Taking your running shoes out of retirement? You have to hit a certain mileage per week to lose pounds you gain after an exercise hiatus, reports a study in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
On average, women who resumed running after a break (the length didn't matter) started losing whatever weight they'd gained only after breaking 48 kilometers per week. Running less than that actually caused additional weight gain-either from muscle buildup (a good thing) or from eating more to compensate for the added activity.
