Can intense exercise help you lose weight?

Female friends all know that exercise can help you lose weight, but you may not know that excessive exercise will make your body weaker, and too much exercise will affect your breathing and make it unable to keep up with the rhythm, so we recommend that everyone should exercise appropriately. Intensive exercise not only fails to help you lose weight, it can also affect your health. We do not recommend that female friends use intense exercise to lose weight.

If the amount of exercise increases, the body's need for oxygen, nutrients and metabolic products will also increase accordingly. This requires the heart to strengthen its contraction force and frequency and increase the amount of blood output for transportation. When doing strenuous exercise, the heart output cannot meet the body's need for oxygen, causing the body to be in an oxygen-deficient anaerobic metabolic state. Anaerobic metabolic exercise does not use fat as the main energy release, but mainly relies on the decomposition of glycogen stored in the human body as energy release.

When doing aerobic exercise, the first thing that is used is the glycogen stored in the human body to release energy. After 30 minutes of exercise, the energy released by glycogen begins to be converted into energy released by fat. After about an hour of exercise, the energy required for exercise is mainly supplied by fat.

If you want to achieve the goal of losing weight all over your body, you should do low-to-medium intensity, long-term (more than 1 hour) endurance aerobic metabolic whole-body exercise with a heart rate of 120-160 beats per minute. For example, aerobics, slow jogging, long-distance swimming, etc.

Human muscles are composed of many muscle fibers, which can be mainly divided into two categories: white muscle fibers and red muscle fibers. During exercise, such as rapid explosive training, it is mainly the white muscle fibers that are exercised. The white muscle fibers have a thicker cross-section, so the muscle groups are easy to develop and become strong. Using this method to lose weight will make your body thicker and thicker.

This article analyzes in detail that high-intensity exercise is not suitable for weight loss. We recommend that you use low-intensity exercise and diet control to lose weight. For example, you can eat more low-energy foods in your daily life, and you can use running and yoga to exercise and lose weight.
