Revealed! The reason why I keep running but don’t lose weight

More and more young girls like to lose weight by jogging, which can not only achieve the effect of bodybuilding and slimming, but also increase their physical fitness. However, as long as you implement this way of weight loss, you will encounter a "wall period". Even if you run more and longer, your weight will not fall off! Why is that?

First of all, you must realize that your body is actually quite powerful. It can adapt to any physical changes you bring to it. This is the most fundamental reason why many girls do not lose weight in the later stages of running! Because your metabolic system will also "learn", when you get used to exercise of a certain intensity and fatigue, your body will be able to cope with it without consuming as many calories as before, so this is why running to lose weight is usually only effective in the first week.

Maybe you have:

The idea of ​​running one more kilometer when you encounter the wall period! Let me tell you, this idea is wrong! If you run too long, you may even get fat. Let me first explain why running longer does not necessarily make you lose weight. As mentioned above, the metabolic system will get used to it, so if you always jog within the "easy range that the body can bear", you will only feel that your physical strength has improved after running, and at most it will help maintain your current weight. If you want to truly break through the weight loss wall period, you should speed up your running speed within the same exercise time to help burn fat.

Here you have to accept a new fact:

Everything you do in your daily life burns calories more easily than exercise! The energy we need to sleep, eat, and think is definitely beyond your imagination. The reason why "exercise" can make you lose weight is that exercise allows your body to produce muscles. The tighter the body and the more muscles we have, the more calories we need to consume when we are active. So it is not exercise that makes you thin, but the muscles produced during exercise allow you to metabolize more calories when chatting, eating and sleeping in your daily life.

In summary, the muscles that can be formed by running are quite limited, especially when you continue to run at the same speed, your figure can only be "maintained" but not "slimmed down". At this time, you might as well try cycling! Experiments have shown that compared with running, cycling is more helpful for muscle shaping and calorie consumption. But girls don’t have to worry about becoming a "muscle girl" because as long as you do proper stretching after exercise, you won’t have carrot legs!
