Jog & Lose Weight

Should I jog in order to lose weight? How many minutes should I be jogging for? This is a difficult question to answer as it will depend on the individual and their present fitness level, body weight, joint health, calorie reduction levels, etc. There are numerous variables that need to be taken into account. However, we believe you should always judge your ability to jog before starting.   We have listed several things to consider before thinking about running to lose weight. 1. Think about how heavy you are before jogging to lose weight. Very heavy individuals may struggle to jog for 20 minutes, and therefore may not keep it up for regular exercise sessions. Also, if jogging is too much hard work, your body will burn more carbohydrates for fuel and this will often cause intense hunger after the workout, and when the body attempts to replace used up glycogen (carbohydrate) stores. Heavier individuals will also place more strain on their joints, this will be looked at in section 3 below.   2. Assess your present fitness level first. Jogging takes a fair amount of effort in order to keep it up for 20 minutes and beyond, thus you need a certain level of fitness to be able to jog effectively for long enough to burn sufficient calories which will help burn off stored fat. Jogging is a difficult exercise for even light individuals to be able to complete a 30 minute jog.   3. Think about how strong your joints are before starting a jogging program. Jogging will place a great deal of strain on your knees, hips and ankles. If you were to jog more than 3 times each week, you could end up with an injury that limits your ability to continue exercising to burn off further calories for weight loss. Even if you’re ok on all 3 points above, you should still start off with a less intense exercise for the first few weeks and build up to a jog session gradually. A good way is to walk for a week or two, then walk quickly for another week, and then maybe do a light jog intermittently during one of the walks. You should also make sure you’re getting plenty of rest in between each exercise session so you can recover the joints and muscles.   Some tips for jogging. Try to jog on grass rather than concrete paths. Grass will give a softer impact and may help reduce the potential for injury. Although, BE AWARE that jogging on grass could result in a minor accident if your foot lands awkwardly on a lump, small hole, mud patches or debris from trees, so you may need to find a flat field to jog on as well as keep aware of the terrain ahead! Do not jog on consecutive days. You need to give the joints and muscles plenty of time to recover fully. So jogging every day is NOT recommended, it would be better to jog on alternate days, and preferably jog only twice each week or less. If you need to burn extra calories you could always complete a different exercise that doesn’t strain the joints as much, rowing or swimming are good examples. Always wear the correct footwear when jogging. Some trainers are better suited for running than others. Make sure you pick the best footwear designed for running. Preferably jog on a treadmill with a training partner nearby. Treadmills are better suited for running as you can do the session indoors (or at gym) and away from pollution (in cities), dangers on the roads, and danger of uneven grounds, as well as other potential problems. A training partner will help encourage you and also be there if anything bad does happen. Always warm up thoroughly before a jogging session!     Jogging & Weight Loss Exercises You must seek approval from your doctor before starting any new diet. Please read our Terms!
