Common misconceptions about running: running like this may have no effect

1. Run hard at the beginning

This is not the best way to reduce weight running. The power in the human body is divided into sprint power and storage power. As long as your exercise volume reached a certain level, your body's storage power "fat" will become accelerated decomposition and trumpet.
