Which Burns More Calories?

I was recently doing some research when I came across
this really interesting fact.

There are a lot of ways to burn calories.  Almost anything that
a person does will burn some calories.  It all depends upon
how long and how hard you do the activity. 

The interesting thing that I noticed was that if you walk at
a fairly easy pace (about 3.5 mph) for one hour, you actually
will burn as many calories (or more) than someone who
lifts weights doing a general light workout will in the same
amount of time. 

Now, I am an advocate of weight lifting (not necessarily
body building), because it helps to tone and strengthen
the muscles and also increases a person's ability to burn
calories more efficiently.  But, the next time someone
tells you that lifting weights is the only way to go, tell
them that walking is just as efficient at burning calories.
