Anyone who knows something about weight loss knows that aerobic exercise can effectively burn fat. Jogging and swimming are both very good aerobic exercises.

So, do you know which one is better for losing weight, jogging or swimming?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of swimming to lose weight and jogging to lose weight?

Next, let us take a look at today’s content.

1. Swimming or running to lose weight 1. From the perspective of energy consumption, at the same intensity (heart rate), the two consume similar calories, and swimming is slightly higher than running.

2. From the perspective of joint protection, swimming can reduce the pressure on waist and knee joints.

These two joints are most susceptible to damage in people who are overweight.

The body posture during swimming determines that these joints do not need to be affected by the impact force from the ground.

Running will increase the pressure on these two joints to a great extent.

But swimming too frequently can increase the chance of wear and tear on your shoulder joints.

Especially freestyle and backstroke, because these two swimming styles require a large amount of rotation of the shoulder joint.

3. In terms of the overall weight loss effect, when swimming, especially swimming in cold water, the body is stimulated by cold and will protectively store fat to keep warm, resulting in a great increase in appetite after exercise and an unknowing increase in caloric intake afterwards.

Therefore, the overall fat loss effect is not as good as running.

Unless you stay awake at all times and control your appetite.

Or you have the habit of keeping a food diary.

Of course, this requires a strong will to complete.

2. The pros and cons of swimming and jogging. Swimming is a whole-body exercise. When you are ready for activities on the road every day, it is more reasonable to swim in the water for between 1 to 1 and a half hours.

If you swim for too long and exercise too much, the fat consumed in your body will increase, and accordingly your appetite will increase. If you control your appetite, swimming like this for a long time will produce symptoms of hypoglycemia and dizziness.

Nausea, etc. A latest British study relieves these people's worries: it is not that "the more you exercise, the more you eat". Jogging is an exercise that can achieve the effect of exercise without having to eat and drink after exercise.

Experts point out that in addition to choosing sports, exercise intensity is also critical to energy consumption and hunger after exercise. For example, people who want to lose weight may not necessarily achieve the desired results by exercising a large amount.

Research by British scholars has found that people's hunger levels are different after performing different sports such as jogging and swimming, and the types of food they want to eat are also significantly different.

For example, people usually don't feel hungry after jogging and only want to eat fruits and other foods that are rich in water but not easy to fill their stomachs.

But after swimming you usually feel hungry and want to eat something higher in fat content.

In addition, if you swim in cold water, you will feel more hungry and want to eat high-fat food; while running in warm weather will do the opposite.

Experts point out that the feeling of hunger after exercise is directly related to energy consumption. The greater the energy consumption, the more the body needs to replenish energy, and the stronger the hunger feeling. This is also a kind of self-protection of the body.

Generally speaking, people will not feel hungry after moderate exercise.

But if the exercise intensity is relatively high, people will easily feel hungry after exercise and eat more. For example, swimming consumes more energy than brisk walking or jogging for the same length of time.

Therefore, for the same exercise, different intensities have different purposes.

For example, thin people who want to exercise should increase the intensity; while people who want to lose weight should exercise appropriately to avoid feeling hungry after exercise and eating more, which is counterproductive.

In addition, you should also pay attention to your diet after exercise.

Experts remind people to drink more water first after exercise, in small amounts and many times, and the water temperature should not be too cold.

At the same time, attention should be paid to replenishing sugar and electrolytes, so the food after exercise should be mainly carbohydrates.

Generally speaking, if the exercise time does not exceed 1 hour, then the diet should be as usual.

From the perspective of the time to start eating after exercise, if the intensity of the exercise is relatively high, it is best to eat about 45 minutes or more than an hour after exercise.

If the exercise intensity is not high, you can eat about half an hour after exercise.

That is, both have their pros and cons.

It is best to use a variety of methods, which can reduce side effects on the body and make training more interesting.

Which one should be the main one and which one should be the supplement? We should focus on what we are most interested in and like the most, so that we can complete the long and arduous task of losing weight.

3. You can lose weight without going to the gym 1. Please turn off the TV remote control when eating. Don’t get me wrong, now is not the time to talk about radiation~ A latest foreign study shows that people who eat in a loud or noisy environment,

It's impossible to truly taste the subtle flavors of food.

This has two consequences: first, you will eat more food unknowingly while watching TV; second, it is difficult to taste the true taste of the food, that is, you eat too fast.

Normally, breakfast should take about 20 minutes, and lunch and dinner should take about 30-40 minutes.

Friends who have the TV on, you can think about whether a meal is often finished in ten minutes? So, turn off the TV and enjoy your food.
