i jog sometimes and i was wondering like is it like a cardio work out although i dont do it to work out, i be blowing off some steam by jogging and, i would like to know if it burn calories/fat on the entire body, includind the face, chest, and arms.

Answer:

It is cardiovascular exercise, meaning it makes your heart work harder and increased the need for oxygen in the body, a good thing. It also burn calories that can aid in losing weight all over the body as you burn excess calorie stores(fat). It is also good for "blowing off stream" Exercise is a good tool to use for our mental health as well as physical hea;th.

a calorie is a calorie... there is no research that shows that fat moves from one area any faster than another...

if you would like to look more tone, you can always do weight training, but that only increases muscle... it's doesn't burn fat.

Jogging is probably the best excersice to loose weight and keep in good health.

Jogging is definitely a cardio workout, and a really good one...it burns alot of calories, and strengthens leg muscles and bones. It won't necessarily burn fat off of the face chest and arms, because they aren't really involved in the motion, however, because jogging burns calories, you will see a decrease in fat all over your body.

jogging burns calories so you can loose weight

Yes if you go far enough. Sprinting doesn't burn it as well as long distance jogging. 20 mins you burn carbs, 20-40 mins 50 carbs/50 fat, 40-60mins mostly fat burn. It's more duration with cardio than speed.

yes, it is cardio
