Not pushing off of anything with all of your weight at any type of speed. -- Posted by 2ndbreakfast79 at 11:29 pm on July 10, 2008 only if you ran on a flat surface. running up and down hills would burn more calories than running in place. -- Posted by carnage44 at 11:30 pm on July 10, 2008 No. Sincerely, Fat people -- Posted by Taylor636Baker at 11:31 pm on July 10, 2008 Yea but I like scenery Same thing with a treadmill I'd rather go outside and see thing and get distance so I feel like I'm  being productive -- Posted by Young Deezy at 11:31 pm on July 10, 2008 nope -- Posted by afmc011 at 11:31 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from jennay at 2:29 am on July 11, 2008 no, because youre not using the energy to push forward Exactly. -- Posted by Desquish69 at 11:31 pm on July 10, 2008 you need that push... its like the difference between running on flat ground and running uphill -- Posted by penguinsrule at 11:31 pm on July 10, 2008 you would think, but there is actually a huge difference -- Posted by kooljack1 at 11:32 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from carnage44 at 11:30 pm on July 10, 2008 No.   Sincerely, Fat people had to laugh lmao -- Posted by Iaintmarchingnemore at 11:36 pm on July 10, 2008 Well quoted from the prestigious Dr. Schweblender "Running in place burns more calories and is a better workout, Bitches"
