There is a general thinking that doing cardio is a way better
way for losing weight than just walking. In this article we are going to
present you the reasons why walking is a more efficient method for losing
pounds than running.
1.
While doing cardio, muscle and fat
calories are burnt. While you are running, the body isn’t able to burn the
calories that should be burnt. Instead, the muscle mass is decreased. This
isn’t toyour advantage since muscles burn more calories.
2. When doing cardio exercises, there is an
increasing of the production of cortisol- a stress hormone that leads to a
bigger want of food. This happens because there is a need for overcompensation
for the calories that were burnt.
3.
In
the end, you will consume even more calories than you lost. You become
leptin-resistant if you do excessive cardio work. This condition is the same as
having a lack of sleep caused by hormones.
4.
In
5.
Doing
cardio exercises can negatively influence the normal function of the thyroid.
The thyroid produces a T4 hormone for normal metabolism. This hormone is
transformed into a T3 hormone in order to help the metabolism.
6.
When
producing too much cortisol the thyroid is not able to create T4. The result is
a dysfunctional metabolism, lower level of energy and lower capacity for
burning fats.
7.
3. People who are overweight can experience a
negative influence from running especially on their knees and other joints.
8.
Overall,
cardio can be the reason for muscle mass reduction, imbalance of the hormones,
and not so fast metabolism. All this can result in gaining weight and as
previously mentioned it can negatively influence the knees of overweight
people.
9.
Walking
is considered to be way more healthy although it doesn’t have the same effects
in calorie burning as the running has. In contrast to running, the walking
lowers the cortisol.
10. Walking doesn’t result in food cravings and
feeling of hunger as the running does. It also creates dopamine and serotonin
that stimulate the feeling of motivation and happiness.
11. So, we advise you to walk as much as
you can. Spend 30 to 60 minutes walking, three times a week. Gradually
make it six times a week. Instead of doing cardio exercises go walking as it
will relieve the stress you feel daily.
12. If you dream of having an attractive looking
body, do metabolic resistance exercises . 20 to 30 minutes of exercising will
be enough. Combine this with an appropriate diet and forget running.
