Jogging to Lose
Weight
There are some people who believe jogging would be the
best exercise to lose
weight. Jogging is a great exercise that will help
burn plenty of
calories, increase fitness and boost
energy levels. A thirty minute jog
three times each week has helped many people control weight however, there’s
a difference between controlling weight and losing it. I personally wouldn’t
recommend jogging to lose weight, especially for a beginner or the
overweight individual.
The problem with jogging is its potential for
injury. The joints of the
knees and ankles take a great pounding from the constant impact of the foot
hitting the ground. For an overweight person, this constant stress could be
even more severe. Any potential injury could mean rest and
recovery for
weeks which means no exercising for some time, and resting is not the way
to lose weight permanently. If the dieter starts again after recovery the
injury cycle could start again.
Jogging is an exercise where the full weight of the
body is involved
with every movement. In other words, the weight must be carried, and for a
beginner this can easily make jogging more
intense than
swimming or
rowing. When exercising at higher levels of exertion the body tends to burn
more carbs, so even though a jog would burn lots of
calories it would be no
use for losing fat weight if 90% of the
calories burned are carbs!
I believe dieters should steer clear of jogging until they have lost some
weight and gained a little fitness. Then jogging can become useful for
maintaining control of body weight. It may be wise for the beginner to start
exercising using a light and low intense activity such as
walking.
Should I Jog to
Lose Weight?
* Always seek the approval of a qualified
doctor or physician before starting any new exercise, all exercises should be performed under the supervision of a qualified fitness
instructor.

ALL
DIETS WORK!
Yes,
if weight loss is all you desire, and you don't care where it comes off,
then virtually any diet will work - in the beginning stages that is.
However, if you wish to Decrease Excess Body Fat Permanently and without
Fast or Easy Regains, then NO DIET WILL EVER WORK!
The
problem is dieting actually slows the metabolism
as the body needs to burn up muscles to make up for the very low calorie
intakes.
As
Tom Venuto states in his brilliant,
New Book, the solution is to Burn the Fat Off, rather than attempting to
starve it!
