How often do I have to run to burn fat?

[branmcc1220]

Well obviously from the question I'm just trying to burn those few couple pounds of fat away from my stomach to burn fat and have more definition on my abs so how often do I have to run on either the elliptical or treadmill I have in my basement? and how long each time I run as well? And any other tips you have would be greatly appreciated!

If you run 20-45 minutes every day you will burn fat constantly given that your diet is reasonable.

The idea is you want to elevate your heart rate to about 126+ BPM, the threshold where you are burning fat as fuel. If you can sustain this level of intensity for extended periods of time, fat will melt off. Doing jumping jacks might help an obese person lose weight, but for a fit person, there are more efficient exercises you can do. Also, don't fall for the sauna suit trick.

The name of the game is burning fat. The key to burning fat is doing intense exercises and elevating your heart rate. A sauna suit just makes you sweat more. That's water weight.

You should get a sauna suit,that helps you shred pounds fat.Do jumping jacks for cardio.Jog for about 30 minutes and try not to stop to gain endurance then you should sprint as fast as you can for about 5 minutes.You actually do loose weight by just running unlike jokersgirl said , I'm in crosscountry I should know.Make sure you stretch ,eat right ,lots of proteing try to leave pop and juices .Try going all water.

Thanks! For the sauna suit part, would wearing a hoodie and sweatpants or something similar work just as well when running?

[Jaimelamour]

It won't be as successful as with a sauna suit,because even walking with a sauna suit makes your body sweat like crazy because its plastic and created humidity in your body,Just buy one at walmart theyre like 12 bucks .And to loose more put a sweater and sweat pants on too make sure you stay hydrated.

running alone will not make you lose weight, you need to do cardio and weights as well

Jogging won't tone you up , try doing situps everyday

Well not necessarily tone up but just burn the couple extra pounds
