I love to jog on our treadmill at home to help me lose some weight,
But I'm not sure which is more important : Distance or Time?
I always hear that you HAVE to jog for 45 minutes at least.
But then I also hear that if you jog 1-2 miles, then you're fine..
I usually jog over 3 miles in 30 minutes...so I don't know what matters more..
I don't know..what do you guys think?

i believe that time is more important. the owner of the gym i go to told me that you should do at least 20 to 30 min of cardio three times per week. a friend of mine who went on this really intensive 6 month weight loss program told me that the most important thing is getting your heart rate up to the right speed and trying to maintain that heart rate for the duration of your cardio workout. so really distance is not a factor here. it's about the heart rate and time.

Well... I'm no health expert... But every bit of research I did said time, and didn't really mention distance.
A good workout I'm assuming means you want to burn calories. And in order to do that you need to do cardio for at least 20 minutes before your body switches from burning carbs to burning calories... Doesn't matter how far you run, you need your heart rate up for at least that long.

None of the above. What matters most is your heart rate during your jog.
"But when it ends and while it ends, something comes, after so much rage, persistence, obstinacy, extravagance; something entirely unexpected and touching in its mildness and goodness. With the motif passed through many vicissitudes, which takes leave and so doing becomes itself entirely leave-taking, a parting wave and call, with this D G G occurs a slight change, it experiences a small melodic expansion. After an introductory C, it puts a C sharp before the D. . .and this added C Sharp is the most moving, consolatory, pathetically reconciling thing in the world. It is like having one's hair or cheek stroked, lovingly, understandingly, like a deep and silent farewell look. . . . " (Mann: 55).
