Can I take a break during a 30 minute slow jog

You can take a break during a 30 minute slow jog, but the frequency and duration of rest should be adjusted according to your physical ability and exercise goals. Reasonable intermittent rest can help improve exercise effectiveness and avoid excessive fatigue. If there is obvious wheezing, muscle soreness, or rapid heart rate during jogging, a brief rest of 1-2 minutes is necessary. Walking or static stretching can be used as a way of rest to help the body regain a stable state. For beginners or people with a large weight base, it is safer to complete a 30 minute slow jog in segments, such as taking a 1-minute break every 10 minutes to gradually improve continuous exercise ability. Pay attention to replenishing a small amount of water during rest, maintain breathing rhythm, and avoid immediately sitting down or stopping activities. People who exercise regularly for a long time usually have better endurance and may be able to complete a 30 minute jog without taking a break. But if high-intensity interval training is carried out, actively arranging rest periods is a scientific training strategy, such as running for 3 minutes with fast running and 1 minute with slow walking. It should be noted that excessive rest time may reduce the efficiency of calorie consumption. It is recommended that a single rest should not exceed 3 minutes, and the total rest time should be controlled within 5 minutes.

Adequate warm-up and relaxation should be done before and after jogging, and breathable sports equipment and running shoes with good cushioning performance should be selected. Daily strength training can be combined to enhance muscle endurance, and protein and carbohydrates can be replenished promptly after exercise. If there is a risk of cardiovascular disease or joint injury, it is recommended to consult a doctor and develop a personalized plan to avoid blindly pursuing continuous running time.
