Weight Loss Tip: no.229

Add running to your exercise program.

Care to guess why?

Yup, exercise can help supplement weight loss when it’s combined with a diet that reduces food intake. And running in particular can facilitate weight loss because it burns more calories than many other types of exercise due to the demand of energy it places on the body, such as the heart, lungs, and assortment of muscles that are involved in the activity. The calorie-burning effect of running is even more pronounced when performing sprint intervals instead of running at the same pace throughout. Known as high-intensity interval training (HIIT), cycling between periods of running at all-out effort and less intense activity not only burns more calories per minute but also results in the body continuing to burn calories long after.
