If you are looking for a simple but extremely effectiverunning routine that will help you build your cardiovascular endurance andshred pounds of fat from your body than simply follow the routine below and youwill get there in no time.

 

First of all, you have to start slow. If you've never run,are out of shape or over-fat and you take off down the road at high speedlooking to burn fat before you've built up your stamina up, you might riskinjury and take your training to a complete halt. Simply start with a walkingprogram for 2-4 weeks to build lower body endurance. Begin each walk at a lightto medium pace for about five minutes to get blood flowing through your body toallow your muscles to be properly warmed up for the workout to come. After theinitial 2-4week adaptation period, once you have properly established a baseconditioning, you may be at a place where you can shift into a light jog. Focuson your breathing and get into a rhythm and jog at a medium pace for aboutanother five minutes.

 

Once your muscles have been warmed up and your breathing isregular, take off into a light sprint working towards faster jog/sprints asyour weight drops and you begin to get into better shape. Jogging sprinting athigher speeds and at all-out intensity will do more for your cardiovascular andfat burning routine than just about anything else out there. No matter whatkind of shape you're in, you will probably only be able to do an all out sprintfor about 30 seconds or so. This is fine so, don't try to overdo it. Once youhave completed one jog/sprint combo, slip into a very slow walk/jog once againto allow your body time to recuperate. Once you have walked/jogged for anotherminute or so switch back to a jog/sprint for another 30 seconds. After about 10minutes of the sprint and jog intervals, your workout is just about complete.Slow down to a light jog, and then to a walk to allow your breathing tonormalize and your heart rate to come back to normal.

 

This simple workout described above should only take about30 to 35 minutes but far as fat burning is concerned, it will be one of themost effective routines you may ever do. Simply walk, jog, then run your way toyour fat loss goals.
