Lose weight by consuming twice as much energy as brisk walking

Many people think that in order to lose weight, they must do strenuous exercise, but this is a huge misunderstanding. In fact, you can achieve great weight loss results by doing slow pedaling exercises while keeping a smile on your face. Although brisk walking is also an exercise that uses the feet, the energy consumed by brisk walking alone is definitely limited.

For that matter, stair climbing or ultra-slow jogging can be expected to burn about twice as much energy as brisk walking. For example, for the same distance of five kilometers, walking will consume about 150 calories, while jogging will consume 300 calories. It is said that in order to eliminate excess body fat, one must do exercise that consumes 200 to 300 calories a day. In other words, step climbing and ultra-slow jogging are the most suitable exercises for weight loss.

It’s the same five kilometers, but the energy consumed is so different!

Compare the calories consumed by brisk walking and ultra-slow jogging for 5 kilometers (taking a person weighing 60 kg as an example). The difference in energy consumed by a person weighing 60 kg when walking 5 kilometers and ultra-slow jogging for 5 kilometers.
