Get on a treadmill that counts calories, you think they just put up different numbers randomly? Just unreal.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that running a mile burns more calories than walking a mile. You people need to get out of your "high school physics" mindset. Work is not "the distance you move an object".

Work = Force x Displacement

What's your defintion of work, then?

You're not just displacing your body. You're extracting energy from storage, you're moving your body up and down against gravity, evaporating water, etc.
