Does regular running help you lose weight?
Of course it helps! Moreover, this is one of the best methods, let me explain. Running is one of the most affordable types of training, especially for weight loss, it is quite expensive and in order to start fat lipolysis (fat splitting), you first need to spend the primary source of energy - glycogen. This glycogen is stored in the muscles and liver, it is almost absent in the morning, so you will quickly switch to aerobic fat oxidation, in simple terms, you will run "on fat". Otherwise, you will have to run at least half an hour at a solid pace to burn this glycogen in the muscles, and then, there may be a release of the hormone glucagon and the liver will begin to share its glycogen, then you will need at least half an hour more. Also, women often have thighs and especially buttocks are "problem areas", that is, they are harder to get fat, I think you do not need to write further. It is also the elasticity of the same muscles. Another advantage is that after cardio is almost always a couple hours for sure not want to have to add to this, that the balance of the hunger hormones ghrelin and leptin are normal, then you don't have to eat at least until lunchtime, but if you are working and you requires sufficient mental effort, then there should definitely eat carbs(not necessarily sweet, it's a stereotype that the brain can not without the sweet and glucose is only obtained from there), so that the body has processed them in the same glycogen and glucose and you're not retarded). If you have limited time in the morning, then of course it is better to run out in 20-30 minutes after waking up, after only brushing your teeth and drinking a few glasses of water and doing a warm-up. If you can do a run a couple of hours after waking up, this is the best option, because you do not want to eat before it, and after you can also not eat until lunch without discomfort. You need to run at a comfortable pace and average distances, for a start 2-3 kilometers will be enough. With such a load, you will not have fatigue and fatigue the next day and you will be able to run daily and get pleasure from it(Yes, it is possible and explains scientifically).So: you can and should Run for weight loss! It is best to run in the morning, before work or 2-3 hours after waking up.you can not eat after waking up before running , only after. You need to run in a comfortable pulse zone, start with short distances and do not in any case try to immediately be a hero and run fast, long, etc., this will result in fatigue, loss of motivation and abandonment of the case
