How long does it take to jog to lose weight?

There must be a limit to everything we do. Exceeding this limit will only bring unnecessary trouble to ourselves. The same is true for exercising and fitness. Running is the most popular way of exercising, so there needs to be a limit to running. Once this limit is exceeded, running will no longer be beneficial to the body, but will instead produce adverse effects on the body. So how long should we jog to be helpful for our fitness and weight loss?

Jogging is an aerobic exercise, and fat will only start to be consumed 40 minutes after the start of aerobic exercise. The most important thing is not to exercise with any psychological burden.

It is best to jog for 40-60 minutes each time, and the speed should not be too fast. The heart rate range of aerobic exercise should be controlled within: (220-age)×(60%-80%). Control your diet, especially eat less at night. If you stick to it for a long time, you will see obvious weight loss results.

From a physiological point of view, if you continue jogging in a state of slight sweat, the body's energy supply will gradually shift from "burning" sugars to "burning" fat, thereby achieving the goal of losing weight and maintaining an ideal weight.

After finishing the jogging with a slight sweat, you should do some relaxing activities, such as slow walking, leg bounce, squatting, waist rotation, chest expansion, etc. Wait until your body temperature and heart rate have returned to normal before returning to the room. After returning to the house, it is best to change the sweaty clothes, or consciously put on a sports shirt before running, dry it after running, and wash it at most 3 times. In addition, jogging to lose weight does not have to be done every day. Jogging three times a week is enough to achieve the goal. Being too tired can easily lead to colds and other illnesses.

You can weigh yourself every day and measure your waist, hips, and legs every week to remind yourself. Looking at the reduced weight and smaller circumference can also encourage yourself and increase your confidence in losing weight.

Running on a schedule can effectively strengthen your body and make running easier, but if running is your only form of exercise, boredom and mechanical strain will make it unbearable. Add some aerobic exercise to your regular routine, such as biking, hiking, dancing, or swimming, in addition to your running. Doing different aerobic exercises will work other parts of your body, so it will feel easier every time you put on your sneakers and get ready to go out for a run. The best thing about taking a break from running for another sport is that you'll actually miss it, and you'll experience more joy when you're excited to go out for a run.

Strong leg muscles make running easier. One way to do this is to add hill climbing to your running routine to strengthen your legs. Running uphill can feel surprisingly difficult, but when you reach the top of the run and the road turns flat, you'll be surprised how easy it is. Alternatively, you can work on your lower body muscles at home with squats, lunges, step-ups, or try this yoga combo for runners.

Generally speaking, walking is a slow process and requires us to do some warm-up preparation. Generally, jogging takes about 40-60 minutes, which is quite helpful for us to lose weight. This is a relatively long process, and a long period of time in the middle will make our bodies tired, requiring us to persist and divert our attention.
