Exercise to lose weight can be said to be the main purpose of 80%-90% people. What is the best exercise to lose weight? Some people tell you that running is the best way to burn fat, and of course others tell you, especially some gym coaches will tell you that strength training is the best way to lose weight, because after increasing muscle content through strength training. Can effectively promote basal metabolism, thus greatly increasing energy consumption. So what is the truth?

1, running has a certain fat burning effect.

Running consumes 8- 10 times as much energy per minute as quiet running, and its speed is 10- 12 times or more, so running is a kind of exercise that consumes enough calories and burns fat. So people who need to lose weight can rest assured that running is one of the most effective weight loss exercises.

Don't run too fast when you are running to lose weight. Jogging at medium and low speed is good. On the one hand, it can promote fat burning, on the other hand, it will not be too tired and get a better running experience.

The basic principle of exercise energy supply tells us that when the exercise intensity is low, the energy supply ratio of fat is high. With the increase of exercise intensity, the proportion of fat energy supply decreases and the proportion of sugar energy supply increases.

2. Instead of running for half an hour to burn fat, it is better to run for more than half an hour to burn fat.

Running for half an hour before burning fat is one of the most popular rumors in sports and fitness. The reason is that running will consume sugar at first and fat after half an hour. So in order to lose weight, you must run for at least half an hour.

If it is to burn more fat, weight-loss runners can really extend their running time, but if it is useless to lose weight within half an hour of running, it is a complete fallacy!

In fact, sugar and fat are the main energy-supplying substances of human body (protein seldom participates in energy-supplying and is ignored), and their modes of action are mixed, that is, almost no activity is provided only by sugar or fat. Only the energy supply ratio is slightly different. In low-intensity activities, the proportion of fat energy supply is higher, and the proportion of sugar energy supply is lower; In high-intensity activities, the proportion of fat energy supply is low, and the proportion of sugar energy supply is low. Therefore, we often advise people to take part in long-term low-intensity jogging.
