      When is the best time to run?

      It is recommended to run 2 to 3 hours after a meal. At this time, the body is neither full nor hungry, and the weight loss effect is best. If you run on an empty stomach in the morning, it is best to eat a banana before running.

      How long is the most appropriate time to run each time?

      You need to do it step by step. When you first start practicing, you can run for 20 minutes first, and then slowly increase it. After your body adapts, as long as you have the time and perseverance, you can run for any length of time.

      Can I "walk" → "run" → "walk"?

      It is recommended not to do this, because if you do it this way, your body will feel tired more easily. You can run at a relatively stable speed that you can bear, so that you can last longer and burn more fat.

      How fast is the best time to run when running?

      You must follow the "smile rhythm" when running, which means your running speed, which allows you to not only maintain almost smooth breathing, but also have enough energy to talk to others or greet and smile with people you meet.

      How often does running work best?

      In order to better implement the running plan and achieve the best weight loss effect, it is recommended to run 2 to 3 times a week, and no more than 5 times at most.

      Why can’t I see the effect of losing weight?

      Everything takes a certain amount of time, and individuals are different. The time it takes for the effects of running to lose weight will not be the same for everyone. As long as you persist and don't give up halfway, the effects of weight loss will slowly become apparent.
