How To Jog 3 Times A Week Without Getting Too Thin

I've been jogging 5 miles a day 5 times a week for the last 2 months. Why are my jeans tighter? No weight loss.

I don't actually know exactly your situation and your routine but here are some things that came in my mind:1. Body Endurance: May be you are doing "too much" workout that your body can actually do. I would suggest, if you're after achieving some body shape, then cut down your cardio (which is running in your case) to 3 times a week and replace rest of the days with some weight trainings.2. Hydration: May be you're not very well hydrated before/during/after your workout. Try to take like any fruit before your workout and during running, try HIIT by incorporating water drinking intervals for lets say 20 secs. I would suggest after your workout, take some protein smoothie.If you're not very well hydrated then your body starts to retain water which can cause body to swell.3. Weight gain: You didn't mention the area where you have gained weight. If you have gained weight in your butt area then it means your body is transforming to its best shape (which also can make your jeans tight) but if its in your thighs/ leg area then I think you should check your posture (same is true for your abs). For abs, there could be so many reasons, like bloating, poor digestion, cortisols (stress hormones which can cause belly to swell), junk or processed food (too much consumption of sodium which causes water retention) etc.4. Diet: As mentioned by others you should check your diet.Good luck!

Will jogging every day or three times a week help me shed of belly fat and eventually get a nice pack of abs?

Jogging is NOT the BEST way to shed belly fat and get six pack abs. However, you can actually shed belly fat FAST quicker than jogging and will only take you minutes to do.While running and jogging will help you initially to lose belly fat it’s the most optimal.There are far better methods to shed belly fat then most traditional cardio methods.When people think of fat loss one of the first things they apply to their regiment is cardio, the other is diet.Let’s get this straight…just because you lost weight does not mean you burned fat. You could of lost some of your hard earned muscle as well.Running or jogging will make you more “efficient” at using fat as an energy source. On the surface this sounds fantastic, but it’s not.When you are efficient at using fat, it means you start to use fat at a slower rate and “better” to fuel activity.To be more “efficient” at using fat as an energy source means to burn less of it, not more of it! You’re getting “more” out of “less.”As you become more and more efficient at storing body fat then your only option is to go longer and harder, which then in turn only enhances the effect of burning less and less fat as you get better conditioned! It’s a downward spiral.So my suggestion (you’ll get better results) is to to short body-weight interval style workouts that you can do in as little as 4–10 minutes a day WITHOUT stepping foot in a gym.Instead of doing your traditional workouts of going to the gym 3-4 times a week and doing your normal weight training and cardio routines for 45-60 minutes at a shot…with this kind of interval style workout, you will be working out for just a couple minutes at a time, several times throughout each day, 5 days/week.This actually SAVES you time compared to typical 45-60 minute gym workouts 3 days a week.Here’s a Few Unique Lean-Body Weight Workouts if You Lack Time.

How many times a week should I run to lose weight and tone up?

Cardiovascular exercise is the biggest myth there is in fitness. Unless you're talking about sprinting, running will have the opposite effect, especially long-distance running: your body will adapt to be more efficient and lower your metabolism by getting rid of your muscles since muscles use a lot of calories even while at rest. Muscles are too expensive to belong in a body that's being forced to be more efficient. As you continue to run and become better at it, you burn fewer and fewer calories per run.If you wanna lose fat (not just weight) and look slimmer, then you need to lift. Get on a good whole-body weight training program and commit to it while maintaining good eating habits with lots of proteins and veggies without overdoing it on the calories, you'll lose the fat in no time. If you really wanna do cardio, then incorporate something intense and brief, maybe run as fast as you can for 10 minutes, and observe how you can increase the distance you run in those 10 minutes over time.

How can I get skinny legs in a week?

Walk 5-10 minutes to warm your muscles. Stretch for at least 1 minute per muscle. Jog for 15 minutes. This may also be substituted by 10-15 minutes of skipping a jump rope, just make sure you do it properly. Kick your legs up to your butt. These are called butt kicks or kick backs . Do at least 50 times per leg. It may seem a lot but it's not as much as you think! Run and lift your knees up to waist height. Walk for about 5-7 minutes to slow your heart rate. Do leg squats and leg rolls. Leg squats are just simply spreading your legs shoulder width apart and squatting. Leg rolls are where you lay down on the floor and place one leg in the air and roll it in a circular motion. Stretch or walk around for at least 5-10 minutes to cool down. Break into a jog every chance you get! And try to drink lots of water in order to stay hydrated. Go biking or cycling. Cycling around is a great way to burn fat and substitute it with muscle mass. By some estimates, if you weigh 130 lb (59 kg), you can burn anywhere from 325 to 550 calories per hour, depending on your speed. This makes cycling a great way to lose weight. There are several ways to use a bike to get skinnier legs: Biking around casually. Bike to the grocery store instead of driving. Bike to work instead of taking public transportation. If you bike casually, going about 11 mph (17.6 km/h), you can burn 275-450 calories per hour, depending on your weight. Use a stationary bike at home or at the gym. Because this is a bit lighter of an exercise, expect to burn anywhere from 250-450 calories per hour, depending on your weight. Do a spinning class. Spinning classes are butt-kicking but definitely worth it. The advantage here is that you burn a lot of calories: a 145 lb (65.8 kg) person might expect to burn about 750-1000 calories per hour of very vigorous spinning. On the other hand, spinning can be quite monotonous and you'll have to push yourself for maximum results.

Why is running every day on a treadmill not helping me to lose weight?

This is a common “myth” taht many women (and some men) still think will get them leaner, and fitter….I unfortunately used to follow this myself. ONLY to find that I kept gaining weight. ..and I am sure that in your mind, running “burns calories’ therefore the scale should be a lower number right?Not necessarily.Let me clear up a few things first.I was at my heaviest in my early 30s when I did 2 hours of cardio daily, ate diet foods, and skipped meals.

SO, you might weigh the same, but in the process lose inches, and firm up flab, while looking and feeling better.Eat for energy, NOT for weight loss.
