Jogging can be done literally anywhere. However, if you’re trying to find ways to maximize the benefits and burn a lot more calories in the process, there’s a simple trick that could help you burn twice as many calories.

Walking, running or jogging: Once you decide to take the uphill route, the intensity of the aerobic exercise increases and your result improves. If you’re going jogging to shed extra pounds and trim your waistline, try increasing your pace and distance or start jogging uphill for best results. This could also help avoid the dreaded weight loss plateau. As you bend over, you can also target and activate more muscles in your lower body.
Wondering how to incorporate uphill jogging into your routine? It’s simple.
To get started, find a mountainous region in your area where you can start. Try to find a spot located a little higher than ground level and that’s where you can start. Start jogging slowly until you reach the top. Then slowly walk back down to where you started. This will help slow your heart rate and allow you to catch your breath. Repeat three to five rounds of this.
If you don’t have access to hills, try using a treadmill for the incline effect. Set the machine to between 1.5 and 2.5 percent and begin jogging at a faster pace than you can sustain for one minute. Then slow down for a minute or two and repeat the same for 15 to 20 minutes.
