My question : Does running burns muscle too? I'm working out to build muscle and have to train running regularly for marathon.

burns muscle as in losing muscle if doing cardio?

Not so if you maintain adequate weight training + nutrition.

my question is :- does sports or exercise in early morning without breakfast will burn muscles or burn fat as fuel? hmmm

There are no solid evidence on this, but it depends on personal, with or without bfast before exercise.
P/s. Exercise won't burn muscle. Muscle can't be burned by exercise.

Trust me, I'm a physiotherapist.

i mean exercise without having breakfast, exercise with empty stomach after wake up

You wont burn any muscle if you get enough protein and calories.

For you to actually lose muscle you need to be in a caloric deficit and low protein intake

thanks!

Health lifestyles that combine sensible eating with regular physical activity increase your quality of life. Overweight or obesity increases your risk for high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain types of cancer, arthritis, and breathing problems. Proper weight is key to health and a long life.

I am currently doing a 1km walk+jog for 15min on a treadmill. I am a newbie in exercising and so far I can cope. Hope to get this going for at least thrice in a week.

All the best! Great work that you are increasing your activity levels. Be mindful of your daily caloric intake as well. the only way to lose fats is to be at a caloric deficit

Low energy input (food) + high energy output (activity) = caloric deficit (fatloss)

Its best you have sufficient amount of carbs before your workout. The carbs you will use as energy to push through your training. Ensure you have high protein for you to maintain/grow your muscles in order to lift heavy

Detox tea is a scam. You dont need it to "detox". We have our liver to do that for us.

If you want to lose weight just eat less.

Hi, I'm wondering if eat-workout-rest/sleep done repeatedly (excluding from after dinner to about 4 am) is safe?

You mean you workout before you rest/sleep? Don't think there is any issue unless you eat too heavy dinner that might cause problem during your workout. Have a moderate meal (with carbs for energy) and then workout is good

Sorry no, I mean - okay here for an example:

Good to hear you started on your fitness journey! how's your progress so far?

But only 1km walk + 15min job (depending on the speed though) all the time may not be effective in building your metabolism and burn fat. however if you have bad knees or injury, yes take it easy.

Just to share what worked for me.

1. 30mins incline walk moderate pace
2. Focusing on compound exercises (e.g. Bench press/ lat pull down) which work multiple muscle groups.
3. Train with intensity, not for long duration. More weight and less reps.
4. Cut down on carbs, and eat very little for dinner.
5. Drink lots of water and snack on nuts if hungry.
