How long to run to lose weight?


Whenrunning on a treadmill, the body draws energy from carbohydrates provided in meals during the day (stored in the muscles as glycogen) and from fats.
 It is assumed that during the first 30 minutes of training, carbohydrates and fats are burned in a ratio of 8: 2. After about 30 minutes, the proportions are reversed and the body draws energy in 80% from fat tissue and in 20% from carbohydrates.
 For this reason, the optimal time to exercise on the treadmill is about 45 minutes if the condition allows, it is worth extending the training by a few or several minutes.
Treadmill training is most often done in the afternoon or evening because most of us simply don't have time for morning training. It is better to train in the morning - metabolic processes take place more quickly in a rested body. Of course, the most important thing is regularity, if it is strictly observed, evening workouts will give excellent results in slimming.


How do you exercise on the treadmill?


Treadmill training requires an appropriate technique and compliance with several rules:
  • Always warm-up before training, and at the end do some stretching exercises
  • Standing on the frame of the running belt, turn on the treadmill, set the lowest speed of the belt and only then get on the running belt
  • Run in the middle of the belt to give yourself the most training space and the best cushioning thanks to the treadmill systems
  • Keep your figure straight, don't look under your feet when running
  • While running, do not hold the handles and handrails - use them only when climbing on and off the belt, changing settings on the console and checking the pulse on the touch sensors
  • Do not read while running, the best variety to training is listening to rhythmic music. Count how many steps per minute you do on the treadmill (on average 150-160 steps are performed), try to do about 180-190 steps per minute to burn calories faster
