5 miles a day on the treadmill?

Like most people said, it's going to depend on what your weight is, how fast you're going and your age. 5 pounds a week isn't giong to happen though...1 pound of body fat is worth 3500 calories...a 5 mile walk probably burns 600-700 calories...if you're running maybe more like 800...So without changing eating habits, you're looking at probably 1-2 pounds a week. If you lose more than that, it's going to be water weight.

Weights and or resistance training will only tighten and or build them. To loose them you need to take in approx 500 calories less than you normally do and do some kind of cardio. If you are a beginner try walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes at 3 to 5 on the speed with a 3 to 5 percent incline three to five times a week.

Being healthy doesn't always come down to how much you weigh. It depends on your cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels etc and if you were to have a proper health check up - how long do you think you will survive walking/running on the treadmill??. You may have a poor heart rate, the more you exercise the better the heart is. Whether you are 105lbs or 205lbs, you will be healthier just by doing some exercise and you will feel a lot more awake and energetic. Just 30 mins 3 times a week to start, you will fill the benefits after a week or 2.

Congratulations on getting started with an exercise program!  15 minutes a day was a good start, but I suggest you work up to 30 minutes every other day and walk at a pace that challenges you (increased breathing and elevated heart rate).  As your fitness level increases, try walking every day, increase your walking time to 45 minutes, add in hilly terrain, etc.  \n\nMake sure you have a good comfortable pair of walking shoes.\n\nGood luck!

When you mention "a day", I can assume you plan to run very often, and when you ask this kind of question here, but not face to face with an experienced person, I assume you are a newbie. Correct me if I am wrong, I just try to help.\n\nRun every km in around 7 min for 30 min a day will do good for a healthy newbie. If there is a special condition, talk to the doctor first.\n\nLuckily, none of my students say I am foolish so far.

I have lost 35 pounds and need to lose 35 more.  I also had an untreated thyroid disorder that is now taken care of and those 35 pounds came off relatively easily because of that.  The next 35 is going to be hard work.  I joined a gym, I do 6 miles on the treadmill for now and the wieght circuit every other day.  As I get more in shape I will do more classes and less treadmill because 6 miles on a treadmill is about 2 hours.

Exercise Walking\n\n If you're like the average person, you probably walk between 2,500-5,000 steps each day. While at first glance that may seem like a lot, you might want to think about adding more steps to your daily routine with an exercise walking program. Consider the benefits to your physical and mental health:\n\n\n\nA brisk walk increases your intake of oxygen, strengthens your heart to pump more blood, improves circulation and lowers blood pressure.\n\nWalking also slows development of degenerative joint disease, stops loss of bone mass in osteoporosis, and tones your muscles gently.\n\nWalking reduces stress, helps you keep a positive outlook and can make you feel (and look) younger and sleep more deeply and restfully.\n\nIf you are recovering from a recent injury or surgery or have a chronic condition, you may want to see your doctor before beginning a walking program. You may be able to withstand the low stress effort of walking without aggravating your condition. Walking has helped many people find relief from arthritis and back pain.\n\nYou can walk alone or with friends, almost anywhere and anytime it's convenient for you. The only equipment you need is a good pair of shoes. These should be comfortable and supportive and not cause blisters or calluses. Choose shoes that support the arch and elevate the heel slightly. There should be stiff material surrounding the heel (the heel counter), that keeps your heel from turning in or out or wobbling. The toe box should be roomy but not too long.\n\nStarting your program\n\nWhen you start your exercise program, warm up by walking as you normally would for five minutes, then pick up the pace to whatever speed gets your heart beating faster and your lungs breathing deeper. Keep up the faster pace for about 15 minutes. While you walk:\n\n\nSwing your arms.\n\nKeep your head up, back straight and abdomen flat.\n\nPoint your toes straight ahead.\n\nTake long strides, but don’t strain.\n\nCool down by walking at your warm up speed again for five more minutes. Do gentle stretching exercises when you're done. Repeat this routine three or four days a week with days for rest in between. After two weeks add five minutes to the strenuous part of your walk. Keep adding five minutes every two weeks as you gradually build strength and endurance.\n\nCommit to physical activity\n\nWhen you start an exercise walking program, you are making a commitment to yourself to be more physically active. This should be a lifetime pursuit, as the major health benefits of exercise walking take place over time. Keep track of your progress as you become more physically fit and increase the intensity of your workouts. You might consider getting a pedometer (available at most sporting goods stores) that clips on your belt and automatically records every step you take. In addition to your exercise walking routine, consider ways you can build more steps into each day, such as taking stairs instead of elevators or parking your car at the far end of lots.

I've been doing a variation of Max-OT. I workout 5 days a week, doing 1 or 2 muscle groups a day, and hit each muscle group once a week. I do this in the morning, and in the afternoon when I get home from work, I do an hour of walking on the treadmill (about 3 miles).

Do an internet search for "Couch Potato to 5K plan" I did this and it helped a lot.  Some people say it's bad because you start off by alternating a lot between running and walking, apparently that can make building endurance harder.  I on the other hand went from being able to run about 15 feet before I wanted to die, to almost 2 miles (and I'm improving everyday).  Good Luck.

I guess it depends how you're running around the soccer field during those 5 laps.  For example, being outside gives you the liberty of incorporating quick sprints, balistic lunges/squats and moving your arms for a peripheral pump.  If you can do that intermittently while you run, then it's likely you'll burn more calories on the soccer field even only at 5 laps.  But that's a little difficult to do at the gym treadmill unless they have a track you can run on.\n\nI basically do both.  Run outside and at the gym.  Variety is excellent.  If you're just doing steady running, then try and double the amount of laps you do on the soccer field to increase your calorie expenditure.  If you're bored at the gym, try using an Mp3 player for motivation during your favorite tunes.  \n\nBasically, if your goal is to burn calories, then you either have to increase the intensity during your 5 laps or increasing the duration to 10 or more with steady running at a constant heart rate.\n\nBottom line is do what works best for you to achieve your goals and keep you motivated for more.

A few good examples are running on the treadmill, using the elliptial machine, or exercise bike. About 30 minutes a day is a great cardio workout!

Timing your walking while on your virtual treadmill, along with performing some simple math, will tell you how many calories you are burning. For each half-hour you march in place at a normal brisk pace of 120 steps per minute (about 3.5 miles per hour), you will burn an amount of calories that equals your weight in pounds. In other words, if you weigh 150 pounds, marching in place on the virtual treadmill will burn 150 calories each half-hour, or 300 calories each hour. To find out how many calories you are burning per minute, simply divide 150 calories per half-hour by 30 minutes, or divide 300 calories per hour by 60 minutes, which, in this case, equals 5 calories per minute.

First, a pedometer has to read the same number of steps to eliminate the possibility of running more steps in a certain distance versus the number of steps by running in place. It depends on your definition of running in place. If you mean standing in one place with the full motions of running, then no. However, if you mean running on a treadmill so that you remain in the same place but have a simulated running experience, then the answer is yes. The reasoning is that when running a distance, other factors are involved. There are friction and greater muscle exertion. These factors lead to burning more calories - getting a greater amount of exercise.
