Is it good to run everyday?

Question

Answer 1

It depends on how far you run each day.

If your interested in body building a 2 mile run (approximately) would be great everyday. This would strengthen your heart since weight lifting doesn't do much for the heart. If your running for more than 3 miles, you probably don't want to do it everyday since running will decrease your upper body mass and therefore hinder your body building efforts. Muscles (protein) in the chest and arms will move to the legs.

Lots of running will make a guy lean, not massive. So if you want to be massive, do either short runs everyday (1 to 2 miles) or 2 to 3 longer runs (3 to 4 miles) per weeks.

Then once-in-while take a weekend off. Your body needs time to recover and rest. Research shows that if you over due a exercise, stress hormones increase and they can make you more suseptible to illnesses and injury.

Besides this, don't forget to eat right! High protein (like around 120 grams daily for weight lifters), and quality carbs and fats.

If your working out regularly now, always have fun doing it and keep it up!

Answer 2

For a few months I was running 2 miles a day 5 days a week, before I went into work. I started at 237 pounds and did it for 21 weeks, losing 1 pound a week on average (weight fluctuates a lot day to day). My lower legs didn't enjoy being pounded into the concrete sidewalk and the pain steadily grew, though I would sometimes take Advil or the like before I ran. Eventually I decided to give my legs a rest, so of course all the weight came back.

I suggest doing 2 miles a day 3 days a week, with at least a day of rest between runs. I was able to keep that up during daylight savings time since I have to run after work now but I hate running in the dark (and cold).

Answer 3

Yes, I am not a body builder but I am in the army and running is a cardiovascular exercises and all the cardio exercises are good everyday. Don't forget to use the right running shoes for your feet and to drink lots of water.

Answer 4

Ooh boy, the soreness later is only not unquestionably worth the ease you get once you're youthful. i % low impact workout. For cardio, rebounding is powerful (mini trampoline) simply by fact the impact is absorbed with the leap. of course, not anybody who does extreme impact workout suffers a painful destiny later. you have gotten solid genes and a powerful techniques. yet verify you pay interest to your bones and joints throughout your existence. Take your calcium now! Please!

Answer 5

Depends on your physiology.

Some people really cannot take the pounding. Unless you are a competive runner, I would alternate the running with other activities.

Answer 6

Running is a good exercise, it not only energizes you, but tones the muscles as well. I used to run 10 miles a day.

Absolutely, a good 20-30 minute moderate pace run will keep your heart in check and your metabolism burning....good choice!
