from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

We all want to burn fat and running is the perfect way to do so. It is easier than going to the gym and more practical as you just have to step out of the front door and you can run anywhere!

Steps

1. Find a suitable route for your run/jog (a park would be perfect but even just around the block will work).
   
2. Start off slowly gathering speed every minute, remember to move your arms, this will help you burn more calories.
   
3. Start running. Running for 30 mins will burn a good amount of calories. The longer you run the slower you should go; otherwise you will get tired out and will not be able to complete your run.
