Stay Motivated with These Jogging Tips

By Brian Dobinson


The list of benefits from jogging (or running if you like) is long and very impressive to say the least. Running is a simple and fun exercise that you can do no matter where you live, whether on a sidewalk, road or a track. Today we're offering a couple of sound pieces of running advice, and you really should remember them so you'll get the most out of your exercise.

It is extremely important for joggers and runners to pay special attention to their footwear. It is important to wear thick socks designed for athletic shoes. Your feet and ankles will feel a lot of impact when running, so if you don't wear good running shoes, you put yourself at risk for several problems. When new, running shoes should fit well and comfortably but as soon as they start to wear out, you need to replace them. To make sure you get the best shoes for you, try out several styles and brands. You can get blisters and are more prone to sprains if your shoes don't fit well or are in bad condition. When it comes to jogging, your shoes are your only significant expense, and you have to pay attention to them if you care about your feet.

Jogging can be enjoyable but it's still a good idea to study the many health benefits of this activity. On days where you don't feel like running, knowing the benefits can be a great motivator. Jogging can be a great way to lose weight as long as you are consistent about it. Jogging will help keep your bones strong and will benefit your cardiovascular health, as well. Because jogging releases endorphins, it is an effective mood enhancer. Going jogging when you feel depressed, then, can help you feel better.

Do be sure to learn how to warm up, stretch, and then afterwards you'll want to warm down and stretch a little, as well. Never run at full speed or high intensity and then just stop cold; you need to take it easy coming down so you can cool off and warm down. Just as you want to start off slowly, you should end your run the same way, slowing down before you stop. Be very sure you get in the habit of a pre-run stretching session, and then do a post-run stretch. You can help take the load off your heart by resting with your heart lower than your feet, or put your feet up, and that will take the strain off your heart and help it to relax.

You can also get a lot from an indoor cycling exercise aside from jogging several times a week. But remember to use common sense and remember to stretch, wear the right shoes, and don't overdo it. To help you maintain your exercise year round, use these tips.

My Pepper Shot Pepper Spray Is One Of The Most Powerful Preventative Sprays

By Jule C Thacks I usually travel on my bike in the city. I choose this over buses and trains because I take shortcuts to go downtown. My only concern is that bikes are some of the most stolen items reported. Mine was almost taken from me a year ago. I was on my way home from St. Patrick's Church. As I turned left in the corner of 22nd and Mission streets, a tall and buff guy tried to block my way. He flashed his gun inside his jacket and asked me my bike.
