Stretch before and after you run. I would suggest eating a little bit before running, especially since you just fasted for 8 hours. Good warm up: stretch, fast walk, run

gmc007420 is absolutely right! I would also add an eliptical, stairmaster and other resistance/cardio to your regime. Any exercise plan should also include diet modification. Cut down-but not OUT-carbs. Make sure you get plenty of electrolytes in your system. Check out nutritional suppliments like Glucosamine/Chondroytan, B complex, potassium, these are important for keeping the machine running while you tryto fine tune it! Good luck.

My field is in fashion, as a result many people ask me how they can slim down. My answer is always the same: good diet and exercise. But I found this great product which I think helps a lot in the process. I recommend you check this website , they have a free trial and you only pay 6.95$ shipping and handling. Good luck!

OK, ther’re a few questions here need tackiling……I’ll go one by one……
To get fast results:
-Exercise at higher intensity level, so you crank up higher metabolic rate, to burn more calories. Running, jogging, biking, swimming are considered high intensity exercises
-Incorporate strength-training with weights into your cardio routine, to boost muscle growth. As muscle is metabolically active, the more muscle you’ve, the higher your metabolic rate, the more calories you burn. Try to strength-train 3-4 times per week, for at least 15 mins per session
-Eat a healthy, weight loss, nutritious, well-balanced diet that’s bank on lots of fruits & veges (rich sources of vitamins & minerals), fiber, lean protein, good fat, carbohydrates in moderate amount and drink plenty of water.
Good warm up exercises:
-Stretching exercises
-Marching in place is a very simple and convenient warm up exercise. Just start slow for 1-2 min, then increase tempo gradually in the next 3 mins or until your body warmed up
-Or any other exercises that get your heart rate pump up and literally make your body warmer
Run before or after breakfast?
Preferably, you should run before breakfast.
This is because if you run right after taking a full breakfast, blood goes to the working muscle and away from the intestines where food is being digested. In this way, food will not be processed properly and if you eat too much protein (which takes 24 hrs to digest), you’ll feel sluggish, fatigued, slightly nauseated or heavy feeling when you exercise.
If you really must eat, choose light meal that contains carbohydrates (like wholemeal bread) and water/fuit juice.
Warming up stretches
These can be done before and after the cardio
