I was having a good argument with a co-worker about the value of
walking for fitness.  He seems to think that anything short of
a 8 minute mile can't be called a workout.  

So what's the scoop?  How does walking compare to running
for fitness value?  Calorie burning?  Weight loss? Muscle tone? etc..
