On the days when I cannot get to the gym, I turn on the TV and start walking, dancing, and now running. I am actually really enjoying running in place as I haven't been able to run since college.

Is running in place actually any better for weight loss than walking/dancing in place?

Just curious.

Thanks.

I'm sure it gets your heart up better, but I would be bored! LOL. I do use a treadmill though

I know running in place doesn't quite equal running but if you are enjoying it, I say keep up with it. Have you thought about doing something such as jump roping or rebounding? Those are also supposed to be good exercises.
