Yes you could lose weight by running 1 hour per day.  Running is a bigger calorie burner than swimming, but it is fine to mix them up.\n\nGenerally, running burns 100 calories per mile or 100 calories per 10 minutes.  Your calorie burn will vary depending upon your fitness level and how hard you are working.\n\nSo assuming you burn 500 calories per run, it'll take you (theoretically speaking) 10 weeks to lose 10 pounds (7 days per week at 500 calories, where 3500 calories equals one pound).  \n\nHowever, running that much might result in injury, especially if you currently aren't a runner.  I recommend hitting the pool or an elliptical trainer.  Your body will enjoy the change of pace and you'll put less stress on your joints and you'll have less burnout.\n\nI usually run about 25 - 30 miles a week and hit the gym for weights 4 x week and I've maintained my weight for years.\n\nYou can use a site such as www.fitday.com to monitor your calories and activities to see how you are doing.  Keep in mind, you certainly aren't overweight and I'd recommend using running for fitness, not a weight loss tool.\n\nGood luck.

It could be counter productive as you might damage yourself if you suddenly take up jogging as your muscles/joints arent used to it. I would start walking briskly first then go on to jogging. I find it better going to a gym as you avoid pollution, rain etc and you can do more varied activites for over all fitness, plus your less likely to damage your joints then on the treadmill than on the pavement.

jumping rope is better for you. jogging is too hard on the knees and arms and i suggest trying "brisk walking" that is the best!!!!

jog is the best over all excersize, tread mill if the neighbor hood is too scary to do it outside. I know of a boy who joined the cross country team in High school just to run and he really slimmed down. He didnt win but he got healthier and slimmer.

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.

Running does burn more calories, but you can keep walking for 1 hr and not feel tired or worn out from exercise.\n\nRunning is stressful on your joints, whereas walking is not.  Both forms of exercise are good for your heart.\n\nIt really depends on the amount of time you have for exercise.  And what you plan on doing afterwards.  I usually enjoy walking more, so I do more of it, and thus get more exercise.  Running is a pain, and so I tend to avoid it more.  The best form of exercise is one that you enjoy.

I am a male, but this method helped ALOT for me.\nI was skinny, with a "fat stomach" until high school soccer started.  Running 1 mile-1 mile and a half each day with a following 2 hour practice helped.\n\nSo I am saying you don't have to do what I did...but just, make a healthy diet, and start running! Running is actually very relaxing (for me), and it will help ALOT in losing that stomach fat.\n\nBecause of soccer last fall, I lost my stomach fat, and I have been going on about two 5 mile runs each week since then, keeping it off. \n\nTrust me, it helps.

You desperate? Take some E and hit some raves. I lost 1.5kgs (3.3 pounds) in about 10 hours once. True story. But if your not into that, get up every morning, walk around the house a bit to loosen up your muscles, then go for a moderate jog around the block. Over time increase your running distance.

jogging is great exercise. You will lose fat, your aerobic capacity will improve, and you will sleep better and night and be more awake during the day.\nIt will increase your strength and also because it is a load bearing form of exercise, it will slightly increase bone density which is always a plus for women.\nRegarding doing it every day...I would rec 5 days a week and do something else 2 days a week like lift weights.\nAlso- you are tired when you exercise because exercise is, by definition, tiring. Don't worry about it though. Keep it up and you'll be running 10-12 miles at a time without becoming too tired. Our bodies can do amazing things if trained right and fed good food!\n\nGood luck!!

I would have to ask myself what is my fitness goal. Any exercise will help you out depending on your fitness level. If you are into fitness big time and already tried a wide range of products at home or at the gym, you would be disapointed..., but if are looking for something to keep you in shape..., this would do the trick..., but also walking would help too..., running better...., actually not too many exercises can beat the calories burnt while running..., keep that in mind..., all you need is a pair of shoes and no hype..., just companies don't make money when you run...., only when they sell products like this...\n\n:-)

If you have the time, jogging for about 20mins twice or three time weekly is good enought. If you dont have the time, just running on the spot everyday for 10 mins can also help. Besides that, you also should watch your diet, avoid too much carb foods, eat more fibre rich stuff like beans, veg and fruits and drink lots of water, while remember to cut down on sugar,especially sweet drinks after meals, which is the main culprit to weight gain becos, excess sugar in the body is converted to fat and that means it will make you gain weight. Happy dieting...

I definitely think that's enough for toning your body, but if you really want to lose weight, you need to add some cardio too.  Running, walking, jumping jacks, jumping rope, whatever you want to do that will raise your heart rate for 20 minutes or longer, will cause you to shed those pounds.  Cutting out junk food is good too, but don't forget to also watch your portions of "healthy" food, because large quantities of any kind of food will cause weight gain.

No problem!  Change your diet a little.  If you don't drink water, go ahead and start instead of drinking caloric drinks.  Go walking veryday.  This is really simple!  If you want, you can jog 5 mins, then walk 5 mins and keep doing this until you are able to jog 20 mins straight.  You can do it, but I bet just drinking water and walking will be enough.  Eat more veggies and less saturated fats!  Good luck!
