Rio, what if its only 10-15 min for a few times a week? Im doing it until i get a decent sweat going, nothing crazy.
Do it if you like it, but it is much easier to lose 1lb per week by reducing your daily calories by 500 than it is to lose the same by jogging. A quick search says you will burn about 500 calories per hour jogging.
But since you are new to lifting you are able to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. That's something only a beginner can do, so take advantage of it. Just lift heavy and eat a lot of protein. You will gain muscle and drop fat and you won't have to worry about being skinny fat.
