Running And Jogging For Fitness And Weight Loss




If we want to be healthy, and have a strong healthy heart we need aerobic exercise in our daily or weekly life. It can de brisk walking,bicycling, jogging and running, or other activities, and there really is an exercise routine for everyone.

Aerobic exercise burns fat, strengthens muscles, and helps the heart to pump strongly. It also produces feel good endorphin hormones in the brain which act to make you happy and feel healthy.

Running and/or jogging is certainly one of the better aerobic exercises. It makes the heart pump better, and strengthens and improves it. The heart is made of muscles, and needs to be exercised, just as all other muscles do. By combining running with a healthy diet you will do your heart and arteries a great favor ,and will keep them free from plaque deposits.

Jogging and running also increases stamina, and not only is good for health, but lets you perform athletic games including basketball, tennis, soccer etc with much better power and endurance. This simply makes you a better player.

We all look back to younger days of limitless energy, when we felt we could go on nearly forever with activities calling for plenty of exertion. Ah the days of our youth! Even when we are in our thirties we look back on those great days wistfully, and by the time we reach our fifties they seem gone forever. But is this really the case? The best answer is really NO they are not gone. If we start on a good running/jogging routine we can take back that energy and fitness that seems to be gone forever. We just need to how to get startd and what distance to run, how often we should jog and at what pace should we go?

When starting to run our condition is normally far from what it could be, and we may be able to run for just a couple of minutes before becoming tired or breathless. This is normal so don't worry about it. With regular practice your running times will increase, and you will soon work up to thirty minutes of running at a time. How long it will take to reach this performance level depends on your age, as well as your physical conditioning at the start naturally. But once you can do 30 minutes of running this is all that it takes to reach a high level of fitness and to keep yourself at that level. When you run there is really no need to count laps or miles all you need is the time you are actually running.
