Hey, About two weeks ago I started running every 2 days and 2 days ago my ankle started to hurt and my leg aswell so I may have overdone it a bit, i'm now on a break from running untill tomorrow. I'm 1m78 weigh 67 kilo so it's not that i'm very overweigth (anymore, I used to weigh 85) but there is still a lot of fat on my upper legs which I want gone. So my question: beside eating healthy, drinking lots of water, running every 2 or 3 days, lifting weigths / occasional crunching. What else can I do ?? The days I don't run I feel like i'm not doing anything to lose weight, I'm going to college and live in a house with my gf so I just sit around most of the day. Are there more exercises I can do? I'm really looking for a 30 minute workout maybe including my weigths etc, I've searched around on internet but I can't find a simple 30 min workout with times and exercises. thanks!
You probably hurt yourself by running with a bad stance or loose shoes. Two more things - get at least 8 hours of sleep and expose yourself to low temperatures. When it's cold your body has to burn fat (energy) to keep your body temperature up. If you ever go on an expedition to Antarctica you have you eat whole bars of butter to have enough fat in your body to combat the temps.
awesome, but since it's getting summer and there aren't really cold temps around here atm I'm not sure how that would be possible except for taking a cold shower. I bought running shoes etc and try to watch my posture, it's just my ankle/legs that received a lot of stress because I went from not running to running every 2 days, at least that's what I think. Thanks for your reply tho
The only thing (in terms of weight loss) that running is doing for you is using up calories. So instead of running, just eat less calories!
Your 5 10 147 pounds I dont think your gunna lose any weight. Do squats to get some muscle in your legs that will help you lose some fat.
aight, i'm already on a very healthy diet and not eating a lot so i'll continue doing that, and yeah i've not done squats yet thanks for telling me I suppose they would help a lot with what I want thx
Hey man look into kettlebells. I use to do a lot of jogging but it was getting too much on my knees and tried kettlebells. An intense 30 min workout was way harder than jogging 5 miles. Check out Keith Weber, he has a great kettlebell cardio video
Take a rebuild day you have to workup to other things.. DONT TRY. TO LOOK OR DO WHAT OTHERS ARE..dangerous. setup a schedule stick too it..30 Days ..60 etc add on 1 mile run 2x a week , 250 pound leg lifts 3 times a week. Upper body twice a week etc etc.. then up it after its easy ..those. numbers are example find your comfort zone..even young people can get hurt and possible death over doing it.. mi I have sarcoma cancer in mi thigh region. (Fukcancer) ✌☠fukcancer we winning everyday we awake #teaamfukcancer #teamsarcoma. ..

And keep Tokin'. There is good evidence that marijuana use moderates appetite, metabolism and fasting blood insulin levels in a very healthy way. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Wait.....5' 10" 147lbs and you think you're overweight? For a 5' 8" male normal is about 155lbs so unless you are female you are actually under.
First of all, congratulations on starting your fitness journey. Like all journeys there's bumps along the way but the most important thing is that you stick with it! If you're joints are suffering from pounding the pavement, perhaps consider some alternative excercises such as swimming, riding a bike etc or even using cardio equipment at the gym such as x trainers, rowers or even the treadmill as it has suspension. If you want to stick with running outdoors, my advice is to decrease your distances run and slowly increase them as you get fitter. Injury usually comes from fatigue as our technique can get sloppy once we're tired. Train smarter, not harder! The best exercise for weight loss is weight training as this causes the most metabolic damage and therefore burns calories far more efficiently. The main trick with weight loss/ weight gain is a simple one - calories in v calories out. If you burn more calories than you eat you will lose weight. If you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain wait. Now this doesn't mean stop eating food and exercise non-stop!!! The most effective and sustainable way to lose weight is SLOWLY and CONSISTENTLY!!! No yo yo dieting!!!! You should only aim to lose max. 0.5kg PER WEEK!!! A good way to start a diet is to track your calories. Write down everything you eat and drink each day for an entire week. Literally everything, whether it was a sandwich, a cookie, a piece of lettuce etc and calculate the average calories you consume each day (there's plenty of calorie counter apps you can download if you need help). Once you have worked out your average daily caloric input, start cutting it down by approx 500 calories. Eat at this caloric defecit for a week and see if it's helped lose the desired amount of weight for that week. If so, reduce your calories by a further 500 etc. You mention the fat at the top of your thighs. It's important to remember that you can't "spot target" body fat. All you can do is continue to lose weight until the desired area is a lean as you like. If you're looking for alternative exercises to do around the house on days that you don't run - Google "prison workouts" - you'll find some awesome exercises that need minimal to no equipment (burpies etc). Hope this helps you in some way or another
I use to weigh well over 300 pounds, and I know the struggle very well. Here are my tips -Go jogging/ running, either will burn calories like no ones business. You do not want to start off hardcore when you first start, this is a mistake a lot of people make. What I mean by this is, don't put to much stress on your body. If you have never done large amounts of running before, start off by doing a half hour walk/ jog or run. Every 5 minutes jog or run, then give yourself a break every 2 minutes. Do this in a cycle. Eventually, you want to build up to the point where you can run for 10 minutes and a 2 minute break . Just keep building, and set a goal for every month that you will increase this little by little(For example, you will then next increase to 20 minutes and a 2 minute break). In a couple of months, you will diffidently see your hard work pay off. You will eventually get to the point where you can run for an hour with no break needed. Just take it slow, losing weight does not happen fast. *IMPORTANT!!* ONLY use running shoes, do not use any other type of shoe when you begin. If you use skateboarding shoes, etc, you will fuck your legs big time and might lose motivation. - Stick to a diet that is low in fat and stick to planned meals through out the day. For example, I will usually have a meal that is around 600 to 800 calories for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. *Total consumed calories for the day:1800 - 2400 calories (For someone who is around 5'10 to 6 feet tall).* If you need to, throw in a snack that is around 100 to -150 calories somewhere in there. However, do NOT drink soda and try to take it easy on juice, unless you have made it apart of your snack. Now what I have listed above for the meals and calories is just an example and may vary for you. It really depends on your height and the desired weight you are trying to go for. If you are taller, you will diffidently want to increase your calorie intake, but don't go crazy. If you would like me to help you narrow this down, I will be happy to do that for you. - If you are really big, another problem is when you lose the weight, you may have to deal with excess skin. However, from what I have read, it looks like you are doing weight training. That is great! Make sure you are working on your legs, mid section, and arms. This should help in preventing the excess skin and will tone your body along with the running. Also, diet plays a role in excess skin as well. However, I do want to mention that lifting weights may increase your weight, but this is good weight because you are gaining muscle. So don't panic if you notice that you have gained weight after hitting the gym for a few weeks, this is perfectly normal. Another thing that also might add on to random weight gain is winter. It is very common to gain around 10 pounds during the winter time because your body will retain water. I have also noticed that I am a tad bit more hungry during the winter.(Damn cold) So you may eat a little bit more during the winter, but try not to go off the deep end and eat over 300 calories. -Give your self a break once in a while. Is it Thanksgiving? Christmas eve? Let loose man, eat some food and enjoy it for once, just don't let it turn in to a habit. In all , you want to commit to a plan that you know you can stick to, like jogging or running and sticking to a planned diet. No binge eating. \\ One last thing, it is never a bad idea to give your self a break from running or working out once in a while. Say maybe you will give your self a 2 day break each month, or a week off in the summer. However, try to keep to your diet during the breaks.
Also, don't do pills. They are a temporary fix and will not be permanent. Anyone that I have ever known who has taken pills always gains the weight back and more.
Something else that helps is to eat foods that nourish your body like veggies and fruits. If you are a meat eater, stick with white meats. Try to avoid beef, pork, and red meats in general.(Unless it is lean) In all respect man, don't do pills. Take time losing weight. This will be the key to keeping it off in the future.
