Can jogging for half an hour help you lose weight?

Jogging has become a favorite way of fitness and weight loss for people in modern life. This sport is not only suitable for teenagers and young adults but also for the elderly. Jogging can not only help you lose weight, but also improve your cardiopulmonary capacity, prevent heart disease, and so on. But we are more keen on using it for weight loss. So, what is the weight loss effect of jogging for half an hour?

Experts at the weight loss camp said that only when exercise lasts more than about 40 minutes can the fat in the human body be mobilized to provide energy together with glycogen. As exercise time increases, the proportion of fat energy supply can reach 85% of the total consumption. It can be seen that fat consumption is not obvious regardless of the intensity of exercise for less than about 40 minutes. Therefore, for those who want to lose weight, they should change their movements appropriately while ensuring the exercise time. For example, they can do aerobics for about 40 minutes and then do equipment exercises for about 15 minutes. This can not only prevent local muscle fatigue, but also increase calorie consumption, thereby achieving better weight loss results.

Jogging is effective for weight loss and can burn a lot of calories, but there are also many things to note. However, jogging requires strengthening warm-up exercises to enhance ligament elasticity and joint flexibility, otherwise, if you are not careful, you may suffer sports injuries such as muscle strain and sprain.

Be sure to do cool-down exercises after jogging, because after intense exercise, a lot of blood will be concentrated in the lower limbs and muscles. If you stop immediately without doing cool-down exercises, it will affect the blood flow back to the heart, causing blood to remain in the muscles, making it impossible to effectively eliminate lactic acid, and it is easy for the heart and brain to have insufficient blood supply, resulting in dizziness and fainting. Just massage for 5-10 minutes after running to relax your leg muscles, and your calves will not become thicker but thinner.

Stretching before running, massage after running, combined with a half-hour running process. As long as you stick to it every day, although you can't see obvious results immediately, as long as you stick to it for two or three months, you will not only see a reduction in waist circumference, but also see thinner calves and other effects!
