I’ve got a question for fat loss. I’ve always been able to run as much as I want (while I was trying to stay in shape that is) but now I am not able to run on the ground for extended periods of time. I have compartment syndrome which prohibits me from abusing my shins too much…

Being overweight and trying to run with these shins is 10x worse than I ever remember while I was in shape…so the question is, if I run 1 mile (10 min) is this even doing any good for weight loss or should I just stick to 45 min workouts on the eliptical??

EDIT: The running on the street was never going to replace the other workouts at the gym…I’m just wondering if the supplemental workouts (street runs) are worth the pain.

Cardio is one of the best weight loss activities- why don’t you run on a more forgiving surface, such as grass.
