So, running is supposed to be the overall best workout anyone can get right? I have a few questions any of you health freaks can help me out with.
1. Does running outdoors burn more calories than running on a treadmill? Cause I can run longer o a treadmill.
2. I perfer to bike or jump rope, how much more do I have to do these to equal one hour of running? I have heard jumping rope may actually better than running, is this true?
3. What other workout is recommended for overall body workout and cardio? (Besides swimming).
4. Any diets that actually work better than the "Eat less, move more" diet? I doubt it huh?

people say running is an overall workout, but legs aside, it probably wont develop your other muscles as much as you would want.

what most serious gym guys I know do is go through periods where you focus on weight lifting and high protein/calorie intake and periods where you focus on running and other cardio to burn fat.

I dont think treadmills burn any less or more carbs that running, though getting used to running in an enclosed area and the same speed (lest you trip and fall can get getting used to.

as for the jump rope/bike question, try looking up HIIT in a search engine and try to apply that.
