Why doesn’t aerobic exercise help you lose weight?

Nowadays, many friends gain weight due to unreasonable diet, overeating or bad living habits. I believe that no one wants to become fat, so the word "weight loss" came into being. While losing weight, everyone should also pay attention to how they lose weight. So can aerobic exercise help you lose weight? Let us find out now.

The most effective exercise for weight loss is aerobic exercise, especially exercise that consumes more energy. For example, aerobic exercises such as jogging, mountain climbing, brisk walking, ball games, swimming, etc. can be used for weight loss. It is best to complete each exercise continuously without stopping in the middle, and the calories burned each time must reach 300 kilocalories. Usually this amount of exercise will cause the heart rate to increase, or the degree of sweating, which are all within the scope of aerobic exercise for weight loss.

Here are some exercises that can burn 300 kcal:

Jogging: 30 to 50 minutes; Cycling: 1 hour to 75 minutes; Walking: 1 hour to 1.5 hours; Swimming: 30 to 40 minutes; Playing tennis: 45 minutes to 1 hour; Rope skipping: 30 to 40 minutes.

Aerobic exercise for weight loss will increase the body's metabolic rate, but the effect only lasts for two days at most. Therefore, the most important thing about exercise is persistence. If you can't do it every day, do it at least every two days.

In fact, the editor does not advocate that beginners or friends with poor physical conditions do aerobics to lose weight. Too simple exercises cannot meet the heart rate requirements, and more complex ones require higher body strength, flexibility, and toughness, which most people simply cannot do. If the movements are not in place, there will be no effect and it is easy to cause injury. Although there are various very attractive aerobics now, I suggest that friends who do not have the physical conditions should not use aerobics as a way to lose weight.

The above is an explanation of whether aerobic exercise can help you lose weight. Do you understand it? The editor here reminds everyone that no matter what kind of exercise it is, it is good for your health, so everyone can stick to it. As long as it is good for your body, you can do it. Friends who want to lose weight can take healthy methods.
