Don't run to lose weight (1) Don't run every day.

Although running is good for keeping healthy and losing weight, running every day is also harmful to our knees and ankles, so it is best to run every other day to give our knees and ankles a time to repair themselves. As for the day when you don't run halfway, you can do stretching exercises to increase the flexibility of your whole body, and you can also do strength training to improve your basal metabolism.

Run to lose weight 2) Don't run too fast.

Don't think that the faster you run, the more fat you burn. On the contrary, when you run fast, the oxygen supply in your body is insufficient and your body is doing anaerobic exercise. Fat can't completely participate in combustion, so it can't be consumed. Aerobic exercise with relatively low exercise intensity can promote fat burning in your body.

So, how to judge whether your current running intensity belongs to aerobic exercise or anaerobic exercise?

The simplest way is that if you feel out of breath when running, it means that your body is doing anaerobic exercise; If you breathe evenly and harmoniously while running, you can even chat with people around you while running without feeling disordered breathing, which shows that you are doing aerobic exercise that can best promote fat burning.

Run to lose weight 3) Don't just run for 20 minutes.

Theoretically, on the premise of strength training, running for 20 minutes is already consuming fat, but if you stop exercising at this time, you can't lose weight by burning fat completely. So if you want to lose weight by running, you should run for at least 20 minutes, and 40 minutes is recommended.
