How to run more effectively?

Running is a very common sport. Almost everyone runs regularly. There are certain running techniques. Only by insisting on using the correct running method can you achieve better weight loss effects. These techniques not only include running movements, but also have a lot to do with the reasonable grasp of time. The following editor will introduce how you should run in order to achieve better results.

Find the best time to run

It’s best to run at a time that suits you. People who like to run in the morning can do it before going to work, while people who prefer to run at night can do it after returning home.

More important than choosing when to run is not to run on an empty stomach or on a full stomach. If you are on an empty stomach, you won't be able to exert any strength. If you are on a full stomach, strenuous exercise will be harmful to your health because the blood will be concentrated in the digestive tract. The best time is 2 to 3 hours after a meal.

When running on an empty stomach in the early morning, it is best to drink some sports drinks to aid digestion and replenish energy, or eat a banana about 30 minutes in advance.

Do stretching exercises first

Are you eager to lose weight, so you put on your running shoes and start running? This is not the best way to lose weight by running. You should know that the energy in your body is divided into two types: fast energy and reserve energy. Only when the quick energy is almost consumed, your body's reserve energy "fat" will start to burn. That is to say, if your physical fitness is not very good, it is possible that you are already tired from running and the fat has not started to be consumed. Therefore, if you want to lose weight by running effectively, you should do some stretching or relaxation exercises before running. On the one hand, it can warm up and prevent injuries. On the other hand, it can consume some glycogen first, so that the fat burning efficiency can be greatly improved when you run next time.

Don't run every day

Although jogging is good for staying healthy and losing weight, experts do not recommend running every day. It is best to run every other day. As for the days when you don't run, you can do some stretching exercises to increase the flexibility of your whole body. This is very important and is the key to ensuring smooth metabolism throughout the body, especially preventing fat and water accumulation in the limbs.

When running, you should also pay attention to the frequency and intensity of exercise. Excessive intensity or running too many times will have some adverse effects on your health. Sometimes it will also greatly reduce the body's immune ability. After all, the body will consume a lot of water while running. If you are not able to replenish water in time, various problems may arise due to dehydration.
