If you want to make great strides with fat loss from your exercise routines, you should consider adding running to your list of exercises. All you need is a pair of running sneakers, warm clothes (on cold days) and you’re ready to go.

The good news is that you don’t have to run very long distances or for long durations to get results. However, after a few weeks you’ll be able to jog for a longer durations of time and distance.

You get results by running on an interval basis for 20 – 25 minutes. For example, you can walk for a minute and then jog for a minute for 10 intervals and you can get a great work out in. You’re body will actually burn fat from interval running.

There are many benefits that come with adding jogging or running to your exercise routine. Here are some that come to mind.

For one, jogging can provide the physical challenge needed to keep you interested in working out. Remember, jogging requires your whole body to perform the movement without any help with a machine. Sure you can use a treadmill. But the treadmill doesn’t do the work for you (at least in my case).

Physical challenges are great for people who spend all of their day leading a sedentary lifestyle. A good challenge may be trying to run a mile in 10 minutes. Achieving these challenges can build pride and confidence.

Running, of course, is one of the many exercises that help you relax. You are using your major muscle groups and using a lot of oxygen from the aerobic exercise. You can easily relieve stress and tension and focus your mind elsewhere instead of common problems. Especially, if you’re committed to reaching a physical goal you set for yourself.

If you like to start adding running to your work out, you should seek the advice of your doctor to make sure you are ready. If haven’t tried running in a long time or feel you are too heavy to jog, you should start off very slowly and with something easy.

You could always interval train because you will still get results. For example, you may want to try and walk for 3 minutes and jog for a minute until you reach 20 minutes. After, executing the workout for a few sessions, you may start feeling like you want to run more.

After a short while, you may see dramatic improvement in your endurance. From there you will start seeing the benefits of running. If you are trying to lose weight you’ll melt the fat away.

What is a good alternative exercise to weight training and running?
I’m a 44 year old man and I work out regularly at a gym about 5 days/week. My routine consists of weight training followed by running on a treadmill. I feel like my training has hit a plateau over the last 2 months. What is a good alternative to weight training and running that might help to shake things up and shock my body out of this plateau state?

try swimming, it’s probably the best all round exercise you can have and won’t put any pressure on your joints.

Swimming. I incorporate swimming into my daily exercise and it helps a lot. Tennis is also a great way to exercise, but I think swimming is the way to go.

Cross training? Gyms usually have cross trainers. And bikes, too. Both great cardiovascular exercises.

A fantastic alternative to both is swimming. The water acts as resistance (i.e. the weights!) and the exercise itself is a cardio exercise. Swimming tones everything.

If you’ve hit a plateau, perhaps what you should do is change your workout slightly rather than find a complete alternative. Make one day a swimming day and do the rest the same? Or increase the intensity or type of run that you do. Running outside is naturally of a slightly higher intensity to running indoors.

Another good tip I’ve been given before is to do weight training and cardio training on different days, rather than in the one session.

Good luck!

You feel like you’ve hit a "plateau" because the body gets used to the repetition. A lot of strength trainers, including myself, try to change up their routines every few weeks so they introduce new movements and challenges to their muscles and bodies. You can continue to weight train and run but try different things like free weights instead of machines, rope resistance excercizes, shorter distance sprints, run up hills, etc.

After a few weeks of your alternative training, you can go back to the old training. I would recommend at least 3 routines.

Routine 1- 6 weeks
Routine 2- 6 weeks
Routine 3 – 6 weeks
Routine 1 – 6 weeks etc

Swimming freestyle is excellent – great cardio workout and really good for your back.

Cycling is fantastic for your cardio fitness and leg endurance.

Try yoga to improve your flexibility, which could help your weights and running to be more comfortable.

Does your gym offer circuit classes? These are a mix of cardio, muscle endurance and strength exercises, and can be loads of fun if you get a good instructor.

Boxing gets your heart rate right up, and works in your strength in a different way from weights,

Have you tried interval training when you run? INstead of running the whole time at a steady pace, alternate fast and slow. You’ll get a more intense workout in less time this way.

How long has it been since you’ve changed your weights program? Changing any of the variables (weight, reps, sets, rest between sets, order of exercises etc) will force your body to adapt & give your training a kick start.

Super sets are a great way to increase the intensity of your workouts. Pick 2 exercises for the same body part, for example upright row & overhead press for shoulders. Perform a set of one exercise, then move straight into the 2nd exercise without a break. You can also do this with opposing muscle groups, eg biceps and triceps – superset bicep curls with dips or something like that. OUCH!

Everyone gets a bit jaded with their training sometimes, so now could be a good chance to try something a bit different. Have fun!

5 Healthy Tips For Weight Loss

1. More Meals, Smaller Portions: Research has shown that eating 5-6 smaller meals a day, instead of 3 large meals drastically increases your metabolism. Try health bars or protein shakes as meals replacements. Make sure you eat smaller portions to allow your body to properly process your meals.

2. Vitamin and Nutrients. It is so important to get the proper vitamins and minerals EVERY day! With our fast pace lives, its so hard to eat healthy. You must make sure at a minimum you are taking a high grade multi vitamin everyday. Ask a physician to recommend one for your age, gender, and lifestyle. Yes, it makes a difference!

3. Take the Stairs - This is meant both literally and figuratively. Literally take the stairs when you have the option. It's a great way to get the blood flowing and burn some calories, just think of the elevator as the easy way out. Take it a step further and apply this concept to everything you do. If you have an office job, find a close place to walk to lunch everyday. Stand up and stretch out once and our for a few minutes. Are bodies were built to move!

4. Laugh: This may sound silly, but laughing is an amazing way to burn calories. It also flexes every muscle known in your abdominal core. Surround yourself with funny people, you will be happier and burn some calories too.

5. Don't Eat Late at Night- One of the biggest mistakes people make is eater big portions late at night. Make sure you don't eat within 4 hours of when you go to sleep, or even lay down. This gives your body enough time to properly digest your food while your still active.
