Allright, I used to lift weights basically every other day for about 45 mins or so but after reading up on health a bit I learned that if you have extra body fat you can still lift weights but you won't necessarily see the 'cut/ripped' look that's desired because it's under the layer of fat. So instead of lifting I have been running a mile and walking another mile every night instead because running is in my opinion the best way to burn fat which I need to do first and then after I burn the fat I will go back to lifting. So I had a few questions, first off since now I am running everyday basically is that good for me to run everyday or should I take a break in between days? I know it's not good to lift everyday because you need to give your muscles a day or so to heal and I'm wonderin if it's the same situation with running? And secondly I would like to know if there are any other ways of burning fat well besides running? I like to run so I will stay with that for now but I'm just curious. And lastly, I used to drink a protein shake everytime after lifting so my body doesn't eat away on the muscles I have and should I still continue to drink the protein shake after with running also? I still do as of now. Don't know if this is important or will help any but I'm 5"10 and I weigh 170 : P
thanks in advance
