How about walking Cindy? You don’t need to RUN to get a good work out! Have you ever thought about getting a pedometer and setting a goal for yourself of 10,000 steps a day? That might seem like a very high intimidating number, but it is actually quite easy to achieve! 🙂

I’m actually too heavy to run but I do need to do more cardio. I swim 5 days a week but I am good at it and find it hard to get the heart really pumping. I also spend most of my time compensating for my butt that floats too much. Elyptical, bike and stairs are a problem because of achilles tendonitis. Maybe I can jog in the water if it fairly deep. Otherwise it is modified burpees (basically get down on your tummy on the mat and back up) as my only cardio and I am bored with that.

Oh sugar, it’s the bane of everyone’s existence, however I have crazy intense will power and the fact that it makes me really sick, helps me stay far away from it! LOL!

Do you run outside or inside?

The steps for weight loss can be pretty simple…workout, eat better, more sleep, more water…but so many people stumble over the execution of those things and bad habits that hang on. Sugar is my hangup, haha! I used to dislike running, but I really enjoy it these days and I love weight lifting 😉

Running is by far my favorite way to get my heart rate up.

I have actually read that as well! However, how much is running too much?

I truly believe that DIET IS KING! 😉

I have to say it: too much running can *increase* belly fat. There have been numerous studies proving that too much cardio exercise is responsible for excess cortisol, which encourages the body to hold on to fat in the stomach. When I was a long distance runner, I had skinny arms and legs but a nice ol’ pooch. I think diet and strength training (and if you have a lot of belly fat to lose, prioritise movements such as squats, deadlifts and presses over abdominal exercises) are the most important factors, and running should only be seen as an optional supplement.

What a fun post. I didn’t know that JHud woke up so damn early to go running, ha! Personally I’ll never turn down a hot yoga class or cardio kickboxing session. Good stuff!
