Running For Weight Loss - Tip To Lose Weight Fast

You may have heard that running for weight loss is a great way to lose the extra around your middle. And you are right! Running can help you burn calories almost better than any other exercise you can do, except for maybe cross country skiing.

Running For Weight Loss

Here is the best tip I have found that help you get the fastest weight loss from running.

Ready for it?

You have to mix in some running interval training with your regular running.

Huh?

There is more than one way to run?

Yep!

This way of working out is also called sprint interval training and high intensity interval training (HIIT). Long slow runs every day will just not give you the best weight loss results. To really amp up your calorie burn and lose weight much more quickly, at least every other day you want to do some HIIT.

How do you run intervals?

- Warm up for 3-5 minutes jogging

- Then you do 6-10 repetitions of 1 minute high intensity running followed by 1 minute low intensity recovery running

- Then cool down for 3-5 minutes of comfortable jogging.

The entire training should last between 20-30 minutes max.

What does this training do for you?

a - helps you burn fat at a faster rate during your workout

b - helps you burn calories long after your workout is done. Your RMR or Resting Metabolic Rate may be elevated for as long as 24 hours after an interval training running session. Thus giving you a nice long afterburn effect. You won't get this effect with a traditional steady easy jogging session.
