Just ensure that you eat a healthy well balanced diet, with plenty of lean proteins. If you are worried about getting to slim then do some weight training to build the muscles a little. This will give you a better shape. Jogging will certainly strengthen your legs. Just ensure that you eat a healthy well balanced diet, with plenty of lean proteins.

Generally in the first month of jogging you are increasing your leg muscles and improving your cardiovascular system. As you get fitter, you will start to lose weight. Keep going, and hoping in another 4 weeks you will see improvements.

Just make sure that you push yourself harder each time. Run for longer, run faster, do more sun salutations! Yes Lena, exercising 4-5 times a week will certainly get you fit.

I also do 60 minutes of power yoga 2 to 4 times a week. Due to my schedule I'm only able to jog on weekends. Do you believe this regime is enough to help me lose weight and become fit? Hi,

People generally start to see the most gains from the 2nd and 3rd months as their bodies get used to the training and the running muscles start to strengthen. Stick with it.

You are certainly not doing too much. Keep plugging away. Maybe start adding in some extra laps, increasing your daily run to 3 miles. Also the first walked lap could be a slow jog too. Sounds like you are doing a great job, so keep up the good work. Hi Chris,

I do have a few questions though. I am on a strict regime as far as running is concerned and I run 2 miles everyday and walk a half mile. I start out with a few leg stretches and walk the first lap (1/4 mile). Proceeding my first walked lap, I run 8 laps (2 miles) and finish with a brisk walk around the track (1/4 mile). Am I running too much? Secondly, I don't always run at the same times. Sometimes it's in the morning and sometimes it is in the night. Should I have a more strict time frame when I run? Lastly, I time myself when I run and I'm clocking in doing 2 miles under 20 minutes. Is that good? I really enjoyed the informative video on proper jogging techniques.

I started jogging to help me lose weight. I am fitter and leaner and dropping around 3 or 4 lbs a week along with a diet. When I first started everybody told me that jogging messes up your knees and reading online alot of websites state that jogging doesn't help you to lose weight. I'm burning more calories than i'm eating so how can it not? I feel better than I have felt in a long time and I often get the 'runners high' afterwards when I feel great. I sometimes run in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon depending on my work pattern and only for about 30 minutes 4 times per week. I would recommend jogging if you are physically capable of doing so. It will be hard at first but start off slowly and keep at it and you will reap the rewards and look forward to your running.

I felt like my heart would burst out my chest afterwards. But i jogged today again,and felt much better. Its a routine i think i am loving already. I jog first thing in the morning, well ...after my prayer session, so its still pretty early, and it works for me too. I wasnt doing any warm up exercises, but i will start with the stretches i read in your article. One more thing? Is it bad if i jog everyday of the week? i only started jogging yesterday,for 10 mins.
