Achieve your weight goal through running

Have you ever tried to lose weight by running? If you haven’t, then maybe it’s time you bought some trainers and took to your heels while the sun is still shining. While at it, or if you have already discovered this beautiful weight-loss programme, here are seven ways to ensure that you are pushing your limits on and off the road.

1. Increase mileage

To burn more calories, consider increasing your running mileage. After all, it’s always a great idea to challenge yourself with something absolutely new, isn’t it? If you usually run short distances, try longer ones. Not only will you drop the kilos, but also reach a new fitness goal.

2. Do it in intervals

Interval training helps boost your metabolism and burn more calories without exhausting yourself. Start running at your maximum speed for about five to six minutes, and then jog for one to two minutes. Do it five to six times for a perfect running workout that will help you boost your endurance, improve mental strength as well as burn plenty of calories.

3. Make it intense

When it comes to losing the kilos, it’s important to push yourself when you run. Try to increase your intensity and over time, the body will adjust, and it will be easier to run longer distances. Don’t be afraid to challenge your body. You will burn lots of unwanted calories and drop those unwanted kilos.

4. Watch your diet

Just because you run each day doesn’t mean you can eat what you want. Healthy eating never hurts, whether you want to lose weight or not. You can run long distances, increase your intensity and burn many calories, but you won’t lose weight if you don’t stick to a healthy diet. So, be sure to make healthy choices and avoid fast food at all costs.

5. Go green

When you are trying to shed the extra weight, you need to add more greens to your daily eating plan. By consuming more greens each day, you will boost your fibre intake, improve your digestive health,  energy levels and drop kilos fast. Making the salad your main meal is one of the easiest ways to consume more greens daily. When in doubt, check with your mum’s ‘mboga’ menu, which is or was almost certainly on a daily basis.

6. Enjoy your run

Well, running can be hard and boring at times, but you need to learn to enjoy it. Don’t make running a chore, instead, think of it as a fun activity. If you have a super busy schedule, running is one of the best ways to have some ‘me time.’. Focus on your health and admire the beauty of nature around you. Start enjoying your runs today and you will certainly achieve your fitness goal and drop those kilos.

7. Chart that progress

It has been proven that people who weigh themselves frequently, weigh less. The urge to climb on every weighing machine can sometimes take the best of us.

But you don’t have to weigh in every hour of the day. Try to weigh in once a week and you will know where you are in your goal and what else you need to do to achieve it faster. Charting your progress regularly is the key to success. Remember it.

One of the best things about running is that it can help you drop those unwanted kilos faster as well as reduce your stress levels. Sure, you should also eat healthy to reach your goal. So keep at it.
