Consistency is Key: Aim for at least 3-4 running sessions per week to see noticeable fat loss, including belly fat.
Duration Matters: For effective fat loss, aim for 30 to 45 minutes of running per session. Longer sessions burn more calories, but consistency is more important.
Intensity Counts: Incorporate interval training or high-intensity runs (HIIT) for 20-30 minute sessions to boost calorie burn and increase fat loss.
Moderate Pace: If you're running at a moderate pace, aim for 40-60 minutes to maintain a steady fat-burning zone.
Mix with Strength Training: Combine running with 2-3 days of strength training to build muscle, which increases metabolism and helps burn belly fat.
Start Slow: If you’re new to running, begin with 20-30 minute sessions and gradually increase the time as your endurance improves.
Monitor Progress: Along with running, maintain a balanced diet and track your calorie intake. You should see visible results in a few weeks when combined with consistent running and healthy habits.
