Jogging (any other type of long, slow, distance learning) is not an optimal training method. It may even be evil. There I said. Here's why.
1 It does not help you look good (which is great, right?)
Time for more honesty ... The main reason people will want to start a training program to look good. Nothing wrong with that.
Of course, most people do not want to look like a professional bodybuilder and more desire to look only weakened. I suspect that an idealPhysical "weak" for most people it would be something like the bodies of models in a health magazine as "Man of health" or "Shape".
Now for the reality check ... how many people who jog (see the treadmill in the gym, or jogging on the street) look like the cover models? That's right, not many (se!). In fact, most runners look tired, bored and unhappy (oops this is only the face). Their bodies look soft, shaky and not particularly impressive.
"Oh, but maybe theyjust starting out. "Well the people who seem to be a routine jog. The same people, same distance, same place, same gym, etc. Check it out 3 months or 12 months later. Looking Yup. The same or even more fat guess would be that all we want results for all our hard work. 's not fair! But what it offers is not jogging.
What most people need to look better than we do now? 2 simple things. More muscles (yes, women - in the right places), and less fat. Scientific studies andreal-world evidence shows that it offers jogging. Without science-nerd-geek (which I like very much), here are some results of these studies. These empirical results can be seen by you in your friends who run, run as in me by my clients, before the truth can be found.
Result A: Jogging does nothing for fat loss that a good diet. Healthy food is great for fat loss. His race does not add anything. Shocker! This is not about 10 minutes per weekeither. Its 30-50 minutes three times a week! Do more than jog.
Result B: Jogging does nothing for building muscle. Jogging puts the body into "starvation mode". The body thinks, "I am in the jungle, why take time to find my way to me is lost." What is the best way to survive in the jungle? It 'used as low calorie as possible so that we can live with less food. How do we achieve? Control your body to be thrown overboard by the parties of calories. Muscles use only calories! OOPSto go there on your fat burning, calorie, good-looking muscles.
So far, jogging is good for two to zero in the search results. And it gets worse! As you jog, you get more efficient and jogging. Efficient fuel consumption is good. Efficiency in the race to look good is evil! This means that you can use a lower number of calories as the "best" to enter a race. Oh no! The reality is that you can run further and longer, almost the same amount of calories you need is accustomed. Thismeans not only that jogging works, it works the other way!
2 jogging will not help in the "game" of life
OK several real life. I am only to book my stay in the army. All people of Singapore to do this service for our nation. I am an engineer of the army. We build things, and we blow up stuff. In our training we have ever had to run to succeed in our missions. All of our main tasks were the relative strength. At no time would help to run my men, or do thisTasks successfully.
When was the last time you had to wake up and walk 10 km. Never? Yup, me neither. But just like my story about Army stuff is real life-force! The use of a growing child is a task force. Then he changed a tire for cars, furniture moving parts, sprint after the bus if you arrive late, go up the stairs when the elevator is full, this list is very long.
Another consideration is real life entertainment. Most people have poor posture. We are sotoo much time spent at the computer at work and at school. This can cause pain, headaches, neck pain and back (well not to look as good as it could). Unfortunately, this is the head forward posture to take in oxygen while jogging and efficient for many runners. Jogging sun makes a bad situation even worse!
The next step is an experience that makes you think. I spent some time in a place where seniors gather for social support and play simple. It 'was veryclear that the elderly were happy and healthy, strong, mobile and able to take care of themselves, without assistance have been. I managed to shake her hand, which were still in good condition and to tell the other with poor health. I want to be my last breath and I strongly suspect that you are well.
The game of life is a long way. And many elderly people are bedridden or property left with debilitating health conditions. Guess what is the aerobic capacity is not a determining factor in the quality of ourLife as we age. Two main determinants of quality of life of an elderly person is leg strength and grip strength. These are indicators of upper and lower body strength and power (strength and power especially fast if you do not train specifically for them to do, how we lost age). These are maintained through strength training, not slow jogging. Many seniors are immobilized due to falls and accidents, which are characterized by a lack of strength, not because they ran out of air because they have a greaterScale.
3 Jogging is not great for your health
There is a saying I like "Do not rush to get fit, fit to run." It 'true, more than half of all people starting a jogging program, a violation within 6 weeks. This is higher than the majority of contact or high-risk sports such as rugby, American football or auto racing!
First there is the question of the strength of the foot. Most people who wear shoes all day and feet are so weak. Ankle, heel and sole of foot injuries such asfaciatis are common, because your feet most people are not willing to take the pounding.
Moves to the knee. Every strike foot hits 3-6 times the body weight. Everything depends on the operating time of mechanics, footwear, and the tread. 3 times is a low estimate. Many times we have bad mechanics, bad choice of shoes and surfaces too hard. Combine this with poor technique and muscle activation patterns (also caused by poor posture and an inactive lifestyle) and the knees take more of themfair share of influence. For women who are naturally wider hips and knee problems mean less than ideal biomechanics also more common in women joggers.
Poor pelvic alignment also means the lower back is too the effects on the ground. With the right training, rehabilitation and changes in their exercise routine, not only these questions go away, but they get great results (for example, look great and are without pain).
What can we do? Well, I always recommend sprints (fast striding or higher)experience for my clients. Or sprints on a stationary bike for the ladies and less experienced customers. These are made in interval mode, for example, 30 sec run / sprint. 90 sec run. This shop our joints (running fast is not difficult for our muscles, joints, and there are fewer number of strokes), with good results (there we go, the results again! You are important!).
Jogging is certainly better than watching TV or surfing the Internet all day. But it is really a very small advantageActivities, the potential risks in comparison. There are much better alternatives such as sprint cycling, walking fast (if you're well-conditioned athletes), and total body strength with little breaks. All of these alternatives offer advantages much more than jogging, doing less time (very important for the long-term success), and more fun (also important for the long-term success).
Conclusion:
I hope that joggers do not take this article a personal attack. I do not mean towell. It 's just that in a fast-paced culture (with little time for exercise) and with the current level of living conditions of inactivity, obesity and other health professionals can not afford to do something less than optimal training. Although we are blessed with a lot of time, why should we do anything less than what is ideal! Get off that treadmill and a resistance training program and well-designed range.
