I like running and i try to run about 2-4 miles(intervals/sprints/jog i switch between that) a day but i take a break once a week on my rest day. Me and my friend are both trying to loose bf right now and his answer to that is eat crap and sit in the sauna for 10mins.

I told him the only way to loose bf is with a good diet and to do cardio but he swears to god that sitting in the sauna for 10mins = the same as my running schedule.

So to end this battle i have with him can someone explain how 2-4 does not = sauna for 10mins
Sitting in the sauna will not have the same effects as running. You really do not have to worry about losing muscle unless your a marathon runner. A couple miles a day is not going to pull a ton of muscle off you. It will keep your heart healthy and hopefully if your diet is ok it will pull some fat off.
