No. Jog for an hour a day, five days a week, for a month. Congratulations! You just burned the calories in one pound of fat. Hope that jogging didn’t stimulate your appetite (it probably did).

That’s actually not accurate. At an average of 400 calories per hour of slow jog (4 mi/hr) that is 8,000 calories—or about 2 1/3 pounds.

About 28 pounds in a year.

I believe you have miscalculated. 1 hour of jogging is about 725 calories. A pound of fat is 3,500 calories. So five days of jogging (6 miles per hour) for an hour, is over a pound of fat.
