Any exercise is good exercise, but if you want to lose weight, it’s hard to beat running. After all, running is one of the most best ways to burn calories and get fit without having to restrict your diet.
Running works even when you’re at rest. High-intensity exercise like running stimulates more “afterburn” than low-intensity exercise.
Running is time-efficient. It is a myth that running a mile and walking a mile burn the same number of calories.
Running is convenient. You don’t need any equipment but a pair of running shoes.
Runner’s high. Scientists have found links between moderate to intense exercise and morphine-like brain chemicals called endocannabinoids. When exercising for weight loss remember if you don’t enjoy it, you won’t stick with it.
