i dont know if this is the right place to put this.

what is the best running routine for fitness and weight loss.
i want to loss about 48lb. and i want to get be able to do 1.5miles in about 10 to 10.5 mins

can anybody help me.

Start slow and work your way up to faster times.

for the wieght loss, riiiight when you wake up in the morning, go grab a jump rope. 1 min on a jump rope is equivalant to about 7 mins on a tread mill. that will torch your fat. and its a pretty fun cardio.. i mean, atleast compared to running on a tread mill like a gerbal. it will also help improve your endurance.

Great idea with rope. Is running a passion or just a means to get back in shape and lose weight?

[madmancman]

i was thinking of changing the sat morning cardio to a curcit like boxing or somthim im just trying to find a gym that trains on a sat morning

[madmancman]

i have already lost 18lb in 3 weeks doing this

[madmancman]

i did box alot when i was in the army and a did muay thai and weight lifting before i joind the army. but when i got out i have just sat around for nearly 2.5 years i put tones of fat on and just wana get bk in shape.

im not earning a lot of money at the moment because of uni and no full time job so im looking for a cheap and cherfull way of getting fit so i just thought running is as cheap as they come.

as soon as i get bk to a normal job( plus i dont wana get my fat ass k.o coz im not fit haha) i will start back either boxing or muay thai.

Get yourself a copy of the Bas Rutten training cds, they are great and will help you lose weight get in shape and build up an amazing cardioé

The 29 minutes all around workout is just insane.

Along with some weight training usually full body workout 3 times a week and a good diet you will reshape your body for sure and be amazed of how you look in 6 months.

[madmancman]

yea i would like to do somthing like that and when the purse string get looser ill start going back to so sort of fighting training.

i was think going bk to boxing or muay thai coz that ground game looks HARD.

Swimming is also an amazing option as well. Great way to break up the cardio and still get the job done

[madmancman]

is swimming good for fat loss ?

[madmancman]

does any one else have any ideas for me ?

[*RAGE*]

Running in the morning before you eat is good for fat loss, when you run change the speed, run fast for 30 seconds and slow it down for 60 seconds and continue that for at least 15 min. I great source on running could be found a runnersworld.com. check it out they have a lot of good ideas on running and weight loss, also on this page under training they have a lot of good ideas as well. good luck..
