Putting on your running shoes and hitting the road or even the treadmill provides great overall benefits to your fitness levels.
In detail, how can running in Dubai help?
Improved cardio fitness
Running, whether for short distances or long increases your heart rate. As your heart rate increases it pumps more oxygen rich blood around your body.
The heart is a muscle and like any other muscle in the body it helps if you train it. A healthier heart means you are less likely to suffer from heart related disorders.
According to a large scale study by the American College Of Cardiology found here running regularly as a fitness method reduced the risk of heart attack by up to 40%
Running In Dubai Helps you lose weight
There’s no denying the fact that exercise types like running burn calories. To effectively lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit.
What this simply means is that if you consume more calories during the day than your body needs you are more likely to put on weight.
How does running have an effect on your calorie deficit? It’s simple really. Running helps to burn huge amounts of calories. So, if your eat more calories than your body needs during the day, running off those extra calories helps use up those ‘extra’ calories.
Running has been proven time and time again to be one of the best exercise methods to burn fat. So, not only will it help you lost weight but because you are burning fat you will be toning your body at the same time.
Of course where weight loss in Dubai is concerned you can’t out train or even out run a bad diet. You might think that a 5k run will effectively melt away the fat from those large pizza you had for lunch but nutrition is about more than just losing weight. Even skinny people can be unhealthy on the inside from eating too much junk food.
