Most of the people try to lose weight through leisure running or jogging. Perhaps you do the same but didn’t notice much change in your waistline. You are not feeling that your health is improving. But you see images of people who are healthy doing jogging or running on national television or in health magazines. Thus you think it must work for you as well. But the truth is other way round,

It is good only on the national television, because to promote healthy lifestyle running or jogging is the best way. This is because it a type of exercise in which everyone can involve. But the experts know a little better than what is being advertised.

If you are jogging faithfully for quite some time, you must know the truth. Jogging doesn’t really help in losing weight. Jogging may help in losing weight, if you jog for 3 hours a day, you will lose weight as you will burn enough calories. But generally everybody jog for at most 20 minutes for each session which is a very short duration as compared to 3hours.

If you want to lose weight desperately then go for sprint running. It is much more effective than jogging even if you do it for 10 to 30 seconds. This is because you burn more calories as the intensity of exercise is more than that of jogging.

A study has shown proved the above fact. Two groups were asked to engage in exercise. First group was asked to engage in sprint running and other in jogging for a period of 6 weeks. After 6 weeks it was found that the jogging group achieved almost zero result but there were significant results in the sprint running group. They manage to trim down there waistline.

The findings were not astonishing. This is the reason you don’t see fit people doing jogging almost 6 days a week. They do interval training or hit the gym for the same to build strength. To improve fitness is the best and the only way to be healthy. For this you have to increase your metabolism to the expectable level. Intensity exercises boost metabolism and this is why sprint works.

This method of interval training is preferred by many weight loss experts. They have seen it working over many years and they emphasizes on it. It can be done indoor and outdoor as well. So doesn’t get disappointed if are unable to hit running tracks.
