3500 calories in 1 pound of fat
I'm going to do some simple math here to let the numbers speak.
7 Days in a week
3500 divided by 7 = 500 calories per day
Burn 500 calories through exercise
Remove 500 calories from diet.
That equals 1000 calories per day.
1000 multiply by 7 is 7000 calories per week.
That's 2 pounds of fat lost in 7 days.
44 miles is 1 pound of fat.
Again some math.
7 Days in a week
44 divided by 7 = 6.3 miles per day
1 pound of fat lost each week by doing 6.3 miles per day.
How do I find Miles in my Area?

Map my Runs wants to charge you for printing out your maps. Don't do it. Save your money to reward yourself once you reach a goal. Instead, use map my run to figure out your route and miles. Then go to Google maps and print out the map using a highlighter or pen to trace your route. You can also get google earth and plot out your course but I find just swapping sites is just as easy.
MYTHS of EXERCISE
Drinking Distilled water washes out the bodies minerals.
How Long Should You Exercise
Depends on what you're going for. The CDC has created a webpage that tells how often a child or adult should exercise weekly. And walks you through all the different types of exercise that's out there. I used this as a starting base for my life long routine to get in shape and stay that way.
In order for me to see the results I want in a decent amount of time I need to push myself daily. 60 to 90 minutes a day to exercise burning off 500 calories and strengthing my body and muscles.

MYTHS of EXERCISE
Drinking Distilled water washes out the bodies minerals.
- Fact: Drinking distilled water rinses out the bodies extra mineral deposits that are no long being used. Drinking both tap and distilled water will not harm you.
- Fact: Working out barefoot makes your body work harder because of the foot developing a sense of balance. Shoes were made to protect our feet from the enviornment such as hot asphalt and sharp rock/debris. Not our home floors.
- Fact: Walking barefoot on a treadmill is okay IN MODERATION. You will burn your feet if you jump right into a huge stint of running. http://www.runbare.com/359/barefoot-running-on-treadmill-challenges/

Adults need at least: Credit to CDC
 | 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., brisk walking) every week and |
 | muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms). |
 | 1 hour and 15 minutes (75 minutes) of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., jogging or running) every week and |
| muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms). |
| | An equivalent mix of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity and |
| muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms). |
