Regular running is also good for your health, but why do many people weigh themselves after several months and find that they have not lost a few pounds? Regular continuous running can effectively help you lose weight, but you should also pay attention to the methods of running to lose weight.
First, don't run every day. Many people think that as long as they keep exercising and running every day, they will definitely lose weight. Exercise to lose weight lies in perseverance. So, it is wrong for Bian Xiao to tell you this idea today. Although running is good for keeping healthy and losing weight, exercise consumes calories in the human body. But experts don't recommend running every day. It is best to run every other day. As for the day when you don't run halfway, you can do stretching exercise to increase the flexibility of your whole body, which is very important and the key to ensure the smooth metabolism of your whole body, especially to prevent fat and water from accumulating in your limbs. Therefore, in order to achieve a lasting weight loss effect, besides exercise, we should also make reasonable adjustments in diet.
Secondly, under the premise of full warm-up, don't think that the faster you run, the more fat you burn. The opposite is true. When running fast, the oxygen in the body is insufficient, the body is doing anaerobic exercise, and fat can't fully participate in combustion, so it can't be consumed. Aerobic exercise with relatively low exercise intensity can promote fat burning in the human body.
So, how to judge whether your current running intensity belongs to aerobic exercise or anaerobic exercise?
The simplest way is that if you feel out of breath when running, it means that your body is doing anaerobic exercise. If you breathe evenly and harmoniously when running, you can even talk to people around you while running without feeling disordered breathing, which shows that you are doing aerobic exercise that can promote fat burning best.
Jogging for 20 minutes is the time when the energy consumption is almost the same, and the stored energy fat begins to be mobilized and ready to burn. If you stop exercising at this time, you will not be able to lose weight by burning fat fully. So the running time recommended by experts is 40 minutes at a time.
Although jogging is good for keeping healthy and losing weight, experts don't recommend running every day. It is best to run every other day.
Stretching after running
1, calf stretching exercise
When we are running, the pressure on our calves is the greatest, so we should stretch the muscles of our calves after running. This method is very simple. Put your hands on the wall, keep your legs apart, bend your front legs and straighten your rear legs. Straighten your feet forward, hold for 30 seconds after you feel the stretching feeling in your hind leg, and then stretch the other leg, and repeat this several times.
