Just ran for 40 minutes ! Feeling awesome !

Running that much everyday is bad for the heart. Just saying.

Myth propagated by lazy asses.

Running is very hard on the body especially your joints.

Walking is a better option.

It's bad for the knees.

No shit, it's Forrest Gump.

Running is actually really hard on your body....

there are plenty of other effective workouts you can do in 30min. or less and get the same, or better, results.

and even if you think you can "eat whatever you want..."
it's a personal trainer adage that: you can't outrun your diet.
eventually it will catch up with you, in one way or another.

just because you keep your fat down your insides still suffer from the food you eat. :/

and imagine how amazing you'd look (and feel) if you ate healthy on top of all that exercise!

what are you credentials?

i never run and look fab, and feeeel even better than i look. :P (weight training>running)

many of the marathon running trainers i know are often injured, which means less exercise. Plus, they look sickly with absolutely zero muscle tone. :(
but again, they're always injured and sore.

I think running is great if it's your passion, but for most people a good cardio circuit and a little weight training goes much further.

Fab? You sound oh so gay.

As the saying goes, running is the punishment for your sport.

Don't feel bad if you can't hack it a lot of people settle for easier things.

True. Walking is far better for you. This kind of impact will catch up with you and will end up in Urgent Care or nursing a bad knee for the rest of your life, physical therapy etc. We all gonna die sometime, running will make no difference.

Four mile run every day ain't gonna hurt no one.

Well done OP.

:)

Just those joints.

It all depends. The major factor is weight. How much pressure are you putting on your joints.

I started running again. I have a dodgy knee and my new runners help allot with that.

I can do a mile as a smoker.

i like a bicycle. it does not hurt my knees as bad as running does. i like standing when pedaling uphill and into the wind. plus on the downhills you get to take a breather before the next climb. too old for running now. still like walking though.

swimming is my fav though and treading water and walking in water. my water workout can be pretty intense when i am up to it.

time you invest in a nice getaway car

easy there, homophobe. I'm not gay...i'm a girl...lol

It's a fact that running is hard on the body, sorry to burst your bubble. As I said, if it's your passion, then it's worth the risks. But if you're just trying to get fit and be in "good shape" there are more safe and effective ways....that are not necessarily "easier"
Try body building, it's not easy. It takes a lot of dedication and most people have a difficult time lifting as much weight as I can at 5' and 110 lbs. If we worked out together I cannot imagine you would use the word "easier" in regards to my workouts!! :P

swimming IS a fab workout. ;P

It's a low impact, highly effective, whole body workout!

run 4 hours a day...you will feel even better.in next world

yep, too bad i can't do it all year round. no indoor pools close by.

I wish I could do that.


I really really do.........


:)

OP, running for 40 minutes everyday may be good for you, but trust me, running for 41 minutes everyday is way better.

Get ready for the knee and hip joint replacement surgery years down the road.

keep running fatty.

I rode my bike instead today, Jogging, I feel it too much in the knees the next day, which was enough for me, hour ride on mountain roads is enough to crush you, I came home and crashed for three hours I was so tired. maybe only 6 miles, but in the mountains, it is a different ballgame.

Get a bike, smoother motion and all the cardio an muscle action you should need when combined with hiking and calisthenics,,, muscle memory trick and low impact.

rebounding is the exercise to do

the running will take a toll on the knees eventually OP

Running is not bad for the heart. Exercise strengthens the heart as long as you don't exceed your body's ability to repair, and 40 minutes is well within a doable range for most people. I have been jogging for over 10 years now.

Im gonna bust out my aggressive skates I bought, when I must of been having a midlife crisis. Im gonna where a hood, so I look twenty something. Im gonna get a Universal brake because the powerblade wheels and frames are just way too intense! They already gave me a Mortons Neuroma. Maybe it is actually time to hang up the boots and just call it a day.

just watch out for asshole dogs when biking or jogging at least around here. I coulda sworn the two that swarmed me today were gonna, get nasty. Seems if you yell "it's ok, It's okay", they back off b/c all dog owners say that.

Doing cardio exercises greater than 30 to 60 second BURSTS will AGE YOU FASTER and increase stressor hormones such as cortisol due to the stress on the body. High impact aerobics and long term running are bad for you, better to do BURST exercise as this releases GROWTH HORMONE ( keeps you young).
