Running: Is It the Right Exercise for You?
There are many benefits to running, but even so, running is not
for everyone. Running is a high impact sport and can often cause
permanent injury to joints and muscles. You should carefully
consider whether running is the right sort of exercise for you.
Before you start a running program, visit your local doctor.
The benefits of running
1. Running keeps you fit and healthy 2. Running improves your
mood 3. Running helps reduce your blood pressure 4. Running
increases the elasticity of your muscles and arteries 5. Running
increases your lung capacity 6. Running strengthens your heart
and prevents heart attack 7. Running produces a feeling of
euphoria 8. Running helps you sleep better 9. Running controls
your appetite for food 10. Running decreases your stress levels.
A combination of running and dieting will bring you quick
results While running is one of the most exhausting and lonely
exercise routines, it really does produce some of the
best
results. Combined with a reasonable diet a person who runs can
quickly see weight loss results. The more weight you carry, the
quicker you will lose weight. Running can make you burn around
100 calories per mile, depending on your initial weight. Other
types of exercises, such as walking and biking, don't burn that
much.
But running is not for everyone. If you are not generally active
then running should not be the first sort of exercise you get
into. Start with something lower impact, such as walking or
biking. Your joints will thank you. If you are not a seasoned
fitness fan, then running would probably do you more harm than
good. Visit your doctor for a fitness assessment and advice on
how to begin an exercise program that will quickly gear you up
for running.
