What to look for when choosing between running and walking?
First of all, it is worth determining fitness level… If you have problems with obesity, cardiovascular system, spine and joints, thenyou need to exclude running.
You also need to proceed out of character… Someone wants to walk, but someone loves vigorous workouts. Despite this, many still chase after a slender body and torture themselves with intense jogging. But this approach is definitely not useful.
“We must do everything on the hunt. If walking is your thing, exercise. It also helps you lose weight, ”says Maria.
How to walk properly for maximum efficiency?
To begin with – agree with yourself. Recognize that you will have to take a little longer to adjust to the intense walking. Fat burning begins only with a pulse of 120-130 beats per minute. At the same time, you will definitely not harm your health. And this is the main thing!
If you feel great and are hardy, then I advise you to run. Firstly, such an organism needs a good load. Secondly, the process of throwing off extra pounds will go faster.
The trainer claims that it is best to combine cycling with running in order to give the body a load on different muscle groups (bottom and top).
Cycling also has a place to be. It’s good if you combine them with running. This scheme will allow you to quickly approach the ideal form. Since cycling and running are all related to cardio. If we talk about what exactly is more effective for losing weight, then, of course, running.
How should the load be increased?
Maria told how to start running for beginners: “If you have already mastered walking, then try to increase your pace periodically. This also needs to be done consciously and calmly. See how your body feels when you gain speed. If you do not have shortness of breath, dizziness and fainting, then gradually you can approach a full-fledged cardio workout. Remember that the body needs to get used to it. “
