Running The Best Exercise

April 10, 2009

runningweightlossPhysical exercise of any form is good for the body. Running also forms a part of physical exercise and can be either your exercise or a hobby.

Before treading on the path of running, it is important to understand some dos and don’t pertaining to this form of activity. First and foremost, if you are a beginner, don’t try to do the maximum in the very first attempt.

The body needs adequate time to gear to such physical activity and overstressing can actually lead to more harm, even giving up after the very first attempt.

Start at a slow pace comfortable at the individual level to avoid injuries or body aches.  Main focus should be to adapt to running routine before attempting to build up the stamina.

Get a good pair of running shoes as footwear forms an essential part of this exercise. Ill fitting shoes can lead to ankle injuries and other physical harms and you may end up spending more time and money at the doctor’s than on the running circuit.

To begin with jogging rather than run at a comfortable speed.  This warms up your body and makes it ready for further routine.

Once you feel confident, start running at a leisurely pace. Stop and take a few deep breaths when you feel exhausted. Breathlessness while running could indicate that you are running too fast. Stop for a few moments to regain normal breathing and then begin again at a slower pace.

Dieting would be a good company for running, particularly if you are doing it to lose weight or keep physically fit. But avoid low carbohydrate diets as running could leave you totally exhausted and carbohydrates are the first thing body searches as energy packets.

Drink a glass of water kept at room temperature before beginning the running schedule. It is also a good idea to carry a bottle of water to quench your thirst while running. But avoid refrigerated water as the body will not be able to adjust to the difference in temperature all at once.
