Question
QUESTION: i am jogging for 1 hr, and doing weght training for 30 min, for weight loss, should i continue with this , can one run 6 days a week for weght loss, and for how many min should one run, is it advisable to run 1 hr 6 days a week for weight loss.

ANSWER: It is very good. 6 days is great for weight loss and getting in shape. Also 1 hour is good, as the body does not start to burn fat until atleast 30 minutes of exercise. Before that time, it burns sugar.

please advice what kind of weight training sshould i do to avoid bulk in my body.

waiting for your reply, also people suggest that regular running is not good for health.

Answer
Hi again,

As far as lifting, you should do light weights with a high number of repetitions. This will tone your muscles and create longer, thinner muscles instead of large bulky ones like bodybuilders. Lift after running, but you only need lift 3 days a week.
