Jogging and Weight Loss

It is commonly known fact that exercise is needed for healthy weight loss. Exercise does not necessarily mean lifting weights either. There are many ways to get the cardiovascular exercise you need including walking, running, jogging, swimming, or even your favorite sport. Today, I plan to cover jogging because there are certain ways that jogging can help you, but if done improperly, can actually be a detriment to your work out.

Jogging, how most people do it, is actually bad for losing fat. The reason being that when you jog for long distances it starts to eat away at your muscle for energy rather than your fat. This is a common problem for most long distance joggers. Also, when you break down muscle like this, it can actually slow down your metabolic rates and you can actually gain weight in the end.

The best way to job is to do it in intervals. An example routine would be to run at high intensity for about 10-15 seconds, which will raise your heart rate. After that you slow down to a walk or slow jog for about 20-30 seconds. Repeat that for about 20 minutes and you will be burning fat and preserving, and most likely gaining, muscle. If possible, try to avoid jogging for long periods of time - Don’t go for more than 20 minutes.

Remember that any exercise you do is going to be beneficial to you in some way or another. Just get out and try to have fun with your work out or maybe even join your favorite recreational sports league if a jogging routine like this doesn’t work for you.
