There are many ways to lose weight, but many people, like me, choose running when they want to lose weight. Why? Because running is simple, convenient and cheap. You can lose weight without spending money. I believe many people like it. But why can't you lose weight after running every day? What is the relationship between running and losing weight? Let's have a look.
1, on the bottleneck of running
I often hear people complain that they can't lose weight after running 5 or 6 kilometers every day. Why?
First of all, the length of running time is not directly related to weight loss. Moreover, people always underestimate the adaptability of the human body. For example, the human body adapts to a new sport every six weeks. If you run 5 kilometers a day now, your body will adapt from the beginning to the gradual adaptation and then to complete acceptance. At this time, if you run 5 kilometers every day, it will have the same effect on your health as if you were walking every day.
In this process, the body's adaptability will improve itself. Over time, if you run like this for half a year every day, your body may have adapted for more than four months. In these four months, your running is only a health care function for your body, and the amount of exercise remains the same, but the effect of burning body fat has been slowly decreasing.
So I suggest you don't use one exercise to lose weight for a long time. You can change some exercise methods regularly. For example, you used to do uniform aerobic exercise at first, but now you can switch to variable-speed aerobic exercise. Or add some strength training on the premise of aerobic exercise. Strength training can help you increase your basal metabolic rate and let you burn fat when you are still.
I like running for a long time.
I don't know when it started. About running to lose weight, more and more people think that the longer you run, the more fat you consume, and it must take more than 40 minutes to start burning fat.
People who insist on these views seem to forget one thing, that is, exercise heart rate. In the energy consumed by exercise, the proportion of fat consumed by low-intensity exercise is higher than that of high-intensity exercise, provided that the total calories are constant and the time consumed is more.
Studies have shown that after running for half an hour, the proportion of girls' burning function is half that of fat and sugar. Only when running for more than 90 minutes, the fuel for running is basically from fat. But as a person without a sports foundation, if you want to run for an hour and a half, forget it. I don't think many people can hold on.
Whether you can lose weight by running depends on how you run. If you use the right method, running is a stepping stone to your success. If you run wrong, it will easily become a stumbling block. (99 Health Network (99.cn) topic, please indicate the source if you need to reprint it. )
