Do you need to go to the gym every day to exercise? Study: 30 minutes of aerobic exercise a day can help you lose weight

Do I have to exercise hard every day and feel exhausted to lose weight? According to the latest Danish research, if you exercise for 30 minutes a day, no more, no less, you may lose weight more efficiently than spending the whole day in the gym or exercising for a long time. You may lose 1.9 pounds (0.86 kg) more than those who exercise for a long time, and you may be more willing to actively give up your bad habits and turn to a healthy diet and lifestyle.

30 minutes of aerobic exercise every day can help you lose weight

According to a report in the British Telegraph, in a study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Public Health, the University of Copenhagen in Denmark divided 60 moderately obese men into two groups. One group did 30 minutes of aerobic exercise every day, such as jogging and cycling; the other group extended the exercise time to 1 hour. After 3 months, the men in the first group lost 7.9 pounds and the men in the second group lost 6 pounds. People who exercised for only 30 minutes could lose more weight.

Professor Bente Stallknecht, who led the research, said that the original purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between the calories consumed and the calories taken in by the human body, but it had an unexpected result. It was found that the exercise time was not proportional to the calories consumed by the body.

Fast, fierce, accurate, high-intensity exercise is more popular

There have been many related studies on high-intensity exercise in the past. Coupled with the fast pace of modern life, more and more people are turning to short-term, fast-acting high-intensity exercise. A research report from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology pointed out that just 12 minutes of intensive high-intensity exercise per week (divided into 3 times, 4 minutes each time) can effectively increase the body's oxygen storage and lower blood pressure. On average, every additional minute of high-intensity exercise for women can reduce their BMI by 0.7.

Fast, fierce and accurate, high-intensity exercise is more popular.

McMaster University in the United States has developed a high-intensity training method, which requires 3 minutes of exercise per week and the time can be adjusted at will, 30 seconds each time, for a total of 6 times, or 20 seconds each time, for a total of 9 times. After 4 weeks of high-intensity training, there were significant changes in blood pressure and maximum oxygen uptake. The weight did not decrease during the exercise, but decreased by 2 pounds when the exercise was stopped.
