Whichever gets your heart rate up and pumping..

Good question... I would say biking for 5 miles because you are using more muscles and force to get through the 5 miles. I ride my bike to and from work everyday, its only 2.5 miles. It is not as easy as it sounds!

Walk! Wear comfortable, well fitted shoes, comfortable loose fitting clothes. Take a bottle of water with you to drink. Find a pleasant/ interesting and safe place to walk...enjoy the scenery! Try not to walk along a busy street, not just because of the traffic hazards, exhaust fumes are not what you want to be breathing in! You can walk around a mall, museum, park or even your own back yard...the point is to walk, breath and give that heart muscle some exercise!

I used to be an avid cyclist, subscribed to various magazines, and I remember reading that cycling took about 1/3 as many calories as walking. But do whichever one you'll stick with and find fun, or do both for variety.
