[Healing Log] Recommended for people who hate exercise! The effects and health benefits of slow jogging
You think you should exercise, but you can't keep it up...If that sounds like you, we recommend slow jogging, which is more effective than walking and not as hard as jogging!
We will introduce how to do slow jogging, a health method that is popular even among people who dislike exercise, and its specific effects.
What is slow jogging?
Slow jogging, as the name suggests, is jogging at a slower speed. You move forward slowly, but your feet keep a steady rhythm. Specifically, one of the characteristics of slow jogging is that you move forward in short steps, about half your normal stride length. Thanks to this way of running, slow jogging doesn't tire you out as much as regular jogging, and you don't get out of breath. This means you can keep running to the end without giving up halfway through. The ideal idea is to run with enough space to chat with the person next to you.
Slow jogging is a popular health method
Slow jogging is easier than regular jogging, but it is said to burn 1.6 times more calories than walking, so you can definitely burn more calories than normal walking.
At the same time, it is less likely to cause muscle pain, so there is no damage even if you do it every day.
Even if you start exercising, your motivation will drop if you have muscle pain and your body doesn't move the way you want it to.
There is also the aspect that people who do not move their bodies much on a regular basis, such as those who do desk work, are more likely to suffer from muscle pain.
Slow jogging is a health method that is recommended for people of all ages and genders, as it allows even those who tend to avoid such exercise to move their bodies without straining themselves.
Aerobic exercise for a slimmer body
The benefits of slow jogging go beyond just relieving lack of exercise. For women who are concerned about their beauty or those who are worried about their chubby figure, the diet benefits are also not to be overlooked.
Slow jogging is one of the aerobic exercises that is said to be the most effective for burning fat in the body, so the longer you continue, the more fat you can burn as energy.
By making slow jogging a habit, you can lose excess fat and tone your body.
Furthermore, by requiring more oxygen during slow jogging, our bodies work harder to deliver blood to every corner of the body, promoting blood circulation and improving metabolism throughout the body.
When your metabolism improves, your body's ability to convert fat into energy also improves, making it easier for you to lose weight.
This will make it less likely that you will regain the weight even after you stop paying particular attention to your diet, and will make it easier to maintain your beautiful figure.
Promotes cell turnover and has a skin-beautifying effect
Increasing your metabolism means that your skin's regenerative function, known as turnover, will also become more active.
It helps remove old dead skin cells and regenerates your skin, so you can always keep your skin smooth and beautiful.
When your skin is in good condition, makeup will naturally go on better, making your natural makeup look even better than ever before.
This is a good point for women.
When we think of skin care, we tend to imagine something that is replenished from the outside, but by continuing to slow jog, you can achieve beautiful skin from the inside out.
Increased endurance makes you less likely to get tired
Did you know there are two types of muscles?
There are two types of muscles: "fast-twitch muscles" that are primarily responsible for movements that require explosive power, and "slow-twitch muscles" that support endurance.
Fast-twitch muscles can be trained through strength training such as push-ups, while slow-twitch muscles can be trained through aerobic exercise, including the slow jogging we will introduce here.
By training your slow-twitch muscles, your physical strength will improve and your body will become less prone to fatigue.
You will be able to live your daily life with more energy and you will be more motivated to exercise, so it's a win-win situation.
Slow jogging is best done before breakfast
The best time to get the most out of the slow jogging we introduced this time is before breakfast.
We normally make energy from glucose, but when we run out of glucose, we use fat to make energy.
Before breakfast, when the body has the lowest glucose levels of the day, is the perfect time for those who want to burn fat.
Whether you're on a diet or just want to stay healthy, try making slow jogging before breakfast a daily habit.
