Well I do Leslie Sansone videos via YouTube and get a good burn I did 4 miles yesterday and burned 610 calories (HRM) I like it because you can do it in your home.

Any movement is good movement, you don't have to physically travel to burn calories. Put lots of energy into however you decide to move and you'll burn calories

In for stories.

MFP grossly overestimates calorie burn. Unless you have a heart rate monitor for a more accurate number, I'd take the real figure to be half, so 166.

One of the proudest days of my life was completing a jog-in-place marathon. I now have a 26.2 sticker on the back of my car, and reference my race pace in every. single. post. on MFP.

^^This and
I wouldn't put too much faith in the Calories burned number though. Like others have mentioned use a heart rate monitor, or don't eat back all the exercise cals.

My running story : I ran a lot as a teen/young adult training for sports, now 17 years later I didn't feel ready to run again. I ran in place slowly building up until I could keep it up for 20 minutes. In June I started running outside again and run 3 5ks a week now and thinking of making one longer!

Happy running

I'm sure you can... But that would probably get old really fast imo.

I've done Leslie videos, and wii fit jogging where I can turn the tv to something good while jogging. Or you can jog in place on a treadmill. But all of those bore me quickly.

I tried a running in place routine before, but I never got anywhere by doing it.

I want to know more success stories. I lost 5lb and it triggered me becoming more active. Then I went from that to the treadmill and outdoor running. Another poster was right, at least for me, it does get quite boring FAST. I prefer going outside or hitting a track as to the treadmill or just jogging in place. You will burn calories as long as you put in effort and try.

GOOD LUCK!

Why jog in place when you can jog forward?

I'm a stay at home parent with a husband in the military that can work odd hours or not be home for a period of time, so most of my exercises are things I can do in the house while keeping an eye/ear on our daughter. My main form of cardio has been jogging in place since the end of January. I usually do 45-60 minutes a day, 5 days a week, while watching something on TV - aka the toddler's naptime. :laugh: I've only lost 15 lbs since I started jogging in place, but you can see the change in my stomach in my profile picture. (I also stay at/below my daily calorie goal and incorporate other exercises into my day usually, but the jogging in place helps me net 8,000+ steps a day and burn a couple hundred calories)

Try it out for awhile, and if you like it and see a difference keep at it! :flowerforyou:

Thankyou for your lovely replies.. To the person who asked why jogging in place?
well... I prefer doing my workouts at home and my home is not to big that i can jog around.. Thats why:)

I don't know why anyone would want to jog in place for 45 minutes. Can anything be more boring? I bet no one does it either more than say, once.

If you don't want to go outside to exercise, you could try this quite strenuous exercise. PROSTRATIONS. These are good to do when you can't leave the room/house.

Look them up on a video to see how its done. The tibetan buddhists do them for religious reasons.

20 minutes of these is about 100 if i remember correctly. That's a lot and a good workout quite similar to jogging. Put a cushion down where you'd get on your knees.

Well, considering I do it 5 days a week most weeks, you lose that bet. Feel free to pay up whenever! :laugh:

I find running outside about as stimulating as watching paint dry. It just isn't my thing, even with music. At least I can get sucked into a good show or movie when I'm working out in my living room and forget about the time. (I also can't use weather or time as an excuse either)

People should find something they enjoy doing, instead of trying to do something they hate. It's much easier to do the fun exercises!

would consider some other stuff too to do at home then, like body weight exercises, some of the blogilites videos can be done in really small spaces and loads of hiit free videos on you tube to do at home just for a start

keishakylejohnson

Wii fit, fitbit, get something that can track your running in place That may help ya. LOL to the running in place, but not getting anywhere.. Priceless lol :P

There are tons of options for small spaces that are better than running in place. Burpees, squats, box jumps, the list goes on. Also, just get a treadmill! And as far as keeping an eye on your kid, that what they make fitness strollers and bikes for.

I stop at intersections and jog in place so that cars can pass. I consider it pretty important since it keeps me alive.
