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?

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?
What is more beneficial, running or going to the gym?
Any exercise is better than no exercise.When it comes to beneficial, it is more of a personal choice and the goals you have in mind.Running is better when you want to lose a lot of calories. It is helpful in getting rid of that ugly beer belly. When we run our brain produces endocannabinoids which puts us in a state of euphoria which keeps us committed to running while boosting our mood. Also we only require running shoes as an equipment in running and we are good to go in our trackpants plus no monthly fees or heavy package. You can run wherever you feel comfortable, you can run even if you are out of town for days at your own preferred time, no need for a time bound schedule. Runng helps in keeping your knees healthy and toning up your leg muscles.Gym is better when you are looking for a muscular physique and want to feel confident about your overall body. There is an exercise for every part of your body. In gym you will get personal trainer who will make sure you perform your exercise in a proper form and also support and motivate you to do better. It will also help you to stay away from injuries. Yes, in gym you may lose fat a little slower than running but weight training burns fat effectively while at the same time building metabolism-boosting muscle that helps you burn calories long after your workout. Unlike running, You don't need to worry about the temperature outside. The money you pay in gym will keep you hooked to the gym even if you don't feel like. Gym provides an environment which running can't, you see a lot of people working out which motivates you to keep on going. Gym gives an option to customise our workout according to our needs and the workouts are not monotonous, they change day by day. Plus sticking with a schedule will help our body as exercise done at same time everyday helps in proper development of the body.I go to gym during week days and do running/ cycling during weekends.So, all been said, I would suggest if just losing fat is not your goal. You should hit a gym and do proper workout and tone out each and every part of the body and develop a good physique while being monitored by a trainer.25 Reasons Running is Better than the Gym25 Reasons the Gym is Better than Running
Is a personal trainer worth it at the gym, charging $600 for 10 sessions, 55 minutes?
You first need to lose some excessive body fat and the best way to do this is to join a local gym. Your local gym should have cardio classes such as BODY ATTACK AND BODY PUMP, which I regularly attend on a weekly basis apart from my weight training routine. And these classes are very beneficial for you. Body attack is very good for scorching fat and improve your overall fitness and confidence. Body pump is also cardio program, but it is weigh- based and emphasizes on volume rather than the amount of weights. But make no mistake, the intensity is very high and you will feel your muscle burning when you first started. However, body pump class teaches you how to correctly perform weight training, if you want to shape up your muscles and lose body fat ( given that you watch out for your diet ) quickly, do body pump and attack. They are painful at first, but stick with them and you will not want to miss a single session. When you are familiar with the weight training techniques you learned from body pump, you can begin your weight training routine with correct form and posture. This way, you can save some money from hiring a personal trainer. A personal trainer can be necessary in some cases when one is completely new to weight training and needs some verbal encouragement and/or personalized program to achieve his goal, but in my honest opinion, if you can, attend body pump classes, you will learn to do what they do in the gym there. If you must have a trainer, a few sessions would be enough, 10 is a bit too many, 5 would be enough. 60 dollars for an hour training is about right, but the trainer'd better be good.
Does running/jogging helps lose weight and man boobs?
duh its excercising isn't it?
Better to workout in the morning or night?
To be honest, after 10 years in the fitness business, 18 years working out, and, all the research that I have read, I can tell you unequivicable that - It doesn't make a whole lot of difference when you work out .. as long as you work out consistetly !! That having been said - 1. working out in the morning will help you get energized but, if you are not a morning person, trying to make yourself get up isn't going to help matters. Although, you might want to try it a few times and see if it does indeed get easier. You may find, once you start a morning workout, you will find yourself a little less lazy in the am 2. Depends upon your physiology and how soon before going to bed you are going to work out. Trying to sleep an hour or so after working out probably isn't the best idea. For most people, a regular fitness program helps them sleep better and wake up refreshed. 3. The best time to stretch is after you warm - up your muscles , morning or pm, as long as you warm yourself up (5 - 10 minutes of walking or general calestenics) it doesn't matter when you stretch ... just that you do it !!
