If you were doing a majority of your runs on a treadmill, you might want to shorten your outdoor runs a little to adjust. The mechanics of running on a treadmill and actually pushing yourself forward are different, You also don't have the give/cushion on pavement that you do on a treadmill. You could try to find a trail or…

I'm pretty sure most saunas I have seen have warnings telling you not to exercise in there. 130 degrees for a while is OK for you, but if you are exerting yourself extra in that kind of temperatures you are on your way to overheating/heat injury.

Congrats. It's definitely an accomplishment when you lose another person worth of weight. I'm sure your body appreciates it, keep it up.

Anything extra you do outside your daily routine is going to burn calories, even a leisurely stroll requires your body to burn calories to fuel your movement.

A lot of Coheed and Cambria songs fit my running rhythm perfectly. Also a big fan of Atreyu (Becoming the Bull is very motivating!)

I usually drink one after a workout so I am usually already thirsty. If it makes you thirsty, drink more water. Maybe it's your body saying "Hydrate."

Like dragon said, P90X only has one really high impact workout "Plyometrics." Insanity has high impact moves in most of the workouts, so if you have knee issues I would definitely go P90. The only bad part about that program is you need extra gear; pullup bar, bands/weights, yoga mat, mop and bucket (for sweat).

I have a pair of Urban Ears "Medis," they are a little pricey but not as bad as some others. They sound good and even after sweating a lot and running hard I don't have a problem with them coming out.

The "rooster sauce" is called Sriracha. It is my favorite.

I got mine from Amazon for $150 with the HRM. Very few are water proof (but water resistant enough for rain, or a someone who sweats a lot), battery is built in and mine is good for around 10 hours per charge.

I have a Forerunner 305, I got a couple years ago. I wear it every time I run, I also have an app on my phone but it is a lot easier to wear something on my wrist. It also came with a heart rate monitor and training software. Keeping track of my progress over time is very motivational.

It's definitely a great workout, but as someone else posted there is a lot of high impact movements involved. If you are decently fit with no knee/joint problems I would recommend it.

You have to watch the cholesterol content in a lot of protein mixes as well.

I've been running off and on for about a year, but only started working on real improvement for the past few months. I usually do at least 3 miles 4 days a week, one interval/speed day, and a longer run of 6+ miles. And make sure you leave at least one day for rest.

I would try P90X, you will need some equipment though. Other than warmup jumping jacks there is only one workout (Plyometrics) that requires a lot of jumping.

If you want to build muscle, you need to do fewer reps with more weight, think 6-8 reps.
