How many miles should i be running a day in order to maintain a toned stomach?

Question

I'm a dancer and I manage to stay in shape but was wondering how many miles i should be running a day in order to maintain my results. thankss.

Answer 1

It depends on a lot of things, but 1-3 miles with 45 minutes of pilates or yoga should do the trick.

Answer 2

Probably about 5 miles. But the best way to ensure a toned stomach is dancing, pilates and exercises targetting the stomach muscles such as crunches. Running is for over all exercises.

Answer 3

As many as you can handle. Enough to get a good workout but not so much that you feel you're going to keel over. It's different for each person but an athlete should be able to handle a 5-6 mile jog easy.

Answer 4

As an avid runner, I can tell you that there's no real answer to your question--so much depends upon your metabolism and where you tend to carry weight.

All of that said, I would recommend that you run for at least 30 minutes per day four days per week in a way that elevates your heartrate for the entire 30 minutes.

Answer 5

Running is NOT going to keep your stomach in tone...crunches and leg lifts do that. Running is cardiovascular exercise, will keep you lean, but not keep your muscles in great tone. Good luck

Answer 6

12 to 15
running is good for cardiovascular fitness
to keep tone in your body you needs to stretch and contract

the best way to keep tone in your stomach region is to do crunches

straight crunches
crunches for your lats
and leg raises

Answer 7

Three miles every other day

Answer 8

Since your already in shape...one mile a day is good, but keep it strenious.

Answer 9

1 mile a day okay.

Answer 10
