| | | how many miles a week should run to lose weight? I'm 175 lbs. 5'10, 23 yrs old from what I've heard my weight is average, but I have a belly. So far I've started running 2 miles a week, I'm guessing I'd have to increase this because the tredmill says I'm only burning 100 calories a mile. I'm also wanting to work on my abs and to do that, I'd have to lower my weight. |

| | | Hola...
First off, don't really listen to the treadmill because it cannot tell you what extactly you are burning. They just take your weight, age, and speed and it calculates a rough estimate.
Think for a second... Who will burn more calories, someone running at @ 2 mph or @ 6 mph? You don't necessarly need to run more miles, you could run faster and save yourself sometime. Try keeping your heart rate at about 70-80% of your maximum heart rate.
If you want to try something different, you could do interval training, which most newer treadmills have. Interval training has been showen to help people with their weight. With treadmills there will be variation.... One type will speed up or the other type will incline more... but the idea is that you would jog for 1 min and then sprint for 30 sec... (each machine is different) |

| | | at least 3 to see decent results. Also, to simulate outdoor running, you should put the treadmill at a 1% incline. |

| | Well if you want to work on your six pack, your going to have to loose fat not just weight, fat. It takes time, patience and consistency.
If you don't want to be on the treadmill that long but want to burn as much fat as possible look up HITT http://training.fitness.com/interval...ned-18503.html
You would also have to go on a calorie deficit of about 500 cals a day.
Also continue lifting weights and eat right to minimize muscle loss. |  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
