RUNNING OR JOGGING! HOW IT HELPS

Spread the love
Jogging/running is considered to be one of the most
popular forms of exercise in the world and most people do this as a daily
routine, in-fact personally I think it’s the easiest form of exercise cause it
allows you to free your mind and focus on the race, this could even contribute
to your daily work-life and help you stay charged.
Regular running builds strong bones, improves
cardiovascular fitness and helps to maintain a more healthy weight. The
difference though! Between jogging and running is intensity, but both are forms
of aerobatic exercise.
Running or jogging is a popular form of physical
activity, going by stats, about one in five of Australians try running/jogging
at some stage in their life, I wish Nigerians can adopt more of this rather
than the regular no exercise life they currently live. In this article, BOLA
AKINBOADE-BELLO brings to you some benefits of jogging/running
SOME BENEFITS OF JOGGING/RUNNING
Running or jogging offers lots of health benefits,
running can help build strong bones for example. As it is a weight bearing
exercise, strengthens your muscles, improves cardiovascular fitness and help
burn plenty of kilojoules. Help maintain a healthy weight.

RUNNING VESUS JOGGING
The difference between these two forms of exercise is
that jogging is intensity and running is faster. Running uses more kilojoules
and it demands more efforts from the heart, from the lungs and from the muscles
than jogging does. Running requires more level of overall fitness than jogging.
But you need to know that jogging and running are just forms of physical
activity that produces energy by combining oxygen with blood and glucose or
body fat.
SETTING A GOAL FOR RUNNING/JOGGING
You should think of what exactly you hope to achieve
from running or jogging, issues to consider may include the following:- getting
fit, should start with brisk walking, then progress to jogging, and finally
gear-up for running. This should takes some few months.
General fitness- mix running with some other forms of
exercise, such as swimming, which personally I totally agree with, I do this
from time to time.
SOME QUICK BEGINNERS TIPS
Try seeing your doctor to know if you are in shape for
running program, it wouldn’t be funny if your heart seizes and you collapse
while running/jogging, this is especially more important for people around the
age of 40 years and above. Or for those who are overweight or have a chronic
ailment. A pre-exercise screening is used to detect If the person is under
serious risk of experiencing a health problem if they actually adopt he
running/jogging tradition of keeping fit.
If you pass such test, make sure before you hit the
road, you warm up and do some stretches thoroughly before you finally hit the
road.
Also cool your body down by doing lighter stretches
after you return from your trip.
