Well im 15 and i am getting into better shape so i can join our schools football team next year, well try out. I wanna start running/jogging in the morning like maybe around 5:30-6am because i have a busy day with work school etc.. So do you have any tips? I live in a a safe neighborhood so i don't have to worry about anything happening.
Answer
Get up and run, you don't need to eat anything before running, just get out there and do it.
I find it easier to run early so nothing during the day keeps me from running, and I feel much better after running.
It is cool in the summer and I enjoy watching the sun come up.

Will jogging on a treadmill help to lose my stomach fat?

Yes, I know you can't spot reduce or anything, and that your stomach fat is the last to come off, so I don't need a lecture on that lol. But I'm not able to go running in my area (not very safe for a teen girl in my neighborhood) :/ But overall will eating better and running/jogging on a treadmill help me to flatten out my stomach? Thanks!!
Answer
It's not that your stomach fat is the last to come off.. you lose the same amount of fat all over.. but it's just that people tend to have more fat on their stomach. You're losing stomach fat all the while, it just takes longer for it to go completely away because there's just more there than there is say.. on your arms or neck.
Running on the treadmill does help. I'm 17 and when I started out I was really out of shape. I could only run at 4mph for like.. 15 minutes! Now.. I run at 4.5mph for 50 minutes! 4.5mph because I'm short and have a small stride. I can run at 5mph just fine.. but for longer distances and times.. it's better for me to stay at 4.5mph. So.. yeah.. doing that.. I still lost fat. I did it 5 days of the week with a break day on thursday and sunday. I'm still doing it too but now I have a different routine. This was just back when I was doing purely cardio. I also have a completely clean diet and that's what's really helped me as well. It doesn't just take eating healthy.. there are healthy foods that still have chemicals in them and that are processed.. you need to eat clean. You can do some more research on this on your own. Also.. only drink water.. and a lot of it! All of this really helped me! I've noticed a huge difference in the past two months. I'm still doing cardio but I'm also building muscle now and it's really starting to show!
So yes. Running on the treadmill will help you. I'm someone who stores fat more in my love handles and not as much in my stomach.. but now my stomach is completely flat. I suggest doing some ab workouts as well. Look up the channel Blogilates on youtube.. she has a lot of great workouts! Flatter My Abs really hurts but it gets the job done! You can mix that in with your routine or you can do it through twice and have it be your ab routine. I really like that one.. all her other workouts are fantastic too. Plus she's really peppy and just fun to workout with!
Just stay diligent with your plan and don't slip up! Always make sure to fit your workout in everyday! Preferably when you wake up.. Be disciplined. I know it's summer.. but get up at 7:30.. eat a quick piece of fruit like a banana for energy (bananas are really good before workouts!) and just do it! If you have something happening early in the day.. wake up earlier! I had drivers ed for a week starting at 8am so I got out of bed at 5:30am to do a full workout and still have time to shower! Don't slip up with eating healthy either. Give yourself one cheat day each week... but only allow one. Just stay on track!
I hope this helped! Good luck!
EDIT: Make sure you're jogging for 30 to 50 minutes! That's how long your heart rate has to be up to burn fat. I personally usually go for 40. The treadmill can get really boring so sometimes I bring the iPad down to the basement and watch Netflix while I run but lately I've just been making a really good playlist of all my upbeat songs and just having a dance party on the treadmill lol. Just do what keeps you entertained! I also like to just think about things.. like things that I want to do or things that I'm planning or something. I'm working on this really amazing project of my own in my garage this summer so I think about all the cool things I can add to that. Just do what you gotta do!
