It has been scientifically proven that jogging is very effective, and most importantly - a free and affordable way to strengthen the body and improve it, as well as lose weight. It positively affects many organs and systems of our body.
A leisurely, short-term wellness run is indicated at any age. In addition, it can be practiced at any time of the year and in almost any weather. Improving the functional capabilities of the body, it perfectly tempers it, making it stronger and more enduring. With just running, you can permanently maintain the activity and motor skills necessary in everyday life.
Depending on the result that you want to achieve with running, you can do it in the evening and in the morning. Running in the morning will help to wake up after sleep, give tone to the muscles and give a positive emotional charge for the whole day. Also, morning wellness run stimulates the digestive system, starts the work of all vital organs. And thanks to the evening run, you can easily get rid of the stress that has accumulated throughout the day. It also contributes to a sound and healthy night's sleep.
But in order to be engaged in running and achieve positive results, it is necessary to remember the main rule - the “golden mean”. An insufficiently long run will not give the desired result, and if you run for too long, instead of a positive effect, you can overwork the body and inhibit the functions of its systems, which are necessary for a full life. The optimal time for a wellness run is about 30 minutes.
How to run, and what types of running exist? In addition to the usual run, there are many more of its various types.
For example, running on stairs has long gained popularity as an effective means to increase tone and for a beautiful figure. By doing it, you will bring your legs, buttocks and abs into excellent shape, and your cardiovascular system will never fail. He will thank you for such activities and the respiratory system. After all, repeatedly, each of you had to notice shortness of breath while climbing stairs. And if you often run down the stairs, the lungs will clear and increase in volume.
Another, no less useful type of running is running with weighting agents. But it is inherently intended for professional athletes. Indeed, if runners show good results with such exercises, then without weighting indicators will be several times better. The role of weighting can be performed as a backpack or dumbbells with a certain weight, as well as special devices that are worn on different parts of the body (legs, arms, belt). Novice runners or those for whom health running is more important than professional achievements, weighting materials are not needed, as they give a very big additional load. But to get rid of extra pounds such devices are what you need. But do not use them from the very first lessons. At the beginning of training, weights can only harm beginners - for example, damage to the knee joints and ankle joints. And one more important rule of using various kinds of weighting agents: run systematically, gradually increasing their weight.
There are many different types of running: aerobic (the most effective for losing weight), anaerobic (for acceleration), jogging (a kind of aerobic running at a slow pace), fartlek (changing pace and speed during one run), light fartleck and sprinting. In any case, regardless of the type of run, such training can be of great benefit to your body if you follow the recommendations of specialists. Run - and be healthy!
