I came across this infographic today and thought I might share it with my peeps.

    Thanks, the only point on the graphic that I'd take exception with is the "burns more fat" - it's misleading inasmuch as yes you burn a higher proportion of calories from fat at low intensities but higher intensity exercise still burns fat and burns a much higher number of calories and you'll burn more calories per mile running than walking.

    Exactly. For me to get my HR in the fat burning zone, I'd have to walk about as fast as a easy run anyway.
