Is it better than working out? Do you build muscles if you run like 4 miles a day?
It's two entirely different workouts.ThaReaper wrote:

you tone up and tighten up and shed off the pounds, its different than working out bc its cardio
You also build respiratory endurance and cardiovascular endurance (basically the same thing).
EDIT: When running, I mean. Both are good, aerobic and anaerobic.

cardio workouts such as runs, work the leg muscles and utilize your lungs. But no you wont get buff. Maybe crazy calves. I run 6 miles a day at PT.
Will I lose access fat? Like I have a small slab of fat over my stomach. I want it tight.
yeah, go run.
yeah you will lose that spare tire .... if you want a better cardio, swim - low impact and works the entire body
I might start running on my treadmill then running outside in the summer. Is running inside/outside different?
Well, I do have a pool in my backyard. I'll start swimming once it heats up.SEREMAKER wrote:

ehhhh, i prefer outdoors. its all prefrence. But yeah, swimming is the best. Go do some laps in a pool. Get a workout regiment going. Run on mon, wed, fri and do strength training tue, thur and take weekends to relax.
depends if you run on a track or do some cross country ............. running on a treadmill has its advantages ie set it to go up and down and you don't have to worry about tripping but treads do get boringThaReaper wrote:

tracks are good ... you can feel the wind and on straight aways, sprint them
a big thing is diet ....... you can change what you eat and lose weight by introducing food the heats up your metablism
and eating more often and eating the right foods -- yes eating more will make you lose weight
and DRINK WATER

I drink a lot of water now. I eat a ton of food because of my high metabolism, but I don't know what to eat. Vegetables and fruit?
I prefer swimming. It's relaxing and a GREAT workout.
There's these things, I forgot what they're called...they're like personal swimming stations that are only a little more than the length of your body, and you can swim laps in them because there's a current. They're pretty cool. Totally forgot what they're called. +1 to the person who finds out for me.

more vegatables than fruit (fruit has alot of sugar ) .... bring in protein, watch them carbsThaReaper wrote:

Yeah, fruits and veggies. And some protein and diary too. Eating a big breakfast will help you lose weight. Don't eat more calories than you burn off either. Water is good for you, I love cold water, it tastes good.

the only muscles i've built up are my calves. i can't find a calve machine with enough weight on it to actually work out. as a comparison, i'm 5'10 and i bench about 110 on a good day.
Swimming sucks but I'm biased cause I'm no good at swimming
thats different than running .... those are stairs, that will build some bc you're going gets gravity on the uphillDes.Kmal wrote:

I run for endurance, as well as running stadum stairs to gain some extra strength in my lower body.
