Can jogging really help you lose weight?

I believe everyone is familiar with the effects and benefits of running. Running not only enhances our physical fitness but also helps us lose weight. But there are many ways to run in life, including sprinting and jogging. Compared with sprinting, many people will question whether jogging can help us lose weight. In fact, jogging can help us lose weight, provided that you master the method of jogging.

Key point 1: Running with your shoulder blades

Move your arms. As long as your shoulder blades move, your hands will follow.

Most people rely on the strength of their feet when running. In fact, as long as you swing your shoulder blades, your steps will become easier. You need to swing your arms when running, but in fact, when swinging your arms, you should also straighten your chest, pull your arms back, and swing the muscles from your shoulder blades to your shoulders. As long as the shoulder blades move, the force will be transmitted through the spine to the pelvis, allowing the feet to move forward. By learning this feeling, you can build upper body strength.

Key point 2: Running with your chest

Convert running energy into propulsion

People often hunch their backs, causing their chests to retract or looking downward while running, which wastes energy while running. To convert energy into forward force, the most important thing is to lean your upper body forward. When running, look into the distance as if your head is being pulled diagonally upwards, while straightening your back and chest. Just imagine your chest crossing the finish line and you will be able to run easily.

TIPS: Keep your hands on your chest while running

Straighten your back and chest, put one hand on your chest; as if you want to press your upper body on this hand, lean your chest forward while running.

Key point 3: Use your abdominal muscles to run

TIPS: Keep your hands on your lower abdomen while running

When running, be sure to keep your belly button at the same point and place your hands on your lower abdomen (10cm below your belly button). Feel the impact of landing, which is actually transmitted deep into the abdomen.

Any running method, whether fast or slow, has its own way of movement. If you want to lose weight by jogging, you must master the method. I hope the jogging method mentioned above can be helpful to you. However, if you want to lose weight, in addition to jogging, you should also pay more attention to your diet in daily life.
