So many people are interested in learning how to run and lose weight,
but they should also realize that running can do much more than just
help you lose extra pounds. Indeed, the health benefits of running could
likely fill an entire book.
Running is an exercise one can do
alone, with friends, outdoors or indoors, virtually any time of day, and
it tends to be something people either love or dread. But, there are
many who formerly despised running who have come to enjoy it. These are
the people who managed to conquer their aversion in order to take
advantage of the many positive aspects of running.
What is the best way to run and lose weight? We should begin with some quick tips on running.
Some Running Basics:
1.
Begin by stretching before you run. It is important to completely
stretch the leg and calf muscles. That way, you will increase your
flexibility and keep you from incurring muscle injuries or strains.
2.
Begin every run at a reduced speed. That way, your body will have time
to adjust to the exertion. My suggestion is to go slow for at least two
or three minutes, perhaps slightly longer if you are a novice.
3.
After the warm up period is over, ramp up to a jog. Remember that this
will be the pace you resume once your finish your fast running. This is a
pace at which you should feel controlled, steady and at ease.
4.
After you jog at this pace, increase to an even quicker, yet still
controllable pace. It is at this speed that you will maximize your
ability to burn fat. Anyone running on a treadmill might consider
raising the incline at this pace, as it will optimize fat burning.
5.
Switch back and forth between a moderate jog and a faster run. Those
just starting out with running only need to workout for thirty to
forty-five minutes, and more experienced athletes might consider running
for sixty to ninety minutes.
That is the fundamental framework
for high intensity interval training workouts. This is a type of
exercise able to optimize your body's capacity to burn fat as you run.
What makes running a great way to lose weight?
The
most obvious positive feature of running is that you will undoubtedly
use a greater number of calories than you would if you simply walked or
remained at rest. Running has long been recognized as among the most
effective cardiovascular workouts for calorie burning.
Running in
this way while also adhering to a sensible diet is sure to produce the
weight and fat loss results you desire. Also, this kind of workout
utilizes and strengthens the legs, lungs, hands and heart. Your lung
capacity and efficiency will improve as you continue your workouts. By
processing more oxygen, your body will become a more effective fat
burner.
Lastly, you will achieve a decrease in blood pressure, an increase in circulation, and will experience greater relaxation.
