I was running today and was wondering - do you think that burning let's say 200 calories by running is going to yield the same results as burning 200 calories by lifting?

Is each caloric burn created equal?

From what I understand, the actual calories you burn count for the same, but if you lift weights, your muscles will be burning extra calories for the next five or six hours. Also, if you gain muscle mass, your muscles burn more calories 24/7 than fat cells.
Now, you can do high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with typically aerobic exercise, like biking or running, and I hear that it keeps your body burning calories after you stop exercisining also. If you don't know, HIIT is where you try to exercise at high intensity at short intervals, with time periods of much lower intensity exercises. Like sprint for 1 minute, walk for 2 minutes, repeat for 15 minutes or so.
