Does jogging on the spot make you lose calories?

Answer 1

The key to weight loss is to use up more energy during the day than what you get from eating during the day.

This leave you with basically three options:

- eat less/healthier

- exercise more

- or a bit of both

Now, the big thing to realize is that putting the energy in (=eating) is so much faster than using the energy up (= exercising).

If you're overeating, it's pretty much impossible to exercise hard enough and long enough to lose any weight through exercise alone.

Something like a cupcake might take 5 minutes to finish, and it'll take ONE HOUR to burn off.

So you see you really need to start by controlling what you eat.

Once you've managed that, then exercise can certainly help.

But jogging on the spot is a so-so-choice.

First, it won't be a very good burn, maybe 400 cals/hour tops.

Secondly, it'll be dead boring. Sticking with it long enough to burn any important amount of calories/energy will be a real challenge.

Answer 2

Yes it is. Anything which gets your heart rate up to over 60% of your maximum is cardio. Make sure you jog for 20 minutes or more to get into the fat burning zone. If you don't have the time during one workout session, try doing two 20 minute jogs, one in the morning and one in the evening, as studies have show separated workouts to be just as effective. To find out your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. You can find out your heart rate after you've exercised by taking your pulse for 6 seconds and multiplying that number by 10 to give you number of beats per minute. If it's not 60% of the max, you know you'll need to work harder. Good luck :)
