That’s because if a fat person tried to jog, he’d be laid up for a week.
Interval training is also a proof positive exercise strategy to lose that much more fat when one is jogging, cycling, etc. Of course one has to change their eating a bit if they want to lose and keep off the belly fat. One cool thing about interval training is it is harder while one is doing it but one doesn’t have to do 40-60 minute cardio to dump the fat and get the aerobic benefits.

Brisk walking? Pbbbththhttt. I’ve been “brisk walking” since my twins were born, and the post-twins belly fat is still there! Grr. My blood pressure has gone down, though. (Can’t seem to be successful running... every time I try, I injure my ankle or foot or knee or some darned thing.)
That's because it takes most of an hour of brisk walking before the walker gets his heart rate up to an effective level, and within an hour most walkers have stopped and are back inside. The walker gets his leg muscles toned, but that's about it. The jogger or runner, however, gets his heart rate up within a block and keeps it up.
I can't run for a long time, so I walk, and I keep my weight down, by starting my walks with a jog of two blocks. Then my heart rate is up, and I can drop back to walking as fast as my dogs will drag me along. When my heart rate slacks off a little I jog a short distance to get it back up. I am skinny.
--off to go for my run/walk in the darkness.
“love handles and saddlebags”
Around here these are called “power packs”.
At 45 and after this Christmas; I am fully charged!
I swim about 35 miles every summer and this tends to burn them up. I’ve been blessed with good health and the wits to know when to start burning belly fat.
Swimming is great because there is minimal impact, though I admit with each passing year that I can hear more and more stuff rattling around in my shoulders and knees.
