Anyone have some? Joggers are the ones more concerned with how they look than what they are doing. Thus the additional stress of this burns an additional 140 calories. Excuse me while I take a look in the mirror and blow off 140 calories... :) Personally I think that the authors are a little confused. The difference between jogging and running is a state of mind. However, there is a difference between running/jogging and walking/race-walking. This has to do with the stride. Any biomechanical people know what the differences are?
