However, jogging requires strengthening warm-up exercises to enhance ligament elasticity and joint flexibility, otherwise, if you are not careful, you may suffer sports injuries such as muscle strain and sprain.

Be sure to do cool-down exercises after jogging, because after intense exercise, a lot of blood will be concentrated in the lower limbs and muscles.

The weight loss effect varies from person to person.
