Does running make you skinnier?

Question

Just wondering. and how much should i run a day?

Answer 1

umm wow. im sry but that was a dumb question! of course running makes u skinny unless u eat so much that u never lose any.

Answer 2

well if you want to stay skinny just do leg lifts (for your abs), don't do sit ups cause that would mess up your back, or run and do leg lifts i would go with that if i would want to be skinny

Answer 3

it will tone your body so if your super skinny then it will give you nice muscle

and if your fat then it will slim you down

Answer 4

umm that's kinda the point of doing it...if it didn't have that appeal not as many people would do it.

Answer 5

it will make you skinner by burning off  more calories than you eat. running works on all of your muscles. i run in the morning at night for 5 miles but you can choose what works best for you. :)

Answer 6

No

it sure doesnt

I have been running for almost 4 years.

I almost wanted to join the olympics

but i actually gained 30 pounds!

Running is a *****

Answer 7

it helps get rid of fat and tones muscles, so for some people, it can make you more slender

Answer 8

running would probably make your legs full of muscles. and if you are trying to get fit, walk 30 minutes a day. but don't do it to get thin.

Answer 9

Well it is a form of exercise, so it has the potential to make you skinnier. How much skinnier? I don't know! It depends on the following factors=> How much skinnier do you want to be? How much time are you able to spend running?

How fast do you plan to loose the weight?

Are you planning to run only or do you plan to incorporate other weight loss techniques?

The point is I don't know how much running you need to do, but I do know that the exercise will not hurt. So, run, walk, skip jump just move your body! :I

Answer 10

no!!!

Answer 11

No, running clearly makes you fatter...

Answer 12

yes it does

but only if you do it regularly

running one day will not help

Answer 13

yea because its an excercise

Answer 14

It does. It burns calories. Run a mile and a half every day and you'll see results (maybe have a diet too)

Answer 15

it makes you lighter

Answer 16

yes cause u burn calories and u sould run aprox 2 hours a day.

Answer 17

It gets you a fit, healthy-looking, s**y body :D lol

Answer 18

it can...if you burn more calories than you intake.....try running 3 miles a day, 4-5 days a week

Answer 19

yeah it does, but you also can't eat a lot or there's no point of running. U burn calories off by running and u don't want to gain them back and u want to run at least a mile a day to keep in shape or do some kind of workout

Answer 20

yes it makes you skinnier, you should run about 5 miles every other day depending on your age

Answer 21

what i would recommend is a trampoline! 5 minutes on a trampoline is like 30 minutes of running!!!!

Answer 22

you should run at LEAST a mile a day. it can make you skinner i suppose. but it makes yer heart stonger :)

Answer 23

yes and it keeps you healthy

Answer 24

yes, but you need to run everyday for a long time and control your diet, you should run as much as you can and sweat out a lot

Answer 25

Absolutely, it burns off calories thus causing you to lose excess fat. A minimum 30 minutes of cardio per day is recommended.

Answer 26

Yes.  It can speed up your metabolism and make you burn calories.  But I think weight resistance training can make you lose weight, too.  Especially for girls.  A lot worry that they will build big muscles, but that is actually difficult to do.  It can really tone you up and make you look good.  For best results, do a cardio exercise like running and also weight training.  Speak to somebody that knows about this stuff so that you do it right and avoid injury.  Either ask someone who knows, read some books, or hire a personal trainer for a little while.

Answer 27

no it makes you fatter.  dont run at all if you want to be skinny.
