When you go running 5 times a week do you lose weight more in the cold or the warm?

You will burn more calories being cold than being warm.  The body has to burn calories to maintain body heat.\n\nHowever, you are more likely to lose water weight from sweat running in warm weather.  But water weight and actual fat burning is not the same.  You probably want to burn fat rather than just lose water.\n\nHowever, in burning fat the body is more likely to retain external fat in cold weather as insulation, so during cold weather the fat you lose is more likely to be the internal fat which surrounds your organs.  So from a visual perspective you might not see much of a difference, but you will see a difference on the scales.

It's really up to the runner. Some runners need the whole track suit plus the gloves and hat to keep their body warmth in their bodies. Some runners get really warm while running so they don't need it. However, during the cold weather it is really hard to get warm after starting cold, so I would suggest at least a light jacket or sweatshirt. Personally, I warm up in my sweats even on warm days because it is easier to get things moving, get the blood flowing. Then I'm in my T-shirt and shorts for the actual workout. That's what I would recommend if you don't get cold easily, because if you do the coldness will impair your running.\nHope that helps!

that depends on how much you weigh now....if you weigh more then you will probably loose more.  Running doesn't just make you loose weight though....when you are careful (stretch, warm-up, don't push yourself too hard) it can only make you healthier.

I like to run early in the morning at around 5:00 during the week - treadmill.  And during the weekend I start at around 7:00 with a group for a long run.  During the summer I still run early in the morning but outside, not on the treadmill. I run early because there's nothing to interfere with my run.\n\nFor upper body I swim and lift weights once per week.

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.

Yeah, I heard on TV yesterday that Nascar drivers have been known to lose 10 pound during a race because its so hot and they sweat it out. But talk about dangerous! You don't want to try and sweat your weight away. Unfortunately the only way to do it is through the hard work of diet and exercises. No miracle pills.

Myth #3: The more you sweat during exercise, the more fat you lose.\n\nFact: The harder you work out, the more calories you'll burn within a given period and thus the more fat you stand to lose. But how much you sweat does not necessarily reflect how hard you're working. Some people tend to sweat profusely due to heavy body weight, poor conditioning, or heredity. And everyone sweats more in hot, dry weather or dense clothing than in cool, humid weather or porous clothing. (You may feel as if you're sweating more in humid weather; but that's because moist air slows the evaporation of sweat.)\n\nExercising in extremely hot weather or in a plastic "weight loss" suit will indeed make you sweat heavily and lose weight immediately. But that lost weight is almost entirely water; the pounds will return when you replenish your fluids by drinking after the workout. Further, you could develop heat exhaustion if you push yourself too hard in extreme heat or in plastic clothes. which prevent sweat from evaporating and, in turn, cooling you off.

Each mile you run burns approximately 100 calories.  You need to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound.  So that's about 35 miles x 15 pounds or 525 miles.  If you run 25 miles per week, that's 21 weeks to lose 15 pounds.  That's just with pure running.  If you are also changing your eating habits, you should lose a bit quicker.

Depends on how fast your are running.Usually 10 minutes of running will result in about 60 calories or a bit more.

It take 20 minuets of running before you get your hart rate up ,so try to run more then 20 min.That's when you burn calories. go for 5 min more at a time. when you first start to loose wight might see your pants getting loose. and as you loose the fat your but will get smaller, but also as you build up the muscle it will get bigger.  try to do at least 2 or more miles a day. also if you are going slow enough that you can talk freely ,then you are going to slow to burn calorie's.you should be going fast enough that you can't talk freely but not much faster then that. or you can't goo the long distance. another thing is to eat a small something before you start, this kicks in your metabolism and  also cause's More calorie's to burn .

Try increasing your distance.  For fitness and weight loss, it would be good to run for about 30 minutes 3 - 4 times a week.  Don't do it suddenly--build up to that.  A good rule of thumb to not hurt yourself is to increase mileage by about 10% each week.

it doesn't matter the temperature, whether cold or warm it all gets boiled in your body. The best thing for you to do is have a proper diet, drink a ton of water and milk and go to the gym about 3-4 times a week for about an hour, this will make you lose your weight in no time

By continously moving for at least 20 minutes with your heart rate elevated. You sweat because when energy is expended it is released in the form of heat therefore your body sweats to keep help keep it cool.\n\nWhen you sweat via the sauna or steam room or say when it is 100 degrees outside you are simply loosing water but in no way burning fat.

The calories burned is determined by the distrance traveled.  For ex., it may take you 20 minutes to walk a mile and only 10 to run it, but you'll burn the same amount of calories.  Running just gets the job done faster.  Running is hard on your joints, but it is also excellent for your cardiovascualar health.  My advice to you is walk and gradually build some running into your routine to avoid injury.  Sprinting is an anaerobic work out.  It doesn't burn calories so much as it builds muscle, but muscle tone and definition are good, it that's a goal of yours.

Drinking lukewarm water does not burn more calories...as others have said the colder the water the more energy (calories) your body uses to raise the water's temp so that it can be absorbed into your blood.\n\nDisregard the comment that was posted by someone saying slow jogging burns more calories.  This is a myth, you should pace yourself to jog as fast as you can for the time you have allotted for exercise, this will maximize your caloric burn.

Like any other muscle, your heart & lungs can use a break every now and then too.  I'd keep any HEAVY running to a maximum of 5 times a week.  Light jogging can be done daily however.
