How much time should I jog to lose weight?

Jogging is an aerobic activity. Continuous jogging for a long time and controlling your heart rate can help burn fat continuously. Especially for girls who are physically exhausted, the question of how much time they should jog to achieve the effect of weight loss is more important. How long should you jog to lose weight without causing muscle soreness and causing waste to the body?

Generally speaking, aerobic exercise lasting more than 20 minutes can consume all the sugar in the body, and only then will fat begin to break down and provide energy. Therefore, members are advised to exercise for 30-60 minutes per aerobic exercise session. Fat cannot be consumed in less than 30 minutes, and the body’s fatigue is difficult to recover from if it exceeds 60 minutes.

Losing weight through exercise is less likely to make you gain weight again than losing weight through dieting because the metabolism of lean muscle tissue is stronger after exercise. However, when it comes to losing weight, haste makes waste and it requires perseverance. It is recommended to jog 2 to 3 times a week, at least 30 minutes each time. The weight loss effect varies from person to person.

In addition, please note the following points:

1. Warm up before jogging and cool down after jogging

Jogging is effective for weight loss and can burn a lot of calories, but there are also many things to note. However, jogging requires strengthening warm-up exercises to enhance ligament elasticity and joint flexibility, otherwise, if you are not careful, you may suffer sports injuries such as muscle strain and sprain.

2. It is strictly forbidden to eat a lot after exercise

After exercise, you will want to eat very much. If you can't resist the temptation of delicious food at this time, your exercise will be in vain. It is recommended to eat 1 to 2 hours after jogging.

3. During exercise, you should always pay attention to replenishing water. Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink water. If you don't have time to replenish water, people with poor health are likely to become dehydrated.

Through the above analysis by the editor, we know that jogging for more than 30 minutes will start to burn fat, and more than 60 minutes will easily cause muscle soreness and muscle strain. If it exceeds two hours, garbage and waste will be produced in the body, and water and electrolyte metabolism will be affected. Therefore, it is best to control running to 30 to 40 minutes!
