You can jog literally anywhere. However, if you’re looking for a way to maximize the benefits and burn more calories in your process, there are simple tricks that can help you burn twice as many calories.
Walking, Running, Jogging – Choosing an uphill route will increase the intensity of your aerobic exercise and improve your results. If you’re jogging and you’re losing extra kilometers and getting your waistline straight, increase your pace and distance, or start jogging uphill for better results. This can also help dodge the highly feared weight loss plateau. You can also target and activate more muscles in your lower body while leaning.
Want to know how to incorporate uphill jogging into your routine? It’s easy.
First, find the hills in your area where you can start. Try to find a place a little higher than the ground. You can start from there. Start jogging slowly until you reach the top. Then slowly walk down to where you started. This will lower your heart rate and allow you to hold your breath. Repeat this for 3-5 rounds.
If you don’t have access to the hills, try using a treadmill for a tilting effect. Set the machine to 1.5-2.5% and start jogging at a faster pace than you can sustain for 1 minute. Then slow down the pace for 1-2 minutes and repeat for 15-20 minutes.
