And it was freaking hard, i walked at 4 mph most the time then did about 1 mile running at 6-7 mph all together. I think I should start running more, what do you guys think?

Indeed you should, you got to start somewhere. When your eyes go fuzzy and stuff it feels good.
I don't have abs at all... Well I do, but they're covered by this half inch of fat... That why I'm running. This was my first day. I'm going to start doing it every 2 days.
I ran on a treadmill btw

OH JESUS PUT THAT THING AWAY.
But anyways. Don't be lazy, don't make excuses. Too many people do that and they will never accomplish anything in life. Also cut down on bad foods. There are healthy things that are tasty. (Yes I know its shocking).
Stick with it, being healthy is a life style, its not like lose 20 pounds and then say ooh ima go back to eating bad food and being lazy. You will be back to square one.

Try some fruit. Bananas or something.
I just started running a couple of weeks ago too. So far I can do like 2.5 miles in 30 minutes, I know I suck . I would suggest you run every day until you are completely exhausted:if you can't feel the burn, you're wasting your time. When I went to the store to get some running shoes, the lady was like "So do you run 5 or 8 miles a day?" This just shows that even 2.5 miles is nothing
Why dont you try walking? You'll go faster.argo4 wrote:

"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
I don't know...something must be wrong with my numbers, cause i run the distance without pausing or anything... .I'm like 6 feet, 170 lbs, which is slightly heavy, but still...The Sheriff wrote:

good job, for a start.
but if you want to see any improvement whatsoever you're going to have to cut all fat from your diet. as well, you're going to have to start going long long distances.
for starters, you need to finish the whole thing. you don't work out a lot so ok, but you need to finish all two miles. if you're not tired and sore the next day you didn't work hard enough, especially at the beginning.
you need to run daily as well. two days a week will lose you ten pounds in about as many years.
my current exercise regimen is this (each one is a different day):
12 400m repeats -70-75 seconds (90 second rest, jog a lap after every four, 2 lap cooldown)
50-60 minutes (about 5-8 miles) (finish with four 200m repeats)
2-3 miles easy
5:00 or below mile (1600m), 2:18 or below 800m or 10:25 or below 2 mile (3200m), 59 second or below 400m. cool down.
50-60 minutes distance run
2 1000 meters, 3 600 meters, 4 400 meters, 6 200 meters
50-60 minutes distance run
of course, i'm a track runner so this is a bit much for somebody like you.
for any significant weight loss you're going to have to cut fats, run daily, and run LONG. at least four miles. spend two weeks building up to that. (2 miles the first week, 3 the second, the 4 from there on). and you're set.
if you don't stop it will definitely feel better, as the endorphines start to flow.
motivation is a real issue for a lot of people running, especially when they just start. try to get a group of friends to do daily runs with, or run first thing in the morning (after a piss of course). once you get a stable distance going you need to start paying attention to pace. as you run more your body gets better at it and uses less energy for the same distance, meaning a slower fat burn. so pick it up a bit, or increase your distance, even when you feel like you're already working a bit hard.
if you stick with it you're going to wake up occasionally with all of your muscles burning a bit. but it will feel strangely good to you.
do crunches and pushups after your runs too. 50 pushups, 100 crunches, broken down into reps. this will build core body strength which is going to make running easier. try to hit the leg machines at the gym a few times a week too.

FUCK i hate running, but i had to the other day, i work on long trains almost 260 meters long, anyways i finished work and got in my car and discovered i had left my glasses on the train, SOOOOOOOOO i had to run back to the train about 300 meters, as it was locked had to run the entire length to tell the driver i was on there and not to move, run to the back of the train to get on, then run Thur the entire train to where i was working, got glasses, run back Thur the train to get out at the rear, then run back to the front to tell the driver i found them, AND I WAS FUCKED, but it must have done me some good as the top of my sticks hurt now, BTW this was wearing full uniform and that includes a full length woollen duffel coat.
my full respect to any one who can run

That is a lot. I do lots of push-ups everyday, but not many crunches, I guess I better start doing a lot of those too. Since today was my first time running it was very hard to run it all. So that's why I walked a lot of the time, I'm going to do it again tomorrow and try to run most of the two miles. I get cramps when I run for a long time though... That's one of the main reasons I walked a lot. I stretched before I ran though, and I slowly stopped my run, because I heard it's bad to do a long run/walk without cooling down.Ender2309 wrote:

if you want a good excersize that doesn't require you to do the same thing for 20 minutes, do this.
5 min jogging warmup
jog for 45 seconds
SPRINT for 15 seconds
jog for 45 seconds
SPRINT for 15 seconds
^^ repeat that for 7-15 minutes (start low) ^^
cool down 5-10 minute jog
HiiT. The first time you try that, you'll be gasping for air after about 2-3 reps of the cycle. that build my endurance, conditioning, and burns more calories than pretty much any other form of cardio.
Best tip I could give any one for losing the flab?
1) Don't eat so much shit.
2) If you do down the gym (or what ever you can use) hold onto some bars raise you're legs up and down on you're back with out lett you're bum touch the groud. Do three reps of 15 twice a day.

How old are you? Because thats close to my training (mines usually a little longer/faster, but I've been doing this stuff for a long time). I'm impressed though, this is the first time I've seen anyone with a strong running workout on this forum.Ender2309 wrote:

Mine is usually
Monday - 5k warmup, 2k (6:00), 5x800m (2:10-2:15), 3k cooldown
Tuesday - 8k easy run
Wednesday - 5k warmup, 2k (6:00), 3x(800m (2:15), 400m (60), 200 (25)), 3k cooldown
Thursday - 8k easy run
Friday - no running, core exercises
Saturday - 16-20k run (60-75min)
Sunday - 8k easy run
Just came back from a run...thanks to the inspiration of this thread . I did close to 2.5 miles in 23 minutes, which is like 9.5 min miles or like 6 miles an hour.
@ Sheriff 3 miles in 30 minutes walking is bullshit--average human walking speed is like 4 miles an hour. Your legs would be moving so fast it's actually considered jogging. Unless of course you are 8ft tall and your stride is like 4 ft.
