Fat burning effect

 

In theory, the calories consumed by running on a treadmill and running outdoors for the same 5 kilometers should be similar.

 

But in fact, running outdoors will consume more calories.

 

When running on a treadmill, due to the power of the running belt, the resistance that our body needs to overcome to move forward is relatively small.

 

In addition, when running on a treadmill, we are passively running, and the body is mainly driven by the forward and backward swinging of the legs, and the participation of the upper limbs and core is relatively low.

 

When running outdoors, there will be wind resistance, and you need to spend a certain amount of effort to break through it.

 

In addition, the unevenness of the road surface will also increase additional energy consumption.

 

Moreover, when running outdoors, we are actively running, relying on the power of the body to run. In order to maintain balance every time a step lands, the muscles of the body must be tightened, especially the calves, ankles and core muscles.

 

So, overall, at the same pace, running 5 kilometers outdoors may burn more calories than on a treadmill, and the body will get a more comprehensive exercise.
