Sounded interesting so I did a little research.

I'm not bashing any form of exercise so to each their own but here is what I gathered.

Jumping rope is not a beginners exercise as crazy as that sounds and to get to the speed required to jump rope to burn equivalent running calories is going to take a while and its pretty advanced.

So if you are a novice and neither run or jump rope you will burn more calories running for the same amount of time.

Rowing does not burn more calories than running but it does have other ancillary muscle building benefits running does not. I have recently started doing some rowing during my core workouts.

You will burn calories using a rowing machine, but not as many as when running. According to the American Council on Exercise, a 150-pound person burns approximately 158 calories in 30 minutes rowing at a moderate pace, but burns 181 calories in the same amount of time running at a pace of 5 miles per hour.
And as far as HIIT goes, you can do those type of workouts running.

The main and most important thing is to find an activity whether its running, biking, rowing, or jumping rope, that you enjoy because you will most likely stick to it. If you like more than 1 and can mix it up its probably even better.I used to play a lot of racquetball when I was in my 20's.

A lot is going to depend on your starting physical fitness level, running and jumping rope may not be an option early, maybe its cycling.

From a simplicity standpoint and bang for the buck, its hard to beat running though.

My $.02.

I've had that happen a lot. I'll be way below my calories intake goals. Worked out for days straight and I weigh..... up 3 lbs. :eek:

The next day or the day after its gone along with the actual weight I've lost. Everything I've read says its just water weight.

The only way you can lose or gain several pounds in a day or 2 is water weight.

I am sure its covered here somewhere but 1lb of body weight (fat, muscle) is about 3500 calories so the only way you are actually losing something other than water weight (or gaining for that matter) is the calorie in and calorie out so it would take a 7000cal swing over a few days to make a 2 lb difference either way.

**** jogging do HIIT, Kettlebell workouts, stairs or hills. With that said you can't outwork your diet.

I started out jogging on a treadmill. Was slowly working my way up to longer distances. I discovered that walking at a near jogging pace with a high incline burns more calories for me without the stress on my knees.

As for me - my weekend went ok. I wasn't planning to worry about going over my 2,020 calories as long as I didn't go overboard. I stayed a lot closer to my goal than I assumed I would. Weighed myself this morning and I was at 220.8 down from 225 last week.

I try to not weigh myself very often because not seeing it change or seeing it go the wrong direction doesn't help. I'm shooting for once a week.

Nice. That's a big deficit.

I average 1500 calories six days a week and then have one larger day that brings the average up to about 1800 calories (if I hit it). There is some evidence that structuring it this way helps avoid or slow down some of the metabolic slowdowns that happen with chronic calorie deficits. We'll see.

I was at 600 calories yesterday, so a little over. Weighed in at 218.8 this morning.

I hung a couple slab doors on Friday that we’re probably 75 or 80lbs apiece, so the strength is starting to come back. I’ve got about 95% range of motion back in my neck so I’m hoping to get the OK to start driving again as well.

It’s easier for me to eat better throughout the day if I get a morning workout in.
Oh okay - I didn't know of your injury - glad you're okay!

Interesting. I looked into this a while back, and don't recall my sources, but while I did find mixed results for running vs rowing, I came away with the impression that rowing would be slightly more burn than running. On a quick search, I can find a number of sites that indicate that, but also quite a few that contradict it. Both good beginner exercises, for sure. For my money, I'd go rowing, simply because it's easier on the body. I'm also old, though, lol.

Good post.

Running is great until you blow out your knees

So are most things, lol. I play a ton of beach volleyball, and am dealing with jumper's knee (patellar tendonitis) right now, and it sucks large. I need to take 4-6 weeks off, but that's almost impossible for me - I'd go stir crazy.

yeah man - the fun of growing older - I suppose it beats the alternative :)

my fitness pal says l should at or below 2509 calories a day to lose 2 lbs a week. That doesn’t count any exercise.
