Im 22, male and wouldnt say im over weight, but a little out of shape. Ive started jogging 3 days a week for approx 45 minutes. would you say this is effective for weight loss? I have a good diet and my calorie intake is average, im looking to lose a bit of weight around midriff and chest area. will this help do you think? also how long do you think it would take me to lose about a stone with this plan? thanks

So long as your sweating and working you 're doing more than you would be if you were sitting at home. 3 days a week is a good start but make sure you also concentrate on your caloric intake. Depending on your weight it will generally take someone about 2-3 months to lose 1 stone of fat. Not just weight, because you will be gaining muscle while your at it.
