Status: offline 		doing too much cardio can cause muscle loss. also im surprised u only do 4.0mph. if i do interval running i switch between 10mph on a 3 incline and 3mph on a 3 incline, or if i do steady state i do like 8mph on a 1 incline but 4mph even if u are a beginner isnt very intense, every1 is different but i would still suggest that u go up in speed.

Status: offline 		it sounds like im build the exact same way.  I am 5' 9'' and i weigh 150.  I have been bulking, and in that case, added fat has built up.  I have just started hitting the cardio hard at the gym, which you shud do to. this will lower your overall bodyfat, which will show your abs.

Status: offline 		well my dad is on a fat loss program which he started 3 weeks ago, and he has lost 5lbs even though he has gained muscle. What you should do is on the treadmill say your sprint speed is 7.0 then do this:
warm up for 5 minutes on 5.0
walk at 2.0 for a minute
sprint at 7.0 for a minute
walk at 2.0 for 2 minutes
sprint at 7.0 for a minutes
walk at 2.0 for 2 minutes
Continue the sprint and walk cycle until, altogether including the warm up you reach 25 minutes.
Do this on alternate days so mon/wed/fri/sun/tues/thurs/sat for 3 weeks and you should lose around 5lbs although considering your diet is right.

Status: offline 		yea what satty said is very good, however i would suggest sprinting and resting for equal times, thats what i do, unless ur just beginning. also a 5 min. cool down is good too ( for the example give if 2mph was ur walking then u would cool down at like 4-5mph or whatever u did the warm up as)

Status: offline 		yea i defintely. if ur doing it intense enough u shouldnt need more than 30min. of hard work not including the warm up and cool down. even then i think thats alot. i normally do like 5 min. warm up and 5 min, cool down and 6 one minute intervals with 6 1 min. rest so its like 22min. in all. thats just my traditional  run but i mix it up and if ur doing the same thing all the time u should switch it up too.
