6. Jogging Improves Lung Capacity
While jogging, the breathing process changes to a faster rate to accommodate for more oxygen demand. This in turn strengthens the lung muscles. It also improves the efficiency of the respiratory tissues in the removal of carbon dioxide and oxygen intake.
Although breathing problems may be triggered in asthmatic people by jogging, an improved lung performance may be achieved if jogging is done in a controlled state.
7. Jogging Helps In Weight Loss
Jogging helps your body burn down calories. To lose a pound of fat, your body must reach a 3,500-calorie deficit. This result from its burning down during the metabolic process associated with the rigorous aerobic activity.
To achieve this much calorie deficit, the calorie intake must also be regulated. When the calories you burn down exceed the calories you take into your body, you can achieve a desired weight loss.
For example, to reach a 3500-calorie deficit if you weigh about 150 pounds, you need to run at an average of 5 mph for 13 workouts of 30 minutes each.
