How long/often should I jog per day?

10 minutes of continuous running is not bad at all. You should build up slowly. Running for few minutes and taking breaks in between is quite common and is often used to build up running time, the key is to mix it up. I would not advise running twice a day, At least not everyday! Once in a while is ok because last thing you need is an injury. To be on the safe side the max I run is 3-4 times a week. Allow your body to heal after nice jogs. And if you feel any pain don't run, listen to your body. Let it heal completely before you start running again.

You should exercise at least half an hour, 3 to 6 times a week.

It's recommended to exercise all over but site below gives spot exercises.  Walking an hour a day is good, but take slow stride, break into jog, then slow down, speed up in bursts, etc., to change metabolism.

your weight is good, no need to lose ny of it. just do regular exercise to keep fit (not to lose weight). this may include 20-30 mins of walking/jogging a day.

CRANK IT UP!!  20 min a day is crap.  Step it up a bit, go atleast 45 min of non stop cardio work outs.  Just 3 days a week will get u in shape.

The recommended amount to ensure a healthy heart and body is to take 30 minutes of moderate exercise 4 to 7 days a week. As long as the exercise raises your heart rate, makes you sweat and doesn't prevent you from being able to conduct a slightly out of breath conversation (if you can't talk, it's too much) it doesn't matter what it is - it could be ballroom dancing, walking, gardening, running, swimming - anything.  Don't forget that resting is also necessary as exercise "breaks" muscle fibres which then "heal" to form stronger, thicker muscles (this is normal).  Resting allows the body to heal itself.

Don't push yourself too hard, just start walking or even jogging everyday. Then go from there. Create a schedule to get some exercise at least 3 times a week, and follow it religiously.

5-6 days a week...shoot for 30-45 minutes a day.  Don't schedule your day off...take a day off when your body feels like it needs it.

3 - 4 times a week.  If you run 4 times per week, run around 3 miles 3 times per week and a longer run of 4 - 8 miles once per week.  Make sure you build up your distance slowly.  A good rule of thumb is to increase your mileage by 10% each week.

You'll feel results in a few days. In a few weeks you will see results too. \n\nInstead of jogging two miles every day, consider jogging four miles every other day. Most of your fat burns off after the first 30 minutes of exercise.

lol. thats easy. buy a treadmill and walk/jog 2 to 4 miles  every weekend. or you can walk/jog 2 to 4 miles every weekend outside. outside will be harder so i suggest running on a treadmill for a month or so just to get the feel for it. eating is equally important if not most. try to eat things with lots of protein. Protein is essential for weight loss. be sure not to eat really fatty foods like McD or anything. Protein will fill you up so you arent as hungry during the day. But be sure not to starve yourself either!!!

Run a lot; I assume your school year starts in September?  You have two or three months to just jog a lot to build up your aerobic endurance.  Each time you run, try to work on increasing your speed through sprints, slowing to a jog when you have to (or a fast walk if you must... just don't stop moving), and you'll gradually see your average speed come up.  A mile is a long enough distance that someone who hasn't worked on their running regularly won't be able to just push through it; you have to be at a certain level of fitness to run over a jog for more than a few minutes without burning out completely (obviously, at the opposite end of the spectrum are Olympic distance runners whose "jog" averages a six-minute mile, a goal I, unfortunately, will never, ever reach without lots of illegal steroids, the pursuit of a pack of rabid dogs as motivation, or an internal combustion engine)

I would recommend interval running.  Start out at a pace you can comfortably maintain for, say, five minutes and then run as hard as you can for one minute, then carry on at your comfortable pace for 5, then beast it again for 1 minute etc etc...aim to do this every other run.  Your 'other' run should concentrate on endurance so run a set distance at a steady pace and watch your times reduce....hope this makes sense...it's hard to explain in type

long slow distance running.  jog an hour a day, go for a 2 hour jog (as slow as you want) once a week, then rest the following day.  If you can't go that far, build up to where you can go that far.  If you do too much at once, you will tear yourself up.\n\nHere is a sample:\nweek 1: 30 minutes a day, 60 minutes on Sunday, rest Monday.\nweek 2: 35 minutes a day, 70 minutes on Sunday, rest Monday.\nweek 3: 40 minutes a day, 80 minutes on Sunday, rest Monday.\n\netc......\n\nadapt a pattern like that to your abilities, and with 4 months, you will be fine.  Thank you for asking early.  People always ask how they can get in shape in 2 weeks, or by Monday, or crazy things like that.

4-5 times a week.  Anything will work but do the one that works for you.  I personally like aerobics classes. I need both the social to get me there.  Like when one of my aerobics freinds asks where I have been, cause they haven't seen me.  I also need the pumped up feeling I get from the group workout.  howver, my brother needs the solitude of running.  Finding out what works for you is the most important.  \n\nI recommend all beginners start with walking.  It is easy, cheap and quick to start.  Walk like you are being chased.  Not a stroll.  Start with 1/2 an hour a day for a week or two.  then walk for 45 minutes.  Finally try to get it to 1 hour.  If you want to start running try it then.  But go slowly for your joints to build up the cushioning they need. \n\nMorning or night?  Studies have shown that am workouts are more effective but I know I won't do them which makes them much less effective if I don't do it.  I also love running at night.  Where I live it is safe and so much cooler to run at night.  I also do my exercise classes at night.  I am usually awake until 12-1 oclock anyways.  So finishing my gym routine at 8ish is not so bad.  The most important thing is finding the right time and place for you.\n\nThe rules listed above while a good idea would set me up for failure from the get go.  I would never be so disciplined in my life.  I have way to much going on.  It works for some people but I make mistakes and just keep going.  Sometimes in a week I won't get any exercise in.. but the next week I just pick up and keep going.  That is life.  Sometimes I also will eat the whole cake but I just try not to do itthe next time. \n\nWay to go you will feel better in the long run.  Also kudos for trying to find out as much info as you can.  Read it all, everyone has good things to say.  Then use what you learned and make it work for you.  Good luck

Do Yoga or walking.  You can go online and get exercises for Yoga and print them out.  It's recommended Yoga 25 minutes per day.  If you walk, change pace for best results.  For example, want slow for 1-2 minutes, then increase speed, etc.
