While there are many ways to lose those excess pounds, the process is essentially the same. The body burns stored fat if you consume less calories than you burn in a given time period. To achieve this, you can either eat less, burn more, or both. Generally, increasing physical activity along with restricting calorie intake is the way to lose weight.
Brazilian Jiu jitsu primarily targets the burning of calories. The calories burned in a BJJ session depends on the intensity and duration of training. The more intense and the longer the duration, the more calories you can burn while also improving your technique. Some opt top add some weight training to the BJJ routine to burn more calories and gain some muscle. A typical BJJ training burns from 500 to 800 calories on the average.
What makes BJJ effective for weight loss is because it is an all-around workout – cardio, flexibility, and strength all at the same time. By attending Jiujitsu classes, chances are you will be surrounded by people who value an active healthy lifestyle. Feeling healthier and looking more fit further motivates you to keep active and push your BJJ training.
Regardless of your reasons for losing weight, BJJ is a great way to get you closer to your weight loss goals.
