How to Lose Weight Running in Place

How to Lose Weight Running in Place

Running in place mimics the motion that your legs make when jogging, activating many of the same muscle groups. This allows you to get an exercise similar to that of a brisk jog without ever leaving your home. According to Mark Lauren and Joshua Clark, authors of "You Are Your Own Gym," running in place will burn calories, and therefore fat, from your body if performed regularly. All you need to get started is some simple supplies and a few minutes of free time three to five days a week.

Instructions

    1

    Purchase a 5-lb. set of ankle weights to add an extra 2.5 lbs. to each leg while running in place. According to the American Council on Exercise, this will add more resistance to the exercise and increase the amount of calories you burn.

    2

    Bring your knees up as high as possible when you run in place. This makes your muscles work harder and increases the effectiveness of the movement.

    3

    Perform time drills three to five days a week. Use a stopwatch to track the amount of time that you can run in place. Continue running in place until you must stop to allow your muscles to rest. Look at the stopwatch and record the time. As your muscles strengthen, you will notice the amount of time increasing. According to Pat Manocchia, author of "Anatomy of Exercise," performing regular exercise drills will help you burn fat from your entire body.
