Re: RUNNING TIPS TO LOSE WEIGHT FAST

Running in-fact is a great exercise. Obviously it works your legs, but it also is a good core workout and minor workout for your shoulders/upper back (due to repetitive arm motion). By building up muscle your body burns more calories even while sitting. It takes more calories to sustain muscle on your body than fat.

What sports do you do for the thrill rush?

guest — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 14:12:59 GMT

Endurance sports are great for the personal challenge but mostly come down to you overcoming pain and trudging on. Team sports are great for the competitive spirit where your teammates are counting on you to perform. For me, I live for the adrenaline rush. Other than running and the fitness sports, for excitement I used to compete slalom water skiing, go wakeboarding, rock climbing and I want to get into kite-boarding. What sports do others do for the rush?

Re: How do you acclimate for running in the heat?

Up here in Connecticut we have just hit a heat wave as well. When it heats up I do two things to get my body acclimated:

1. Slow down

2. Run longer

If you run slower you can run longer before you're shot. Keep hydrated so you can keep sweating to cool yourself. If you stop sweating all of a sudden take a break, rehydrate and cool down. Basically it all just takes time in the heat and you'll be good to go.
