Can running exercise abdominal muscles?
Running will exercise the abdominal muscles, but more is to exercise the whole body muscles. It has little effect on abdominal muscle exercise.

Exercise can promote the growth of muscles, but running does not promote the growth of leg muscles much. Fast running contributes to the explosive power of muscles, while long running contributes to the endurance of muscles. It also affects other muscles, but it is more slight.

Running fast is explosive, and jogging for a long time can exercise endurance and burn fat. Jogging for a long time can reduce abdominal fat and make abdominal muscles look more obvious, but jogging itself can't exercise developed abdominal muscles.

The benefits of running

1, develop a good physique that is easy to burn fat.

Generally speaking, running belongs to aerobic exercise (running speed will affect the heart rate, but generally speaking, it is considered that the heart rate of running should be controlled within the aerobic heart rate range). Through running, you can improve muscle strength, make muscle mass properly return to normal level, at the same time, you can improve the basic metabolism level in the body, accelerate the burning of fat and develop lean body mass.

2. Make your body stronger and younger

Running can not only burn fat, but also shape the body if the posture is correct, especially round the drooping hips. When running, swinging your arms can exercise the muscles around your chest. Even if you are thin, you can become forward and backward.

In addition, developing the habit of running can improve the hormone secretion in the body, make your skin straight and become younger and firmer.

3. Improve the motivation of slimming.

Running outdoors and breathing fresh air can relieve the pressure of work and study on weekdays and relax yourself. Secondly, it can activate the functions of the brain and internal organs and make the body full of vitality. When you feel relaxed and free all the time, you can naturally face all the weight loss challenges and become more motivated!

You must choose shoes and track when running to lose weight. If you can't run on the right track, at least your shoes must be soft and elastic enough. The soft tissue inside the knee is a very fragile part. Long-term impact will wear it out, and once it is worn out, it will be difficult to grow well. It's different from bones. Bone will grow back to its original shape as long as you protect it properly, and soft tissue will grow back to its original shape, which is called hyperosteogeny.

Of course, running to lose weight can increase energy consumption and lose weight, but there are also cases where the weight does not drop but increases after running. Why is this? First, there is a large amount of exercise and a large appetite. Some people just started to lose weight by running, and then they lost weight again after a period of persistence. This is because running can stimulate digestive organs and increase appetite while consuming energy substances. At first I was able to control my diet and lose weight.

After a while, because of the unbearable hunger and the novelty of losing weight, I simply overeated and gained weight. Second, we can't persevere. Some people stop exercising after running for a while because they lose interest. We should know that the digestive system changes more slowly than the exercise system, and the energy consumption is obviously reduced after stopping exercise, but the absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract remains "vigorous". Of course, if you weigh it, you will gain weight.

Advancing is the most important part of running to lose weight. To ensure that the forward strength can prevent the deformation of the action after fatigue, it is recommended to carry out strength and stretching exercises. The stretching exercise of runners should be "dynamic stretching", not ordinary static stretching, because running itself is dynamic.

Before running, you should make a set of weight loss methods according to your own situation, such as how many meters to run in how many minutes and how long to run. Only in this way can we lose weight more effectively and quickly. And do warm-up exercises before exercise to prevent injuries during exercise.

Running to lose weight is not to run as fast as possible, but to run moderately and at the same speed. You can't go fast or slow, you can't walk or run. This is definitely not the right way. Jogging or speeding up, everyone should do it seriously. Don't give up when you are generally tired, which may make you fatter!

Don't sit down immediately after running, it's better to do a clean-up exercise again, or walk slowly for a few minutes to let the cells slowly precipitate and let the body have a buffer process.
