Treadmill Exercise

Treadmill Exercise

Are You Able To Run Your Fat Away With a Treadmill Exercise?

Every day I hear folk let me know they are doing a running treadmill exercise for their cardiovascular. When I ask them how long they spend running I get answers that differ from 20 minutes to hours. I'm wondering if these folks do cardiovascular because they love running, or has someone persuaded them that they can burn away all their body fat doing it?

I assume the majority of them run for the benefit of fat reduction, and very few of them actually like running. The appalling reports for the ones that run for weight reduction is it does very little to help them burn the calories. Read on and I will explain.

Did you know that you can basically use up more calories walking instead of running? In some instances running and walking can burn awfully close to the same calories. What matters is the rate in which you do each activity.

Total Running calories Spent = (Body weight in pounds) x (0.75) x (Distance in miles)

Total Walking calories Spent = (Body weight in pounds) x (0.53) x (Distance in miles)

Nevertheless The speed at which you run doesn't influence the amount of calories being spent. Against this, you use up more calories the quicker you walk. When you reach 5 miles per hour, you start burning more calories per hour walking than you do running.

Hence some where between 4 and 5 miles an hour walking starts burning more calories than running does. There's also less injury to those that walk. The worse news about running or walking is the few calories that are really burned doing either.

How many calories do you lose doing a treadmill exercise?

Let's say you weigh 180 pounds and you walk or run at 5 miles an hour for 2.5 miles which burns around 337 calories. That would take you around 30 minutes of hard running.

The formula looks like this 180 pounds x 0.75 x 2.5 miles = 337.50

When you measure it like that, you did not get much of a payoff in burned calories for the 30 minutes of treadmill exercise you put in. If you weighed even less, your calories burned would be less. That's hideous results for those that believe doing 30 minutes of treadmill exercise will help them keep fit. The reality is you would burn around 80 calories just sleeping for an hour.

Yes, doing something is better than doing nothing, but such a bit of calories burned is a drop in the bucket for all that work.

Treadmill Exercise vs. Good Diet

If you're eating a horrible a hideous diet and overeating, running yourself to death doing treadmill exercises will never help. The sole way to burn up fat and lose weight is by eating less calories than your burn. No kind of walking or running will make a dramatic impact until you find an eating plan that can you can you can stick to.

The very best way to reduce fat and keep it off is to discover a diet where you eat less calories than you burn. Eat Stop Eat is a diet that does just that , and lets you eat the foodstuff you like while losing the fat.

Jogging or walking is fine and can help you burn even more calories. Since the payoff is low you might want to leave the treadmill exercise for your hamster and use Eat Stop Eat to shed pounds. By combining a great eating program along with your cardiovascular exercises,the fat will be gone in no time and you will have a plan to keep it off for life.
