To lose weight, it is useless to run… Meditate on the example of “Fat and Skinny run the Marathon!”
It’s an anecdote that I often tell: Fat and Skinny decided to run the Marathon…
Skinny, who is very sharp, runs it in less than four hours.
Gros, who is blowing, struggling and unable to run, will take more than 9 hours to reach the end of the 42 kilometres…
The moral or rather the morals of this story?
First of all, she’s totally stupid.
Gros should never have done the Marathon, far too dangerous for an ill-prepared body!
It is also desirable that, too tired, he gave up before the finish line…
Then, what are the positive differences, from a medical point of view, between the two?
Lean will have taken less time.
Certainly, it is obvious.
But it is Big, from an energy point of view, who will have spent the most calories and lost the most weight, because for the same distance, he will have carried a heavier load and essentially lost fat, since is a long effort.
So, in conclusion, to make physical exercise effective against overweight, it is above all the distance that counts…
