For those that have added running to their cardio

[sue320]

how many days per week (and distance) were you running before you saw slimming in the lower body?

TIA!

Just added running about a week ago, so I am not much help to ya. I can let you know in about a month though. I can tell you that I feel like I have achieved something after running, but then I get that feeling after any Imax, Step blast, or Cathe kickbox. Running is just something new to me right now and I like it because I can get by myself and think. It is just my time to myself with my thoughts and no distractions. Have you started running yet? Maybe we can compare notes in a month. I currently run about 2 miles in about 20 min. I plan to up that to 30 min. and I will have to see what the distance is on that. I hope to be at about 3 miles. Good luck to you.

I run 4 days (total mileage 40-50K a week) but I've never seen any slimming of the lower body unless I pay attention to my food.

Lower Body training does help tighten things up and lifting my butt.

I havent seen any slimming in the lower body with running either. I have been running for almost two years. I dont run as many miles as dutchie . I usually run anywhere between 15-22miles a week . I plan on increasing my mileage this training season. I wish it would slim down the lower body,that is where I need it.

i believe before xmas i was doing 3 day a week 6miles a day. also at that time i was watching what i ate. i wanted to fuel my body correctly while still getting the right amount of calories(and being good so that i can cheat at holiday dinners , so my eating habits played a major role in that as well.
