running on treadmill or running outside?

[Robert28]

You have any gradual hills or steep hills around you? Do sprints up those. Running by itself isn’t going to lose you any fat, maybe some but not what you’re hoping to achieve. To burn fat you need to build muscle, to build muscle you want to do various exercises (I prefer high reps and sets vs lifting heavy 5x5 type stuff.) I just like how my body looks and don’t want that bulky meathead look, I want that athletic look but not the skinny shredded type.

High reps and volume creates bigger muscles. Low rep high intensity not as much so. Different types of hypertrophy (strength is mostly CNS adaption)….

Treadmill is superior because you can watch movies etc that make the time spent running more pleasant and therefore longer.

I agree and you aren't stranded somewhere if you get hurt on it

Running is painful. I ride the bicycle outside. Outside is always better due to terrain, wind, and weather.

Cycling takes longer for equivalent calorie burn.

Yes. However, you can ride much longer because it doesn’t fvck up your joints.
