how much should i run/jog to lose 15 pounds?

Answer 1

To lose 15 lbs, is really hard to judge when it comes to running. Let me tell you this. When you run what you are going to do it turn fat into muscle especially in your legs. So there might be a time when you look 15 lbs lighter but actually you weigh 3 lbs more then what you started. I tell you this not to get discouraged. What you need to do is find out your body fat % and start there. I run 3miles a day and i went from 29 % body fat down to 18 % in about 4 months. Now this is not normal. I cut out alot of things from diet. The main thing that you can cut out is alcohol, and carbonated drinks. Now a little abit of caffeine before you runis very good for you. Let me tell you why. The caffeine will not only allow you to run longer but it will also keep your heart rate up so that you will burn more calories longer and continue to burn calories after your done working out.

Answer 2

There is no set amount. First you find your Basal Metabolic Rate. Which is:

For an adult male: 66 + (6.3 x body weight in lbs.) + (12.9 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)

For an adult female: 655 + (4.3 x weight in lbs.) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)

That's how much energy your body uses in a day. So, if you consistently fall below this number you lose one pound every time the amount of calories less that you have adds up to your BMR.

So it depends on how much you eat, your weight, height, and age. Everytime you run it subtracts from the calories you ate in the day. Running, 6 mph (10 min mile) will burn 590 cals.

Hmm...a tad excessive of an explanation, but...whatever. Also, believe it or not walking can burn more fat than running. An intense activity such as running makes use of other fuel sources, while continous and steady activities (such as walking) burn just fat.

Answer 3

that's a very good question. and i like that you have a clear goal. here is the only truth: jog/run as far/long as it takes for *you* to loose 3 pounds. then multiply whatever time/distance you jogged by 5.

everyone will have an opinion or quote an expert, but right here you got truth today.

Answer 4

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
