Is it good to run on a treadmill?

Physical exercise is now receiving more and more attention from people. Many white-collar workers choose to go to the gym or buy a treadmill at home, so that they can exercise and run at home and control the speed. Not only is it more convenient, but it also saves money on going to the gym. But some people expressed concerns about whether running on a treadmill is good or not.

The intensity of your exercise determines the purpose of your exercise. Losing weight requires low-intensity, long-duration exercise, which can consume fat and calories, while high-intensity exercise will make your muscles more and more developed. This is why some people become slimmer the more they exercise, while others become stronger. The fundamental reason is the different intensities chosen.

When people perform low-intensity exercise, fat is the main source of energy. Therefore, the fat burning and weight loss program on the treadmill will guide people to perform long-term low-intensity exercise.

Studies have found that when walking briskly on a treadmill, about 50% of the calories consumed come from fat burning; if you run briskly, only 35% of the calories consumed come from fat burning. If you want to double the calories you burn, try climbing a hill.

Experts remind that whether it is a treadmill or a sports venue such as a park or playground, it is best for the elderly not to try a slope that is too steep to avoid damaging the knee joints.

If you find that you have gained weight after an exercise, it may be caused by drinking too much water after the exercise; if your weight increases after exercising for a period of time, it may be that the proportion of muscle has increased and the proportion of fat has decreased.

Due to the high density of muscles, muscles of the same volume are much heavier than fat, so even though the weight has rebounded, the weight loss effect has actually been achieved. "Any long-term exercise is effective for weight loss, and weight loss is also a gradual process. Generally speaking, a weight loss of less than 1 kilogram per week is more appropriate." said the expert.

Not only can you run on a treadmill, you can also adjust the speed by yourself. Choosing brisk walking can also achieve the purpose of burning fat, and the effect may even be better than running. Therefore, using a treadmill to exercise is a good choice, and it can be used by everyone in the family, which is not so convenient in the gym. There is nothing wrong with a treadmill being a good choice. You can also go out for some outdoor exercise.
