It's still good exercise. It's hard to believe, but with all things being equal, walking burns more calories, and it take more effort from your muscles than running.

In running, you'd want your body to move as efficiently as possible. With the elasticity of your muscles and tendons, running doesn't demand as much effort as walking does, nor does running faster necessarily mean that you'll burn more calories covering the same distance.

Walking on the other hand, doesn't make full use of our momentum. It takes more energy to go fast while keeping yourself from breaking into a run.

It's a good add-on if you need something extra to help burn fat. More importantly, knowing this should bring to question the point of why you're doing an exercise, or in other words what you want to get out of it.

It's just some things to think about. By the way what kind of loads are you using for your weight training at this point?
