Is jogging a great form of exercise for burning body fat? I tend to think that it is not for a couple of reasons. Here is a list compiled from Erik Minor and Charles Poliquin.

1) jogging puts repeated stress on the ankles, shins, knees, and hips increasing orthopedic issues in the lower extremities.
2) jogging increases cortisol levels in the body - cortisol burns your muscle and causes you to store fat in you midsection
3) jogging places a huge amount of oxidative stress on the body which accelerates the aging process

If you are trying to burn body fat a better choice is to lift weights in order to accelerate your metabolism and save your knees and hips.
