3 Tried and True Pointers To Remember for Running and Jogging

By Wilson Resturbee


If you are looking for a safe, natural way to work out, you can't go wrong with running or jogging. People all around the world have been running for thousands of years, long before there were health clubs or exercise machines. In today's age, when people don't get much exercise and have health problems because of it, running or jogging can be a great way to get back in shape. We will be looking at some ways to get the most from running.

When you choose to run for a living, you need to make sure you stick to your plan. Most people have lots of enthusiasm when they begin a running routine, and sometimes they even get overzealous. That's when they usually suffer an injury, like a pulled muscle, and they'll usually stop running for months at a time. This is not the way to get the real benefits of running. The best way to do it is to ease into it and keep going until you reach your goal. If you want to get the most out of your running routine, you will want to run for at least 30 minutes at a time, 3 days per week. It doesn't matter what speed you're going, especially at the beginning of your running or jogging routine. It is always better to go slowly at first and then gently progress rather than push it too hard and quit prematurely. Make sure you never run when you are sick or hurt, but don't mistake that for pushing yourself when you don't want to run. If you usually have a dozen excuses for not running or jogging, such as that you're too worn out or your schedules too busy, then you will probably quit your running routine prematurely.

It's a good idea to study the health benefits of jogging. You can use this knowledge as motivation on days where you don't feel like running. Jogging can be a great way to lose weight as long as you are consistent about it.

If possible, go running first thing in the morning, although you can go at any time of day. For one thing, this way you get your exercise done right away, and you don't have to worry about it for the rest of the day. Jogging first thing starts your day on a productive note, as well as energetic. This is also a great way to jump start your metabolism for the day. And, usually, the air quality is better in the morning. You will start to notice that you have more energy throughout the day if you start out going for a morning jog.

It's always good to check with your doctor, but if you can run then you can receive the benefits, and you can start at practically any age - so don't let that stop you. Many runners report that they really do look forward to that runner's high they get. Be sure to follow proper procedures so your muscles and bones stay healthy and strong.
