Which is better for losing weight, brisk walking or running?

I believe that many people have tried various methods to lose weight, such as running, spinning, brisk walking, swimming, playing ball, etc. Today we will focus on discussing which is better for weight loss, brisk walking or running. Because, this is a method of weight loss that most people try. In order to clear up everyone's doubts, we collected relevant information to compare the two.

In human walking mode, the weight of the body is supported by at least one leg. When running, the muscles explode with force, causing the body to float in the air without support. When the body is in the air and the supporting leg lands, the muscles act as a cushion again.

The study found that although the dynamic indicators of walking and running are similar at the same speed, the energy consumption of the two modes of movement is very different due to the differences in the speed of the trunk, legs and work. Jogging burns much more calories than brisk walking!

On the other hand, when running, the muscles simultaneously perform two parts: explosion - take-off, and take-off - cushioning (including concentric, eccentric, and plyometric movements).

Therefore, in terms of firming the body and increasing metabolism, running at the same speed is much more effective than brisk walking. In other words, running will make you burn more calories even when you are sitting, while brisk walking will not have such a big effect.

Losing weight is never just a question of how much fat is consumed during exercise, it also involves the secretion of various hormones, metabolic adjustments, and so on. To give an inappropriate example, the income from short-term part-time work cannot improve your overall social status. A white-collar worker with a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan, who sets up a stall after get off work and can earn 10,000 yuan a month. The final life is still different from that of a management trainee in a large foreign company who earns 8,000 yuan a month, or a section-level civil servant who earns 6,000 yuan a month. Because your life is determined by more than just how much you earn in a month. The same goes for your body shape. If you don't increase your metabolism and change your basic physical constitution, no matter how much energy you consume through dieting or how much energy you consume through long-term aerobic exercise, it will not change your body shape for long. Because your body shape is not only determined by the calories you take in and spend, but more by your lifestyle (of course, for modern people, calorie control is also very important, too many people eat too much and move too little)

That’s all for today’s comparison between brisk walking and running as to which is better for losing weight. I hope everyone will have different opinions. Choose the appropriate weight loss methods and approaches according to your actual situation. Of course, combining the two organically is also a good option. Finally, remember to warm up before exercising.
