How much weight will you lose if you run a mile do sit ups and push ups and Fluidity every day?

Answer 1

Fluidity is just another trendy commercial exercise regimen. It's not any more effective than any other comparable form of exercise, but it may give beginners an idea of where to start if you do not have much experience doing exercise. But be aware, much like Chuck Norris probably does a lot more than just work out with the TotalGym and Tony Little more than just the Gazelle, the paid actors and actresses you see advertising it do much more than the Fluidity regimen.

Now to address your question: a mile is not very far to run, particularly if you are looking to lose weight. Aerobic exercise is key to losing weight, push-ups and sit-ups will not help you much in that area. They will add muscle tone and form and are highly recommendable, but they won't burn much fat.

If you are running to lose weight, you should jog at a slow pace (slow enough that you can carry on a mild conversation). This ensures that you are burning fat as opposed to muscle protein which gets burned if you are running fast and the time it takes fat to be liberated for use is not available.

The good news if you cannot run more than a mile is that walking actually burns close to as many calories as running (yes, really) but doesn't have as many cardiovascular benefits. Try running then walking three miles every other day, increasing your running distance by 1/4 mile each week or two until you can run the full three. The weight will start coming off, but losing more than 2 lbs in a week is inadvisable.

You can make your weight loss more efficient by cutting back on food intake. DO NOT SKIP MEALS, just practice portion control and AVOID SNACKING.
