Is running 2 miles a day enough to get fit?

Answer 1

Yes. Running at all is good for you (period) but running/walking 2 miles a day will get you shaped up and fit. now you won't see results the first day, it may take weeks to notice anything, but you will definitly feel better after each day after running! if you run two miles a day but still eat what you want, you will probably not loose or gain weight. but if you cut out the junk food and just eat 3 full meals a day and still run 2 miles a day, usually burning about 250 calories each 2 miles, than you can definily loose at least a pound per week, that being how hard you push yourself, an how much of the extra snacks and junk food yu cut out!! but you will get the hang of it, and eventually start to loose the pounds!

hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

One mile of exercise is not enough even on a daily basis. It is certainly preferable to less or nothing at all. 30 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise per day is a minimum. 10 thousand steps (5 miles) per day is optimal.
