Like pscarb has said you may burn more calories (maybe reliying to much on joggin/stepper machines cals per hour read out) but its where the calories are coming from that you have to look at, after all its stored fat that you are trying to burn not important carbs/protein that are required to build and repair. low to moderate intensity aerobic exercise tends to burn fat, where as high intensity aerobic exercise tends to burn glucose.

Those who are new to regular exercise, or who are returning to exercise after a break, can work towards doing low to moderate intensity aerobic exercise for at least 20 to 30 minutes on 4 to 5 days each week. This is a practical and safe way (low risk of injury) to burn body fat.

Exercising for longer at a lower intensity is better than only managing a short time at a higher intensity. This approach to exercise also has significant additional health benefits such as reducing the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
