Question Posted Sunday April 9 2006, 6:02 am

Hey man, I'm the same person who wrote the "30 min/day = skinny?" question. What about running for 30 minutes everyday, would that help? The things is, I only have 60 days until I see him-- and I only have 30 minutes a day to spare for working out (or occassionally 1 hour, like on sundays) so is there ANYTHING i can do, for 30 minutes a day, for 60 days, that will make me skinny? I dont have a bike, and my father wont let me go to the gym. So would running work? Please take this question seriously, because I'm desperate..to be confident, and like myself, and to show him that Ive grown, I feel like I NEED to be skinny. So please help.

Thank you for your time :)

Well first off you already have committed mistake No.1 in your quest for a better body- doing it for someone else and not yourself. I'm telling you that if you constantly criticize and worry about what others think then you are going to fail at your attempt and be very very disappointed. If you want to take this seriously then you're going to have to learn how to channel these emotions to a positive attitude and not have them just weigh you down which I guarantee they will. Lead by example in your actions and your lifestyle and not your appearance because looks are deceiving- the person with the best abs and glutes is sometimes the person who isn't healthy at all- the two are not always interchangable. Work at making yourself HEALTHY above all and the appearance will come later on when you are ready and learn how to channel these emotions. Just the fact that you are taking your health seriously is an example enough that you've "Grown" and if he can't appreciate that and respect that- then what the hell do you care what he thinks anyway? It's your body and you are your body's guardian- not it's prisoner. It's great that you want to get into all of this- but you are doing it for the wrong reasons and once you start to realize what exactly the right reasons are then you are ready to begin this lifestyle.

As far as your question goes about running- No again. It really doesn't matter whether you walk to run- your body burns the same amount of calories if the distances are equal. So if you run a mile- you have bruned around 100 calories- if you walk 1 mile- you still have burned about 100 calories. Running just helps to kickstart the metabolism in a better way but I never really run because it bores me. For cardio work I prefer to do the Stairmaster and I think you should too once you can get to a gym. Walk or run it really doesn't matter- they are both just little pieces of an even bigger puzzle to making a healthy lifestyle and not a fad.
