elderly.
Burning calories isn't measured by distance, its a combination of intensity and duration. Walking is less intense than running, therefor the duration of the excersize must be longer.
However if someone runs improperly or is out of shape, not only can they probably not run a mile, but would likely cause injury in the process.
So yes, running will get you into shape faster. But in my opinion walking is a better way to get into shape and stay in shape for the duration of your life. (show me the 80 year olds running that 8 minute mile?)Last edited by DIB42; 01-06-2013, 03:03 AM.

if one is not wanting to be that 'fat guy' anymore - then hardwork is a definite and i just don't see walking for 8 miles as 'hardwork'

There are just so many more efficient and accessible ways to exercise than walking. Lifting for an hour will get you in better shape than walking for 4 hours, biking will get you in better shape if the core of your exercising regimen is walking then there is a serious problem with it. If you want to supplement your workout with it (like walking to work rather than driving, but even then biking would be better) that is fine, but if you would rather walk than lift, bike, run, or any other option I guarantee getting in shape will be a very slow process.
