As we all know, the best way to exercise is moderate and low intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, swimming and jogging. High-intensity exercise, such as strength training and sprinting, is more suitable for increasing muscle mass and shaping body shape.

20 12 did an experiment in Duke University. They included 1228 obese subjects. Do this experiment to see which is faster to lose weight, strength training or aerobic exercise?

The results show that aerobic exercise has a significant weight loss effect, because in the process of aerobic exercise, fat and sugar are doing work for your exercise at the same time, which helps to consume these more reserves, so the weight loss effect will be better than strength exercise.

In fact, strength exercise+aerobic exercise will have a better weight loss effect.

Experts suggest that dieters should go running or brisk walking immediately after completing 30-60 minutes of strength training, and 45-60 minutes is the best way to lose weight.

However, if you exercise too much, it is not good for losing weight, so you should avoid forced exercise at ordinary times, because high-intensity exercise basically does not consume fat, especially when you exercise under low oxygen, the metabolic substance produced by anaerobic glycolysis of muscle glycogen is lactic acid. Under aerobic conditions, many things in the liver are decomposed into carbon dioxide and water, some of which are re-synthesized into glycogen, but a small amount of lactic acid is also synthesized into fat through metabolism.

Therefore, high-intensity exercise can not only lose weight, but sometimes it will be counterproductive and increase body fat accumulation. I suggest doing proper activities when losing weight.
