I would suggest this, pick something like a seven eleven that’s a decent distance away from where you live and take two dollars with you in cash (if you take a card or anything higher like a twenty you may be tempted to buy too much junk food) when you get to the seven eleven buy yourself a Gatorade or some water and drink it either on the way back from the store or at the store. This gives you a real and tangible goal with an immediate tangible reward. It also gives you something to focus on while running. You’re able to think to yourself “just one more mile and I’ll be able to get that drink of Gatorade (or water whatever you prefer)” it also helps you keep hydrated when you’re running. I do this all the time and I find that it makes running seem less like work but more like running an errand. Also, I whole heartedly agree with PHP, take some music with you when you run, something fast paced because sub-consciously your mind will want to sink your running pace with the music’s pace and consciously it to will give you something more to take your mind from the task of running.

I am not an avid runner at all but I ran 6 miles about two weeks ago out of nowhere. I swear against treadmills because they offer no real variability and they also make you misjudge your speed. Running outdoors would improve you results overall.

That said, my motivation when I run is the fact that I know people are watching. I want to be the guy that everyone is in awe about. I can tell everyone that I ran 6 miles. I want to be superman and every guy wants that. I know that I can achieve my ’superman’ when I work at it, running. I got a really bad knee after the 6 mile run but I knew that I could force through it because I was ’superman’ and I ran 2-3 miles the next week. I know that everyone that drives by is thinking, "I should probably run like that guy.." I like to be that guy and that keeps me going. You gotta be egotistical sometimes. (And the music that makes your body tingle when you hear it works wonders when you are pushing yourself past your limit)

My two mottos:
Live life the red bull way.
Pain is weakness leaving the body. (

Good music (if you’re using a treadmill) or a good route with nice views. I improve my motivation by having a calorie-burning goal, as opposed to a time or intensity goal, and think in terms of knocking off the big chunks of fat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3d2VnhAYLA

I’ve been doing a lot of brisk walking instead of running. I find it’s a lot easier at first, and over time and as your health improves, you kind of naturally want to start going faster or burn more calories, so sometimes you end up running. Took me two weeks to work out the details about needing better shoes and underwear; now I feel so comfortable I think I’m going to end up running more since it’s more efficient.

I have found that by doing HITT cardio it breaks the running up into time sgments and makes it pass quicker (mentally) as you are always counting minutes… l use 5 minute blocks, 3 minutes of 70-75% heart rate, 2 minutes of 90% or as close to it as I can get, then back to 3 mins of 75%, you are so busy watching for the time change that the 30 minutes passes in a flash. You only want to be doing 30 mins of HIIT at a time anyway which helps as well…

I agree with MAGL "experts my ass"
You need to lift enough that you don’t lose too much of the muscle you have. As long as you are in a calorie deficit, you are not going to get bigger from lifting.
Muscle burns calories 24/7.
Cardio burns calories when you are doing it.
Stay STRONG and most of all STAY SAFE!!

it depends on your goals. If its weight loss then lifting and cardio are both important. Id say lifting is important whatever your fitness goals are but for weight loss, 15 reps and 30 second rest periods would probably be best

experts my ass. 3 key things in fitness:

1. Nutrition
2.Weights
3.Cardio

Unless your genetically build to grow fast and you dont have to worry about what you eat, you wont have to worry about getting big. Keep at it. Your doing it right so far.

Kenneth, I didn’t see your response that said you are trying for only 1500 cals. That is definitely NOT enought for an active guy!! You probably need at least 1000 cals of protein. When I started 3 and a half years ago, I was 185lbs with a 36 inch waist. I was put on a 2000 cal diet, but now I am @162 lbs with a 31 inch waist and up to 3000 cals a day for maintenance!!!! Over the last 3 years I have put on a lot of muscle, and therefore can eat MORE!!!
