Running: to Raise Metabolism
Exercise to Boost Metabolic Rate
One way to raise
the body's metabolic rate (the rate at which it burns calories at rest), is to perform a daily exercise workout - such as running (9 mph).
Running: Faster Metabolic Rate
The benefits of a faster metabolic rate include faster weight reduction and fat reduction. It also helps maintain a healthy weight level as you get older. In addition, a regular running workout helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels, as well as healthy cholesterol and blood pressure.
Running: Calorie-Expenditure
About 45 minutes of running burns about 810 calories. In one year, this physical exercise workout uses up a total of 295,650 calories - about 84 pounds of body fat.
Running and Diet
As well as taking regular running exercise, try to follow a healthy eating plan. All diet trials show that a nutritious calorie-controlled diet is essential for long term weight control.
