If weight loss is what you're looking for then here's what you need. The best combination for weight loss is calorie restriction, resistance training, and aerobic work. Let's start with calorie restriction. Over the years I have had personal training clients as well as athletes come to me wondering why they are not losing weight. They tell me they eat right, exercise right, say their prayers, eat their vitamins, etc., and they just can't seem to lose weight. Well, most of the time, once I really get to know them, I find that nutrition is the culprit. You need to know what you're eating. Most of the people I'm talking about all thought they did. \n\nHow do you change this? Well, it may sound tough, but it's not that bad. You need to keep track of what you eat for 2 days over the week, and 1 day over the weekend. Next, go to you're local book store. You can find charts, books, and computer programs that will help you analyze the foods you ate. Another suggestion would be to take your dietary recall to a nutritionist or exercise physiologist at your local college and let them find it for you. \n\nThese recalls will tell you how many calories you're getting plus where they are coming from. For example, are they coming from protein, carbohydrate, or fat. It will help you see where you stand nutritionally. \n\nNext, you need to get on a good strength program. When a person is losing weight, the weight comes from fat, as well as muscle. That's kind of an unfortunate thing because muscle is an important thing when keeping metabolism high. There is enough research out there to safely say that when going through a phase of high intensity aerobic work and calorie restriction, strength training decreases muscle wasting. So, in short, strength-train. It's important. I wouldn't strength-train for anymore that 20 to 30 minutes. You can get what you need in a short period of time. \n\nAfter the strength training, it's time to get on the bike, treadmill, stepper, track, whatever. Keep your workouts to 30 minutes and up in order to burn the calories. Train between 3 to 5 times per week. Keep your heart rate at 60 to 90% of heart rate max. \n\nDon't look at losing weight as some mysterious monster that you can't get the reins on. Look at it as nothing more than stored energy. That's what fat is?stored energy. If you had a tank full of energy and it kept filling up higher and higher, what would you do to keep your tank from growing too large from the excess energy? Well, burn some of the energy off. That's what you need to do to lose weight. Keep the "energy in" lower than the "energy out" and abracadabra, you're losing weight. \n\nNote: You need to change your routine every 2-3 weeks in order to get the best results. \n\nMonday \n\n\nLeg Press 2x12 \nChest Press 2x12 \nLat pull down 2x12 \nShoulder Press 2x12 \nDB Curl 2x12 \nTricep kickback 2x12 \nAerobic Work  30 or more minutes. \n\n Click Here For A Printable Log Of Monday! \n\nTuesday \n\n\nAerobic work 30 or more minutes of aerobic exercise.\nWednesday \n\n\nSame as Monday.\nThursday \n\n\nSame as Monday, or take a day of rest.\nFriday \n\n\nSame as Monday.

Yes, running that much will probably net you about 1500 calories to 1800 calories difference per week.  Theoretically, you'd burn about 1 pound of fat every 2 weeks or so.\n\nYour cardiovascular system will also improve tremendously too as well as your metabolism.  I know when I add up do more miles my metabolism really gets going!  Also, next time you are out for a walk with your friends check out their labored breathing.  Chances are you'll be humming along thanks to your improved cardiovascular system.\n\nAlso, you should be developing some quality leg muscles. You'll have calves, hamstrings, and quads worthy of admiration.\n\nThe longer you run, the more fit you'll become.  Imagine being able to do 5 miles in one shot (if not more).  A good magazine for tips for runners is Runner's World (http://www.runnersworld.com).  If you get into competitive racing try out Running Times (http://www.runningtimes.com)\n\nCongrats and keep up the good work. The results will be more apparent the longer you do this.

NOT AT ALL. Keep it up. Think of it this way. If you were to stay in bed all day you burn very few calories.\nIf you were to start walking outside of your house everyday you burn double the amount that you would had if you stayed in bed all day.\nIf you were to jog for only 10mins you would burn three times as much then if you were to just walk out of your house.\nPint being, If you were to stop then you would start to gain weight.\nBest way to add to your 10min jog is to do some light weight lifting at home. Go to Wal-Mart, pick -up some 1-1/2lb, 3lb, 5lb etc weights and a swedish ball 9core secrets kind of thing) and do some weight training to make your efforts of the running you are doing, more effective.\nTrust me, you will see your body totally turn around. You have been running a lot so the weight s will make a nice toning to your body that you will see in week or two.\n\nDon't stop, your doing a great job! Keep active.

The best way to loose weight without compromising muscle mass is to exercise in the morning. In my opinion, if you run empty stomach in the morning, you will lose far more fat than muscle. Even better, if you can take a protein shake right when you get up (protein synthesis is in a tailspin after a long sleep) and go running 15-20 mins later. Studies have shown you are likely to loose 33% more fat if you run in the morning rather than during the day. Once you are done running, have a good breakfast and in general keep up the active lifestyle. In a month or so, begin working out in the evening. NEVER workout in the morning on empty stomach. You'll be dizzy, won't be able to lift anything, and will lose motivation. As per diet, eat lots of protein and drink plenty of water. Good luck!!

Running in the park & treadmill work best for me, along with a sensible diet. More vegetables than meat, along with lots of salids. we need the protein also, but watch fatty cuts. Swimming is also good if you can do several laps. I like to work my legs good. can burn caloties & help with the running. Any good work out that brings on the sweat will burn calories and that is really the name of the game. For me, counting all calories has been the best weight loss diet of all. Got to see yourself thin. Diet or workouts by themselves alone never work. It takes both in equal effort.

Running is good for you all around. You have to breath correctly while you run. If your not used to running I would start off jogging, or even a brisk walk. Breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.  Your lungs will do better over time. When I started running my chest would hurt more than my body.  It just took some time. I got better.

Run whenever you want, but the question was when to run to lose the most weight... before your first meal.  You haven't taken in any carbohydrates so your body is forced to burn the fat for energy.  After your run/exercise eat and your boosted metabolism will continue to burn calories if you managed to get a true aerobic workout.

Running is definitely not harmful to the hips or gluts.  You definitely are going to use your gluts a lot with runnning, but it won't cause them any harm.  Running can be a little harmful to your knees, especially if you are overweight and lacking good quad & hamstring strength.

I would first reccomend that you talk to your Doctor about getting medication to help your thyroid problem.\n\nAfter that, I think running is the best way to lost weight.  It keeps your metabolism up, your heart rate up, and the more you sweat, the more you lose!\n\nStart off small, run maybe 1/2 mile, and add another 1/2 mile every week or every 2 weeks.

Calculating the caloric loss of either exercise would be extremely difficult, since there will be a variation of intensity and also the fact that different muscles will be working.\n\nHowever, it is healthier to run using a treadmill or on a track than running in place. Running in place is basically a complicated way of jumping up and down, which is:-\n\nA)Bad for your back.\nB)Does not exercise all the muscles of your leg.\nC)Can lead to a herniated disc.\n\nThus, it is better to run using a treadmill or a track.

No, running on the spot isn't the same as going for a run because you don't excercise as best as what you would when you go for a run.  There isn't as much pressure or hard work when running on the spot.  Running on the spot however does still give a great excercise!
