I have to clear up this little tif here. Walking, jogging or running the SAME DISTANCE burns the same amount of calories. Both are capable of burning fat however walking better as it is easier to keep your heart elevated for longer than 30 minutes through brisk walking. Running for more than 30 minutes is too hard on the body and stenuous on the joints. Walking does not burn the most "belly fat". When we lose weight we lose off all areas of the body, however most people tend to store more weight in the stomach which is why it always appears to be the area you lose from first.
