Running is the greatest cardio you can do for weight loss. Shorter runs work better for weight loss than long elliptical sessions. Actually, that's the only reason I run, when I do, because when I'm starting out I find it quite unpleasant. It always thins out my legs and makes me lose weight faster than anything.

I used to do running as training when I was younger and I was quite good at it so I guess its still in me but it was hard though. very hard. I have to keep at it. I know this is going to help me tone and lose fat and I cant wait to see the results!
