Medical Video: How Does Exercise Impact Weight Loss?
Do you have excess weight and want to lose weight? Sports can be one of your ways to lose weight. However, most people are lazy to do sports. In fact, exercise is needed to burn calories so you lose weight, especially for those of you who are overweight.
The good news is that people who are overweight usually burn more calories more while exercising than thin people. So, fat people lose weight faster. How can it be like that?
Fat people burn more calories during exercise
Fat people usually have very little activity (a minister), and even tend to be inactive. So, adding just a little activity can help burn more calories in the body than thin people. To do additional activities for obese people, their bodies must make more effort than usual, so that the calories in the body will be burned more to get energy for activities.
When exercising, the heavier a person is, the more calories he burns when moving. This is because obese people have a greater body mass to move. As a result, the body will need more energy to be able to move (mass) the body, so that the body will burn more calories and lose weight faster.
Calories burned by fat people and thin people will be different in number even though they both do the same intensity exercise.
Based on the WebMD sports calculator, fat people weighing 90 kg who exercise low-speed walking (2 miles per hour) for 1 hour can burn as many as 225 calories. Meanwhile, thin people weighing 50 kg who do the same exercise can only burn calories as much as 125 calories.
Another example, fat people weighing 120 kg who exercise static bicycles for 30 minutes can burn 420 calories, while thin people weighing 60 kg only burn 210 calories.
However, usually thin people can exercise longer and heavier than obese people, so he is better able to reach the desired weight. People who have more muscles are also more able to burn more calories.
Food intake also determines how fast your weight drops
Want to lose weight faster? Diet also determines. Even though you have burned a lot of calories by exercising, but if you add more calories from food, your weight will be harder to get down. This is usually also a difficult thing for obese people, besides exercise.
Usually fat people cannot hold their appetite and eat more after exercising. Of course, this can disrupt the weight loss effort that you have done. If you have exercised, you should also adjust your diet so that weight loss can occur.
Although indeed fat people need higher energy because the energy used to carry out the metabolism of the basal body (breathing, pumping the heart, digesting food, and others) is greater than thin people. However, reducing food intake still needs to be done to achieve weight loss. Choose foods that are low in fat and sugar and increase fiber intake to lose weight faster.
