Jogging – A Great Way To Burn Calories
By admin | July 18, 2009
Let’s be honest – jogging is a great way to stay in shape, be and stay healthy and live well. But not everyone knows how to start jogging, so please read more about jogging for beginners. This activity not only helps you maintain a healthy weight, it also raises heart and lung efficiency and greatly reduces the risk of osteoporosis in years to come.
If you’re serious about getting in shape and shedding those extra pounds, jogging is the way to go. The great thing about this activity is that it not only sheds a lot of calories while jogging, it also burns calories hours after you actually finish your exercise. This helps boost up your metabolism, which also helps burn calories.
Another great benefit is – jogging builds muscles, and muscles burn more calories than fat. When you put all this together, you have yourself more than one way of burning extra calories, therefore, losing weight.
Calories burned while jogging greatly depend on your jogging tempo and how much you weigh. We always recommend that beginners start slowly, alternating between walking and jogging. Following is a table of some basic guidelines.
