How Jogging Can Help You Lose Weight

 

Jogging is a great way to help with losing weight. For every mile you jog, you'll burn in calories about 70% of your weight in pounds. For example, if you weigh 150 lbs, you'll burn 105 calories (150 times 70%) per mile of jogging. It takes a deficit of about 3,500 calories to lose one pound of weight.
A mile can be jogged in 8-12 minutes for casual joggers. If you jog three times a week for a half hour, you'll burn 600-1,500 calories per week, depending on your weight and your running speed. That amounts to 2,500-4,800 calories per month. Jog more than that and the calories burned become even more significant.
