Jakarta, Spasi-id.com - run is more demanding on the body than on the walk, so the results are faster on the body. There are also findings that show that running is more effective for those who want to gain weight effectively. To reduce stomach fat (or visceral fat), experts recommend to include short-distance runs into your exercise routine.

"Reduce stomach fat, even without losing weight, can improve health overall," said Dr. Carol Ewing Garber, a professor of biobehavioral at Columbia University Teachers College.
"Running is often a big step in the intensity of running, so might as well add to your routine gradually," turn him.

But studies also show that the runners may have high risk of injury compared to those who choose to walk. People with arthritis or arthritis have to ask for a doctor's recommendation if they want to run, because it could worsen their condition as an increase in pressure on the joints.

James O'Keefe, a cardiologist at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute, reminding that too many runs can be bad because our bodies can't maintain such demanding activities beyond a certain point.

"After 60 minutes of intense physical activity, as it ran, your ventricles began to stretch and demanded muscle skills to adapt," he said.

On the other hand, running is almost as effective as running to reduce the risk of hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease. Those who want to pluck more benefits from walking can also consider doing this activity on the hill path or just going up and down the stairs. For obese adults, using treadmill may be the best option.
A 2011 study concluded that running at relatively slow speeds is a potential sports strategy that can reduce the risk of muskuloskeletal injury, pathological disease at the same time providing precise cardiovascular stimulus.

Clinical cardiologist Peter Schnohr recommends merging two activities to get the best results.

"The best thing is to run two to three days per week, slow or average. Running every day, at speed, more than 4 hours a week isn't profitable," he's got a mouth. Running fast can also be the perfect choice for those who choose not to run.

One study shows people who travel faster have a lower risk of death than those who walk slow. That's like a medical diary.
