Apply these 4 tips when jogging to both stay healthy and help burn calories effectively to lose weight.
1. Running long is not necessarily effective
Running a marathon can be a completely rewarding experience and helps with weight loss. However, if you run more than 3 hours or more than 16km per day, your muscles will probably break down. Thus, you have lost the minimum amount of calories needed to maintain your current weight.
2. Follow a strength training regimen
Maintaining the habit of jogging in the park or on a treadmill every day is a completely good thing. But if you do not follow a strength training regimen and do too much cardio, it will cause injury due to overtraining.
3. Combine running exercises
When you think of “running,” you probably think of long or short jogs at a fast or slow pace. You should incorporate a variety of running exercises into your training regimen, lasting 30 to 60 minutes at a time.
4. Rest at least one day a weekIt’s important to give your body time to recover and rest. Besides intense running days, take a day to rest and do light exercises to give your body enough energy to continue the weight loss process.
