Question 1

is jogging a good way to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Jogging is a good way to lose weight, as long as one doesn't eat a lot of snacks, energy bars, nor drink sugared drinks while jogging. Weight will only be lost if the calories burned during jogging exceeds the calories eaten or drank by the jogger. Jogging is a medium impact sport and is good for people who don't get knee, ankle, or foot pains with running.

Question 2

is jogging a fast way to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Diet and exercise: Jogging and exercise will certainly help with weight loss but 1 mile of jogging is about equal to 100 cal most of the time. It takes 3500 cal to lose 1 pound of fat so you can see that jogging 35 miles is a very slow way to lose your weight. Couple that with a good diet and lifestyle changes and you will be successful in the long run.

Question 3

how can i motivate myself to start jogging to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Set reasonable goals: You are halfway there just by asking this question. Recognizing that you want to take action is an important first step. Start off slowly and don't get discouraged if it seems to take longer than you initially thought it would. Push your self mentally, but do not overdo it physically. An injury early in your workout regimen can create long-term issues. Good luck!

Question 5

how long its takes before you start losing weight when you jogging?

Accepted Answer

It Depends!: Weight loss only occurs if your caloric intake is less than output. In other words, you burn more gas than you put in.  If you have started a running program but not changed your diet, you may never lose weight.  Every day that your output (daily expenditure plus exercise) is bigger than input, you will lose some weight.  String a bunch of days together and you will notice the difference.
