All girls bloat up at the time of their period.  It is not real weight gain.\n\nYou must have easy periods if you can run during them.  Take a break for a day or two till the worst is over.  Then go back to your regular schedule.\n\nOf course all the running the world will make no difference if you do not eat a healthy fruit, veggie, lean meat diet.   NO JUNK FOOD AND READ ALL LABELS.  Just make label reading a habit and teach yourself how to eat healthy.\n\nNo fast food and should you go there.  No fried,\nhave a salad or yogurt with fruit or eat the burger without the bread.  NO FRENCH FRIES.\n\nKeep your portions to the size of a deck of cards.\n\nGood Luck on your weight loss.  I am also doing it, down 15 lbs so far.

You should stretch, so you don't get sore from running, and get good sleep.  Trust me.  I take track.  Maybe in the morning before track drink an energy drink, but a light one, because you don't want to get sick or get a cramp.  Make sure you wear deodorant!! l0l

you should practice everyday, and if you "push" yourself then you will get faster. Remember: pain is weakness leaving the body. Also if you keep running when your sports are ended it will help you keep all the strength you've built up.

Depends on how tall you are. And no I would not push it, if you are feeling to have to catch your breath while running, don't. Start with walking and if you can walk well you can like walk two minutes and run one and built it up like that. Walking is a very good excescise so don't start running till you can walk long time. Good shoes are also important because you have to carry extra weight on your feet. Swimming is also very good excersise, because you don't have the weight to carry with you and is very good to build up your condition. Also biking is good excersise. Well remember don't push yourself, eventually you will get there and loose weight, don't expect any miracles. It could be even that you gain some weight at first since your muscles are tonung from the excercice. Good luck and take it slow, one step at a time. When i started running I was happy to be running one hole minute, now I run allready 8 years and I can run 1 hour 30 minutes without any problem. So everybody is different, take your time and keep on excersising. If you experience any chestpaines during or after excercise, stop and go see a doctor and he can help you build up a excercise plan.

Depends on your age, base training, and overall health.  And what are your goals, marathons, body building, or good health?  If you have a specific goal or talent, a coach can surely help you develop that talent.  Myself, I used the gym to tone a little and to warm up to run.\n\nHere's a summation of all I have read about the subject and my experience.  I think the teachings are and have been for a long time that you should weight train no more than every other day.\n\nAbout the running - I ran almost every day for many years.  It is okay to run every day IF you take 1 day a week to rest, and avoid overuse.  Looking back at every illness and injury, I attribute to long periods of running without a day of rest.    Overuse occurs in any form from illness to injury.\n\nI don't think running inhibits your muscle recovery unless you do excessive quad and hamstring in the gym, in which case, you are doubling workouts on your legs that I would discourage.  In fact, running probably speeds up the flusihing out of lactic acid that builds up with weights.\n\nRemember that weight training shortens your muscles and running tends to lengthen your muscles.  \n\nBottom line is this.  eat right, take vitamins, listen to your body, get plenty of rest.  Never forget that a good day of rest is as good as a day of training.  GOOD LUCK.

Yes, you can do any exercise with the smartburn product just as long as you get your heart rate up. \nI suggest 30 minutes of walking ( not the be confused with strolling) a day to start. Then add on ten minutes or walk at a faster pass.\nWalk at a pass were you are breathing medium hard.

Running is so very good for your lungs!!  I spoke with a Doctor several years ago and He said your lung capacity grows Immensely whilst you run!!!  (I use to run 6 days a week for an hour every AM.  Needless to say I was in the best shape of my life.  I am hoping to do that again in the very near future)  There are some great magazines out there.....ie.... Runners World....etc. Did you also know there really is a Runners High??? Yup !!! About 15 to 20 mins into your run Endorphins are released** Good Healthy 100 % Natural High **!!! Its proven !!! So keep running just make sure you stretch before & after & you have an excellent shoe-( I prefer Reebok!) Take Care !!!

The best answer is - your body has adapted to this workout and it is no longer pushed!!  Now that you are in better shape than you were when you began, you have to increase the time or intensity.  Maybe you can start mixing interval running in.  That is - walk 1/4 mile then run 1/4 mile.  Your body learns how to adapt and you have to continously revamp your routines in order for your body to keep burning fat!!  Good luck

Yes, it can be normal.  It depends on many things.  A womon who does lots of exercise may have periods that are quite far apart, maybe several months.  I know one womone who runs at least 2 miles every day, and she once told us she goes without a period for several months at a time.\nIt is deferent for each womon though, so you should still see a doctor and make sure nothing is wrong.

That's a lot of cardio!  I usually only do 20 minutes four times a week.  What I find fun is an elliptical machine.  These are at all gyms.  I usually bring my iPod or plug my headphones into the TV so I can watch that.  Do something that takes your mind off of you exercising.

Oh, I run both! I'm #1 in my conference. I could make a training schedule for you but I don't know your goals or how long you've been running. So email me and I'll be glad to help. Be sure to always drink alot of water. And do some jumps after about a 20 min. run. That will make your legs strong. And STRECH!! Do abs. Running, beleive it or not, has a big effect on your running.Don't drink water within 30 min. of a run or eat anything for an hour before either. This will prevent you from getting side cramps, witch are so painful they caused me to drop out of a race once, and make me lose a race I was winning and I ended up falling and losing 19 places within 800 meters to the finsh line. It sucked! So email me, I'd love to help! dollars_xc@yahoo.com

Any particular exercise regime when done over time,stops working 'coz your body stops responding to the stimulation after a certain period,when it gets used to it.The Firm is a good place to begin your "being healthy" efforts but make sure you don't do the same exercise everyday.Variety is the key to stick to your workouts & for your body to have a chance at getting what it really needs.Do The Firm one day,jog the next,jump rope the next day for 30 mins,etc.,and then the firm again the next day. Keep changing whatever you do and eat healthy.Good luck.

hardcore! \n\ni respect that. \nhow often do you change your routines?\ni feel once your muscles are accustomed to a certain exercise--you must stimulate them differently if you want optimal growth...\nyou want to constantly challenge them to perform new types of movement that will recruit more fibers to help you perform your exercises\n\nsomething tells me you definitely know what you're doing =P\nbut perhaps --if you change your exercises--once every 4-6 weeks--you might gain better results\n\nalso--4-5 exercises per body part sounds little too exhaustive--maybe 2-3? as long as you do them with all out intensity \n\ngood luck

Hi:), Registered Nurse here; Providing you have no underlying health issues, you can maintain your regular exercises activity throughout your menstrual cycle, from day one to the end.  Having said this, now if you find yourself to fatigued to maintain normal, routine of exercises, cut back to where you feel comfortable.  I know if you experience heavy menstrual flow, or haven't gotten enough rest, this can reduce your endurance level.  If you find it to strenuous, one doesn't have to exercises everyday, you could give yourself a pass on the days of your menstrual cycle that just seem to harsh.  However if your a Basketball player, or other sport, you may not always have this option.  \nThanks for the opportunity to address such a sensitive question.

It's probably best to get your body used to a set schedule, that way your system knows what to expect.  So, it's probably better to exercise at the around the same time each day, although it's not bad to exercise at different times...

you could run less, and do a different form of exercise.. but most cardio will work your calves.. i guess try not to be on your toes too much when you run.. use the balls of your feet.
