Walking vs. Yoga: Which One is More Effective for Weight Loss?

Calorie Burn Battle: Walking burns more calories per session, but yoga builds lean muscle, which helps burn fat even at rest.

Time Efficiency: A brisk 30-minute walk can burn around 150-200 calories, while a power yoga session can do the same in less time.

Full-Body Effect: Yoga works on the entire body’s strength & balance, while walking mainly targets the legs and core.
