i personally love running , i mean theres just that feeling you get afterwords … its pretty amazing ! i mean, it also fels darn great to say : ” hey i just ran 5 miles” .. but , i mean its not for everybody , and its tough , so most of the time, those who say they are gonna run , don’t really do it, or start to and realize that its not all that easy , and just give up … but i mean , whatever you love doing , do it !

I have been running for a while and it has been very good for me. That said, as long as you do some type of aerobic activity and maintain a decent V02 max. you will be fine.

Walking is always better than running, I agree with you

I think running (or sporting) is the key to lose weight. Because I am eating a lot of junk food and fat thing, but still I get the same weight, because I am playing football (3times a week). So, sporting is the key to succes. If you want to lose weight, you have to do more exercises for the calories you had eaten.

I completely agree. I used to enjoy running as part of an activity in my youth. The Army taught me how to hate running. My cardio love is my road bike. The scenery changes quickly enough for me and I can vary my speed to the workout that I have planned for the day.

But most of all, it is easier on my knees!!!

For some people, getting out of your comfort zone works, but not everyone. I lost 140 pounds without doing strenuous cardio, because I hate strenuous cardio. There is no one formula for weight loss. Experimentation is the key. You can actually like losing weight if you find activities you enjoy.

That is what I am talking about. You have to get out of your comfort zone. You have to readjust what you like. If you are 50+ #’s overweight you aren’t really going to like doing anything physical.

I run on and off, something I need to do every morning…

If you are overweight, you MUST make sacrifices, non of this, ‘well i don’t like it’ talk, just do it!!!

I prefer cycling to running. less prone to injuries and its more fun.

I’m going to do some running later this summer. Not to lose weight or for cardio benefits. Because I haven’t been able to run in over 20 years. I’m getting a total hip replacement next month. I don’t plan on becoming a runner, maybe a walker again. But I just want to go for some runs because I CAN!

And I can’t wait to get back into my weight lifting and kickboxing either.

You guys are right. I come from the old school mentality that running is necessary. I enjoy it now, but before it was always a hassle. Many beginners think that you need to run in order to get in shape, guys like you are opening ours eyes.

I agree, do not push yourself too hard to do something that you do not like, if you have alternatives that you like. There are aerobic classes, elliptical machines, rowing machines, swimming, and many other things that can do your body good. Get that heart rate up to a good rate for you and keep it up

I am currently running stairs. Not exactly aerobic as I do not do it as long as I should, but it is something I enjoy and can do during my schedule. Tae Bo is also good if no one knows you do it…
