But now with the improvement of living standards, people's physical fitness has dropped a lot, and life has become more and more convenient. People don't need to go hunting in the wild every day for a living, but although life is convenient, our bodies have been abandoned a lot. The body needs constant exercise. Now people don't lack food and drink in life, but exercise. People who can keep exercising every day now believe that besides bodybuilders, there may be soldiers in the army. So what's the difference between running 5 kilometers a day and training for 2 hours a day?
First, the gap in sports ability.
Even if it is 5 kilometers, it is not easy for ordinary people to finish it. You must always run and exercise. If you let a person who doesn't usually exercise run 5 kilometers, even if he can finish it, he will be exhausted. In fact, it only takes about 30 minutes to run 5 kilometers. For example, the army's qualification standard is about 19 minutes. Although it sounds that the amount of exercise for two hours of fitness training is greater than that for running 5 kilometers, in terms of physical exercise ability, bodybuilders may not be as good as those who run 5 kilometers. Half-run can exercise one's sports ability, body balance ability and heart and lung function.
Second, the muscle gap between them.
From the aspect of muscle shape, we can often see many muscular men who love strength training, but rarely see muscular men who run every day. The reason is also very simple. The two training methods are different, and the fitness effect is naturally different. Running 5 kilometers is more about losing weight or strengthening physical fitness, while strength training is about gaining muscles. Running too much will consume some muscles, which is why many fitness muscle men don't like running.
Third, the physical gap between the two.
Nowadays, many people think of running as aerobic training to lose weight, but in fact, there are many places where running can exercise, which can not only reduce fat, but also improve our cardiopulmonary function and leg muscles, improve our body's immunity and adjust our mood. People who can run 5 kilometers a day for a long time must have strong perseverance. People who train for 2 hours a day will also greatly improve their physical fitness, muscle and bone strength.
Therefore, although they are two different fitness training modes, there is a big gap between body and muscle, but there is not much difference in physical quality. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. As for what kind of fitness mode you like, it depends on your personal fitness purpose.
