Jogging
Jogging is one of the most "convenient" form of exercise. Apart from the fact that
you could do it anytime, anywhere, with anybody, the most important of all,
it is easy and cheap. It is only a matter of whether you want to do it or not.
Good Running Shoes
Ok, before you actually start jogging, first of all, you must make sure that
you have suitable running shoes. Do not start running straight away without
wearing the proper sports shoes meant for running.
Jogging without wearing the right kind of running shoes is a bad idea.
Apart from the fact that it could be very uncomfortable, you could actually
hurt yourself if you go jogging wearing the wrong kind of shoes.
Suitable Location For Jogging
Finding the right place for jogging is also very important.
Very often, we see people go jogging by the road side of major high-traffic
roads in the city. Can you imagine the amount of exhaust fumes you are inhaling
when you run by the side of roads with heavy traffic? Even if it is convenient,
think again!
On the other hand, should you decide to go to the suburds, woods, country side or
public parks, make sure that the place is safe. You don't want to get mugged or
raped while trying to keep fit. Also watch out for any hostile or ferocious
animals in the vicinity. Be alert towards the surrounding you jog in.
If necessary, bring along an umbrella when you go jogging.
Remember: "Work hard but SMART!"
How Often & For How Long?
Ok, keeping fit is more like a cross country or marathon run than
a 100-metre sprint. So, take it easy in the beginning. You don't want
to "burn" or "tire" yourself out even before you really started.
Start with just once a week and jog for maybe just 20-30 minutes.
As your body begin to get used to it and your stamina increases,
you can slowly increase the frequency and duration. But take it easy
and increase slowly, little by little. You don't want to over push
yourself or worn yourself out. You must enjoy doing it and not dread it.
Miscellaneous Pointers To Help You Enjoy Your Jog
Go jogging with a determination to have a good time.
If you enjoy running slowly, then do it slowly and take in the sceneries.
If you enjoy running fast and sweat it out, then do it, but watch your limit.
Remember that you jog to keep fit and stay healthy. This is not a competition.
The only person you are competing with is yourself and not somebody else.
You must understand that your body takes time to get used to new routines.
So, if you want to build up your fitness and good health, give your body
enough time to adjust. Don't over push your physique or you might give yourself
permanent bodily damage. Don't over do it.
One of the most satisfying ways to go jogging is to bring someone along.
Yes, instead of jogging alone, you might want to consider jogging with your spouse,
a family member, friend, colleague, neighbour, etc. It can be quite fun and
extremely rewarding to have someone to talk to while you jog.
Or you could also consider bringing along a pet, if you can't think of anyone
suitable to go jogging with. A dog seems to be one of the most popular pet
to go jogging with. Remember to leash your pet and make sure that it does not
become a nuisance or hurt anyone. Should there be any law prohibiting any pet
in a public place, please abide by it and don't bring the pet. Be responsible
and civic minded.
Just like any other sports or fitness activities, in order to truelly benefit
from it, you have to have the self-discipline to do it regularly (without fail,
excuse or procrastination). Ultimately, you are the one who is going to benefit
from a healthy and fit body. At least do it for yourself.
Remember: "Now is the best time to start jogging. The sooner you start, the better."
