Is jogging/running not beneficial for a thin/skinny guy? Should I stop jogging as my friends say I'll be more skinny and thin if I daily run?
If you’re just trying to maintain general fitness, then cardio is generally fine.However, if you’re trying to gain muscles or get bigger, then doing your daily jogs may not be as good.Most people think can cardio can make you look better, since it can help overweight person get back down to a healthy body fat percentage. However, too much of cardio may not be good for lean and skinny looking into packing some serious muscles. For lean and skinny people looking to get bigger, engaging in frequent cardio exercises can bring about a negative effect instead.“You can still do your jogging, provided that it does not affect your daily calories required for effective weight gain/mass gain.”If you wish to know how to calculate your daily required calories for effective mass gain, read more about it at the article below:SevenFitness - The Easy Guide to Mass Gaining with Calories CalculationIf you are still unsure whether you should do cardio (especially for a skinny person like you), read more about it below:SevenFitness - Is Cardio Bad for Lean and Skinny people?

Is it okay for a fat guy to run shirtless while trying to get into shape?
Okay so I'm an overweight guy who in the past year and a half or so has gotten into distance running and changed up his diet to try to lose weight. I have lost a little less than 50 pounds, but still have a ways to go before I look okay shirtless, but I feel I need to. I live in a very humid area, and I'm having huge trouble with nipple chafing if I run long distances. On very humid days (i.e. almost every day of the summer here) I can't run more than three miles without at least one of my nipples getting very irritated by rubbing against my sweaty shirt (I wear sweat-wicking synthetic fabrics for long runs, but it only helps so much). If I use a lubricant like body-glide, that goes up to about 5 miles. I have also tried band-aids on my nipples, but they come off after only a few miles in the high humidity. I ran 12 miles last week, planning to go 14, but I had to take off my shirt and walk home shirtless the final two miles since my nipples were bleeding. The band-aids I had put on my nipples fell off after only a few miles. Yesterday, I put body-glide on my nipples but had to take off my shirt after 7.5 miles of running with bleeding nipples and a blood stained shirt. I walked the rest of the way home shirtless, mostly through the woods, afraid that I might offend someone. Given this situation, if I'm doing long runs, do you think it would just be acceptable to go shirtless? If not, is there anything else I can try?
