Great article here. I agree to both paramjit and calista. It depends if you’re passionate about it. It’s a matter of dedication and discipline.

I guess it just comes down to your purpose of running . If you are absolutely passionate about it, don’t stop. On the other hand, if you are looking for better use of your exercise time, consider strength training and interval training. Interval training is a more advanced form of cardio training.

Running is still the best for me. I really love running, I’ve been doing it for so many years right now. It helped me lose my weight and made me more active and more healthy than ever!

A lot of people love to run. I love to run but I do intervals which really give me a kick. People who do long distance running get a runner’s high due to the release of dopamine. There are health benefits but just don’t expect it to help you shed fat on your belly.

Resistance training means weight training which can be done with machines, free weights or even with your body weight. Examples are push ups/ squats, etc. If you are trying to lose your belly by jogging, you are going to be disappointed. The research clearly shows this. How can I help clarify this for you?

hey Paramjit.. very informative blog of yours is very helpful. have been doing weight training for around 3 years.. been seeing how my body shape changes through this years. though far from the perfect hourglass body shape, this is enough to convince me that weight training is the way to go to change our body shape. more have to be done to dispel the negative view most women have about weight training and becoming bulky.

Hi Jane. Thanks for the feedback. Yes research does seem to point toward strength and resistance training as the key to a better body shape. Would like to hear from you about your experience starting with resistance training. It could motivate other women.
