so i signed up at the gym last week. while i was doing the paper work i was asking the "trainer" a series of questons. I asked him a question about weight loss and running. he told me that it is actually better to walk for an hour than to run for 40 min. he said that you actually burn more fat cals when you walk....is this true?

he also said that is is good to have a workout routine similar to this one:

monday- chest and back
tuesday-cardio and abbs
wednesday-legs and traps
thursday-cardio and abbs
friday- arms

he said that as long as you work out hard enough to tear the micro-fibers in your muscles your metabolism should be high enough to lose weight...now is this true?

thanks for the help.
