At the same time, because the density and heat transfer of water are greater than that of air, jogging in water consumes more energy than on land. Running on land 100 meter consumes about 35 kcal, and jogging in water consumes 65 kcal. Long-term persistence can promote metabolism, accelerate the decomposition of glycogen in the body, prevent excessive accumulation of fat, and the slimming effect is surprisingly good. Therefore, this is another simple and easy new trick.
Generally speaking, when jogging in the water, the body should be suspended vertically in the deep water, the water level should be below the chest (to ensure that it can stand firm in the water and reduce the load on the knees), and the limbs should be paddled violently like a waterwheel, which should be appropriate every time. When you are in the water or walking, the faster you move, the greater the resistance of the water, and the more you can strengthen the cardiopulmonary function.
For beginners, we should pay attention not to overdo it at first, but to increase or decrease it moderately. At the beginning, you can take a walk in the water for about 20- 20 times each exercise, and then gradually improve your sports ability and physical condition after you get used to it. The running time in the water can be appropriately extended to one hour. In addition, the heart rate should be controlled between 130- 150, and exercise and rest should be carried out alternately. Take a rest after walking 15-20 minutes.
