Running is the best exercise for losing weight

Running, its really not fun but we all know how much of a sweat it produces when we try it. Running is the best exercise you could possibly do when you are on a diet. Running is based on burning calories rather than cutting them, which means your burning off fat rather than transforming it into big biceps.

The greatest thing about running is that even in any busy schedule there really is always a time for a run. Even a quick 15 minute run could benefit your health and your weight loss journey in the short and long term. The fact that the only equipment you need are shoes and comfortable clothes is also great, who doesn't have these?

The benefits of running for your health are really very clear to see. During a session your lungs become more efficient at using oxygen, your heart becomes more efficient at pumping blood and your muscles gain strength and endurance. However make sure to stretch your legs before you start a run as your joins in your legs (knees, ankle) are very sensitive and the slightest off balance could do damage that could keep you off the tracks for months.

With all this in mind I hope your already in your joggers getting ready for a run!
