Can I Get Exercising Advice?!

Hey congrats. before i say how i burn my fat i'll give you my insight on running.
running longer and harder is always the key to burning massive amounts of calories and fat...you may be saying i cant run like that... most people can't if they aren't used to exercising and i can't if i haven't been conditioning myself. so, i start out slow and gradually, increase speed and duration of my runs and over time my lungs get use to working hard....thats important. endurance comes from breathing easy when you run. ie. you are used to running so you don't breathe as hard and as fast. that is a goal. all beginning runners should start slow and steady and gradually pick up the pace and duration. pumping music also encourages this like techno

so... continuing


I use a bodybugg which is a calorie burn monitor that you wear on your arm it calculates your burn based on your bodies activity in a 24 hour period everyday (as long as your wearing it)

i use running as my main source of burning and i make sure i burn 1000 calories over what i eat (ie.i'll eat 2500 calories and burn 3500 calories)

i do this because i know one fat pound is equal to 3500 calories so if i burn an excess of 1000 calories every day in 3 days i'll have more or less have burned one pound of fat. doing this everyday i lose fat pretty fast yet still healthy. so i would lose 10 "fat" pounds every 30 days if i am dedicated which i find myself doing seeing my progress.

i've helped my friends that are girls however they don't like to work that hard it's easier for them to want to do half the work 500 over so they'll lose 10 pounds in 60 days its slower


so if you work it you could burn 10 pounds in 30 days 20 in 60 and 30 in 90 thats a good look and feeling





o hey also when i'm like man i'm running everyday i instead go camping or backpacking there i'm having fun and i've planned my meals and i'm moving the whole day. since it's the whole day it's better than your one hour or half hour running session my bodybugg proved it.

also even walking the whole day at a theme park provided you don't eat the food there is also super good

snowboarding good
boogie board or surf the whole day good
dancing at a club for 3 good hours or so also good
there's a bunch of ways to switch it up too running though is what i'll base my burning on and i'll do other things on in between days

Congrats, you have a good start. Just keep running and drink more water. Most importantly, control your diet. Just continue what you are doing now for 6 months and you are at it.

First off. Congradulations on lossing 12 pounds that is a fantastic accomplishement.

Vigerous cardio is great. What i recommend is to partly find out what style suits you.

I personally am not a fan of extended running. This is not due to the health benefits its merely a mental barrier for me, instead I like HIIT High Intensity Interval Training.

A couple of my friends do enjoy extended running and recommended the following for me.

HIIT consists of sprinting as fast as you can for anywhere between 20 seconds to a minute, resting in either a jog or walk (its important not to stop moving) for the same or less period of time. Then repeating to around 12 cycles (or as many as you can manage). It has the advantage of firstly not taking that long so its a nice bit of exercise to do if oyu are short on time and it naturally scales as you are able to run faster and for longer. You just extend the sprint period or reduce the cooldown.
Note: That if you manage to make it more than 15 cycles, chances are high you are not pushing yourself in the sprint enough. ^_^ Also at the end you will be absolutly shattered.

I recommend making sure to exercise at least 3 times a week if you can, but generally speaking twice is better than nothing.

Congratulations on the 12 lbs loss! Keep eating the way you are eating. Healthier choices 90% of the time and some junk food at times is perfectly normal! : ) I'd go nuts without my junk food! : P

A marathon is something you can start thinking about once you can run more than an hour without stopping : ) To start, you can do a program called Couch to 5k - C25K. There are some great training plans online.
The way I started running was 2 minutes of running, 1 minute of walking. The first week you should run/walk no longer than 20 minutes total, let your body get used to the running movements. And then you slowly raise the numbers. Good luck! : )

Personal experience. Started running in April 2010 and can now run more than 2 hours without stopping or being out of breath!

Running can be dangerous on your joints like your ankles and knees if you've never done it before.
But you can do it.
Start with just brisk walking, about half an hour. If you can handle that after a week or so, make it faster, like race walking.
If you can do that with no pain, introduce jogging spurts into your walk. Start with just 1 minute. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's important you go from walking to jogging slowly to avoid injury.
Each week add a minute, but only if you can handle it.
Aim to jog for 20 to 30 minutes. Do this 5 to 6 times a week and you WILL lose weight.
But if you progress faster than your body can handle it, you'll injure yourself and be back to square one resting.
It can be done. Good luck.
