Ask someone that just ran around their block for the first time anything.
YOU should be asking US questions, not the other way around.

Ah thanks, it's my first time posting on this board. What should and shouldn't I do while running?
>>37541332
Do you think that counting steps will have any impact on your physique? If so, why?
What are your long term goals? If you're fat right now then cardio will help but long term it isn't the best. You'll also likely get injured within 3 months.

Yes I do believe it will, let's say you eat a lot of protein and good shit for yourself, you gotta run/walk a certain amount of steps to make up for the calories you took in. I'm sorry if I'm horrible at this, but I'll try to answer as best as I can.

I would like to be healthy, also looking good is always a goal for people. I'm not fat for my age, more average. Do you have any ideas for what else I could do besides cardio. Someone suggested to me to run with weights.

Getting fit is 80% diet 20% exercise. Look into HIIT training rather than long winded cardio. When you've built up some strength, look into weight lifting. Eventually when your body fat lowers enough and you start wanting to look good instead of just lean, youll want to bulk. Thats when you drop cardio.

if you're just starting, then i'd stick to cardio for at least two months. if you do too much at once you're going to burn out and quit.

I see this all the time, especially since the fitbit craze started. Technically you're right, steps = calories burned. Funny thing is, I've never seen someone who puts much stock into this thought make progress. Draw your own conclusions.
If you want to make progress, eat a 500 calorie deficit daily, and weigh yourself every morning after you pee. Plot the weights. You'll see a 1 lb /wk weightloss (average, will fluctuate). If you don't, you're lying to yourself about your food consumption. It sucks, but it is easier once you start seeing results.
