I WANNA RUN! BUT I DON"T WANNA RUN!

[MigAce312]

I wanna run and lose some body fat. The problem is I HATE RUNNING. Anyone know any good motivators for running or good running routines? Thanks.

Try walking down a really steep hill.

If you want to run 2 miles, have a friend drop you off 2 miles away from home. You can run, or walk if you want, but you'll still end up doing 2 miles.

No one ever said that you have to run the entire time. You can walk part of the way and run the rest. This is a pretty good jumping off point. Text The forums there are pretty active, too if you have any questions.

How do you feel about low-weight/high-rep workouts? Far better for burning fat, and you get to tone up in the process. Running is great cardiopulmonary, but hard on the knees and hips, and only a mild fat-burner.

Put on some fun, upbeat music. That always does it for me!

run only two days a week, walk one day a week ... or you can try rowing machine, too expensive? maybe invest in boxing bag then ...

buy a viscious dog that will kill you if it catches you... then tie a steak to your butt...

that will make you run
