Is jogging on spot as effective as regular jogging ?

[yogalover]

My psychiatrist has asked me to do cardio to keep my anxiety levels under control.

I am doing spot jogging for some months now.

I do 15mins X 2. A total of 30 mins of moderate intensity spot jogging everyday.

Is jogging on spot as effective as regular jogging ?

I don't have a definitive answer for you, but it seeme to me it would be fairly comparable, minus the variables outdoor running introduces (terrain and weather being the two big ones that come to mind).

 

If you're looking to up the difficulty, I saw someone else on the NF Facebook page anchoring themselves with a resistance band to add to the intensity of their spot jogging.
