Although aerobic exercise is an effective way to consume fat, long-term aerobic exercise consumes not only fat, but also muscle, which can consume the fat on your stomach and achieve the effect of losing weight.
Sports physiologists have found that when the amount of exercise reaches 60% of the maximum heart rate, the body consumes more fat than sugar (glycogen) or protein (muscle).
But if the intensity of exercise is higher than 75% of the maximum heart rate, the body will directly use fat, sugar and protein as energy sources.

During running, the capacity of the lungs increases from 5.8 liters to 6.2 liters on average, and at the same time, the oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood will be greatly increased, the frequency and efficacy of heart beating will be greatly improved, and the heartbeat, blood pressure and elasticity of blood vessel walls will also be increased.
