There are certain tried and true methods that lead to losing weight. One of the most popular and viable methods is that of running. There is a reason why so many people swear by running. It will most definitely burn a massive amount of calories in a very short period of time. Why is this? It is because running completely engages the body in a number of ways that aid in burning calories and fat.

First and foremost, when you start running, your heart rate will increase. This will have a strong metabolic effect on the body. It will lead to the body burning a great deal more calories than it would at a lower heart rate.

Running also aid in burning fat because it has to carry a lot of weight. Specifically, the weight of your head and of your hind quarters will be pulled (slightly) by gravity when you start running. In order for your body to remain in proper posture, it pulls your head and rear against the force of gravity and makes your posture symmetrical. Extra calories are required to maintain this process.

The body will also need to repair itself after running. No, that does not mean running will cause you to experience any painful injuries. However, the muscles in the legs will be greatly worked by the running process. As such, it will need to repair itself during the resting stage. That means it will need to burn a lot of calories in order to do this.

Those that may have a little trouble running due to being out of condition should simply take things slowly. Start with walking and jogging and then work your way up to running. This prudent approach will deliver more success than trying to overwork yourself from the beginning.
