I believe that people with certain fitness experience have heard that aerobic exercise is good for reducing fat and anaerobic exercise is good for shaping, so many female friends will choose aerobic exercise to lose weight. In order to make the fitness effect better and more significant, many people will choose to do aerobic exercise on an empty stomach, so what are the benefits?
Benefits of aerobic exercise on an empty stomach
Some university studies have indeed confirmed that jogging on an empty stomach in the morning can consume 20% more fat. Because the blood sugar in the body is too low, it will convert fat into glucose as fuel faster, but at the same time it will burn more muscles. Therefore, it is suggested that you can eat some high-protein foods or supplements before jogging on an empty stomach in the morning to prevent muscle loss. If the goal is to gain muscle, jogging on an empty stomach in the morning may not be a good choice.
Matters needing attention in aerobic exercise to lose weight
First, the exercise plan is too boring.
There are many kinds of exercises to lose weight. If you practice the same exercise every day, you will soon get bored, give up and not last long.
Second, water shortage.
Before exercise, not only can you not exercise on an empty stomach, but you can't lack water at the same time, but it doesn't mean that you should drink plenty of water before exercise, but you need to drink some water properly to avoid lack of water during exercise.
Third, there is no warm-up in advance.
When many people do morning exercises, they just throw themselves into all the exercises after getting up without any warm-up exercises, so it is easy to get injured because they start exercising in a daze in the morning.
Aerobic exercise on an empty stomach helps to burn fat, but it is also easy to burn muscles, so even on an empty stomach, you should supplement some nutrition in advance. Aerobic exercise needs long-term persistence, and you can't see the effect in a day or two. If you want to be in good shape, you still have to make up your mind to take your legs.
