Jogging to lose weight?
952915
Jogging is a great start to losing weight.  The recommened minumum for cardiovascular exercise(running,walking, swimming, biking) is 3 times a week 30 minutes at an above average pace.  You have to get out of your comfort zone to get the results.  It is also recommended to do something moderate at least 1 hour a day (yardwork, walking).  These are the minumums to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system(heart, lungs).  \n\nIf you really want to lose weight you should be doing even more.\n\nYour legs can get some tone from jogging, but to tone your body you really need to hit the weights.

exercise & fewer calories. that's the only way to lose weight and it's not going to come off in one day. you will only lose 2-3 pounds per week, sometimes even just one pound, but dont give up, it will be worth it in the end.\nstart out with a warm up:\ni usually touch my toes while sitting down, legs straight for atleast 30 seconds, to help loosen up, then 3 sets of lifting one leg and both arms up at the same time, 8 times for each leg, switching legs after i do 8. Then, i do 20 sit ups, 40 jumping jacks, and 10 crunches on each side. Then i run up and down my stairs as many times as i can, which is usually 7 unless i take a break lol. then i get on the tredmill and just go for 25 minutes. i try to run for atleast 4 minutes everytime but u might have to work up your running time. then i do a jogging speed for the other 21 minutes. i'm going to try this thing where you run for 30 secs, walk for 30, run 30, etc. for 8 minutes. this will help you increase ur running ability. after that, go back and do atleast 20 more sit ups and touch your toes for 30 seconds again, and you'll be done. considering that you weigh 166, try to consume atleast 1,200-1,300 calories per day. make sure they are HEALTHY calories though, meaning no junk. you can splurge maybe once a week. have lots of fruits and veggies on hand. good luck!

Yoga is fine if you keep to the simple exercises to begin with, and if you find you are enjoying it take up some classes at you local gym or community center.\n\nIt's not the best of things to lose weight to tho... try swimming, boxercise... anything that gets an aerobic buzz going ie. slightly puffed and warm... the best way to weight loss is a sustainable and healthy diet and regular exercise on a daily basis... at least half an hour of swimming or jogging (or even brisk walking) per day... but no more than 2 hours per session (can cause strain)\n\nSo if you walk any distance during your daily routine try doing so at a faster pace... putting a lil swing into your hips... this also hepls develop the beginings of a sixpack :)\n\nhttp://www.healthfinder.gov/\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/bigchallenge/\nhttps://mplan.10k-steps.com/default.asp?sid=21\n\nHope some of that helps :)

Ideally a combination of healthy eating, weight lifting, and cardio activity will work the best to help you quickly and safely lose weight.  When it comes to cardio, the activity you enjoy will be the most effective in the long run.  However, you do have to be realistic about what each activity can do for you.  Unless you are a very strong swimmer, you aren't going to burn many calories swimming.  It is a good workout for your whole body, but it doesn't burn as many calories as some other activities.  Running burns a lot of calories, but can be tough on the knees.  I'm not a roller blader so I am unsure of the intensity of that workout.  Try some different things and see what you feel most comfortable with.  Running may burn the most calories, but if you hate it and neglect to run, it won't do you much good.  Try switching it up and do multiple activities to keep from getting bored.\n\nKeep in mind that just doing cardio won't help you in the long run.  You really need to eat healthily, and eat enough to sustain your activities.  Lifting weights will help you build muscle (and that doesn't mean become muscular and bulky) which will in turn burn more calories while you are performing all other activies.

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.

I'm in the same situation, so I jog/run/hike.  And do pushups.  Anything that gets your heart rate up for 15-20 a day.  And diet is really important at our point in the weight-loss cycle.  We can't just do diet OR exercise, we have to do both.

I did Weight Watchers and walked on my treadmill for 3 miles per day and I lost 35 pounds in a little over 2 months.  Definitely cut back your caloric intake and start walking or running.

It is quite simple Jenna. Just jog 1 mile 3 times times a week, eat healthy, and do Yoga. It worked tremendously for a very good friend of mine and i am sure it will work for you. Good Luck

For me, running is a very efficient, enjioyable way to maintain a 40 pound weight loss for 5 years (almost). I run an average of 30 miles per week, up to 50 miles a week if I am training for a long race.\n\nIt burns a lot of calories and I see and travel many nice places to do it,.I am very careful with my diet however, adn weight training regularly too to keep my muscle strong.

cut back your total calories, dont eat any carbs after 5pm, except veggies, and do 3-4 cardio (walk, jog, or run) sessions a week.  the distance or amount of time per session will vary to your objective.

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!!

Do a tun of crunches. If you have like 30% plus body fat The fastest way to lose weight is to elevate your heart rate as many times and and as high as you can safely elevate it. Eat small portions of meals many times a day instead of really big portions only a few times a day. Jump rope rules. Anything running or sprinting will burn a super amount of calories, incomparable to weight lost just dieting.\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php

concentrate on jogging and swimming first, to cut pounds without building too much muscle on top of fat. back in the day, when my friend started playing football, he didn't lose weight before he started his heavy workouts, and while he's not fat anymore, he's extremely thick.\n\ndrink lots of water, cut out red meats, take plenty of vitamins.\n\nfor your breathing problems and side pains while jogging, you might try yoga...it helped me out alot...\n\nafter you see yourself losing a significant amount of weight, begin working out with weights...\n\nbe careful not to lose too much weight too fast, i believe the recommended amount is 2 lbs per week. and be careful to keep your weight at a decent level for your body frame. if you have large bones and get too skinny, you may end up looking like a bobble head.\n\ni think at e-diets.com you can get a recommended diet for your lifestyle.\n\nit may be worth trying...good luck.

For me, the goal is feeling well and being able to do things I want to do.  \n\nThe key is consistency.  Start really small, but be consistent with the time.  As an example, start with only 20 minutes a day.  Start by always walking 20 minutes, every day.  Then progress to jogging 3 times a week.  If you don't feel like jogging, it's okay, go back to walking.  But never, ever, give up the 20 minutes a day.  It doesn't matter what you do.  The consistency is what matters.  \n\nYou'll find that if you commit the time, even if its just walking, after about a month or two, you'll have a routine established.
