Why running is so important? And how to do it right?

Run, Running, Jogging, Health, Fitness,

With regular exercising you will have more energy, better mood and of course you will become healthier and your body will look (and feel) much better.

No matter what are you doing now, if you have your fitness program or you're planning to start it, it's necessary to include running in it. Running it's not only for leg muscles, it's for all your body strength.

When I started to run couple months ago, I remember how I wanted to stop after 100 metres of running, because it was so hard to breath! Thanks God, I have my husband, who has always motivated me to keep going, to get out of my comfort zone and reach my goals! After few weeks daily running (there were some days we skipped) I start to like it! My breathing has normalized, my legs got stronger, now I run and I'm feeling amazing!

With these morning exercises I trained my will power not only in sports, but also for my healthier living, my diet and also for my job and those displeasing tasks we usually like to put off.



The benefits of running

Running has benefits not only for your body, but also for soul. You will experience great joy to be in the nature and to breath pure air and energy, you will feel fresh and happy. This sport helps to embellish the body lines, burns fat and strengthen legs muscles.

If you suffer from frequent colds or viral diseases, jogging will 
especially fit. This activity makes the body more resistant to various diseases and strengthens the immune system. Besides running reduce stress, improves heart function, encourages creativity, provides energy.

Jogging in the fresh air makes it easier to fall asleep and allow the brain to rest. So, among other beneficial effects, it even improves the quality of sleep.

While you run it is important to listen to the signals sent by your body. To avoid various injuries, and sprains, before every workout do a warm-up. Push yourself, but not too much, if your body gives you signal to stop, then do it.


Jogging to lose weight

Running 
exercise helps to keep the beautiful shape of your body. To burn more calories, increase the jogging pace. But if it's too tiring for you, do the interval running. Before you start interval running make sure you warmed up well. Initially, at least 10 minutes run on your normal speed. Then run couple of minutes as fast as possible, after that walk fast for one minute and start to run fast again. This way of running efficiently burn calories, it will also help you to become a better runner.

To have effective training, make jogging time longer. You will burn more calories and strengthen your endurance. 
In order to get more benefits out of the workouts you need to "push" yourself more, for example, try to quickly run the same distance, or run longer than you are accustomed to. 
If you have never regularly run before, start with short workouts (15 min.) changing walking with running. Gradually getting longer training time. Jogging every other or every third day, because your body needs time to recover and rest. 
To not get bored of running, don't run on the same paths, try to look for new locations. It's funnier to run with friends, so if you do not want to be alone, find a workout partner.

How to run correctly?


straight back, good posture

Your body must be completely straight:
  Push your head back and imagine that someone holds the rope on your head and pulls you to the top;
  Raise your shoulders, pull them back, drop, relax
 Arms bent at the elbow at 90 degrees, palms pressed the fists, but keep it relaxed, while you run relax and gently move your arms, but don't cross the center axis of the body.
 If your butt protruding back, pull your hips forward, otherwise the load will go to the lower part of the back, and after a long distance it may start to hurt.
 Foot position straight, toes pointing forward. When the foot is rotated inward or outward can be traumatized knee joints.

Check your position, slightly lean forward and the your legs will start to run naturally. Over jogging maintain proper body position, be conscious. Breathe rhythmically. For me personally, the best is a deep breath, hold your breath for a moment and exhale all the air. 
You can alternate between breathing methods until you find the most suitable.
Note: make sure to do your warm-up, before running, turn around all the joints, Stretch your legs and back, make a few squats and other exercises to prepare the body for increased workload.

And most importantly, enjoy the running! Feel how your body gets stronger, as it becomes increasingly easier every day, which means that you become stronger, see yourself what that you have always dreamed to see, and know, that with each step you get closer to it. The most important is the first step! Stop delaying and start now! If it's possible, choose running in nature, then you will not only exercise, but also relax, get the energy from nature, soothe the mind, so your heart will rejoice.

See you on the road! :)
