Same goes to running. The more you run, the more efficient your body becomes at burning fat. The downside is\u00a0when your body has become more efficient, the less energy it has to expend for a given amount of workload. In other words, you will have to run longer than before in order to continue making progress.<\/p>\n<p>To tackle this issue, you could spice up your running routine by running faster with HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). Instead of running for an hour, you can progress by trying 15 or 20 minutes of HIIT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Running is time-consuming<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17280\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17280\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/r862864_8293398.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/r862864_8293398.jpg\" alt=\"Image: abc.net.au\" width=\"840\" height=\"557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/r862864_8293398.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/r862864_8293398-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/r862864_8293398-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/r862864_8293398-696x462.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/r862864_8293398-633x420.jpg 633w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17280\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: abc.net.au<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The most common reason many people choose to skip workout\u00a0session is that they don\u2019t have the time for it. Hence, there is no point in running or hitting the treadmill if you only want to run for less than an hour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Running limits calories burn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Normally one\u2019s can burn anywhere from 300 to 500 kcal while running. However, your metabolism will bounce back to what it was before you begin your run once you complete your workout.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hands, there are\u00a0many exercises that can boost your metabolism even after you are done with your workout. HIIT can deliver better result compared to the usual steady-state running. You are not only burning calories while you are working out you will also burn MORE calories after your workout is done. After all, the intensity of your workout determines the amount of calories burn, not the overall time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Running for long periods of time leave you so hungry<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17279\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17279\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20100309-woman-eating-happy-600x411.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17279\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20100309-woman-eating-happy-600x411.jpg\" alt=\"Image: f3y.com\" width=\"600\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20100309-woman-eating-happy-600x411.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20100309-woman-eating-happy-600x411-150x103.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20100309-woman-eating-happy-600x411-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20100309-woman-eating-happy-600x411-100x70.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20100309-woman-eating-happy-600x411-218x150.jpg 218w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17279\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: f3y.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Research shows that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitnessmagazine.com\/weight-loss\/eating-help\/control-cravings\/control-your-post-workout-appetite\/\">exercising for long hours makes you hungry.<\/a> When you begin to exercise for longer periods of time more than your body is used to, naturally your body wants to replace those calories you burn during your workout with more food. Eventually, people end up eating even more and not losing any weight although they train hard due to an increased appetite.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.
