What are the benefits of running in place?

If you want to be healthy, you need to exercise. Nowadays, many young people neglect physical exercise due to their busy work schedules and many social engagements, which causes their bodies to become sub-healthy. Over time, our physical fitness will gradually decline, so we should strengthen physical exercise whenever we have time. Running is a great way to exercise, so what are the benefits of running in place for our body?

Running in place is basically the same as running outdoors, and has the following effects:

1. Enhance heart function

Long-term walking exercise can slow down and strengthen the heartbeat, and greatly increase the toughness and strength of the myocardium. This is not only beneficial for adapting to the needs of exercise, but also for better coping with emergencies. At the same time, it improves coronary blood circulation to a certain extent, thereby reducing the occurrence of myocardial infarction and heart failure.

2. Improve blood vessel function

Promoting blood circulation can enhance the elasticity of blood vessels and reduce the occurrence of blood vessel wall ruptures; since it reduces the accumulation of triglycerides and cholesterol in the arterial walls and the formation of plaques, the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents can be reduced.

3. Promotes Metabolism

Long-term walking can increase energy consumption. For example, lowering blood sugar can reduce the conversion of blood sugar into triglycerides, which is extremely beneficial for diabetes and obesity; promoting the utilization of excess fat and enhancing muscle strength makes the proportion of body fat and muscle more reasonable, thereby reducing a series of complications caused by diabetes and obesity.

4. Improve joint function

Walking is a type of exercise that requires bearing body weight, so it is particularly helpful in improving the function of lower limb bones and joints. Especially for the elderly, long-term walking can help slow down and prevent osteoporosis and delay the occurrence of degenerative osteoarthritis. In addition, it can relieve symptoms and improve joint movement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis to a certain extent.

Of course, we should exercise in moderation. Remember not to overdo it, as this will cause damage to our body. Also pay attention to the time of your exercise. Generally, it is not advisable to exercise after a meal. You can do a small amount of running on the spot half an hour after a meal. We should also control the exercise time, because if the exercise time is too long and we are too tired, it will affect our sleep quality. After exercise, we can drink some boiled water to replenish body water and keep our body in a healthy state. If we want a healthy body, let's exercise!
