No exercise was created equal. You might like running, so run. You might like jogging, so jog. You might like stationary bikes, so bike stationarily. Find the one that works best for you – that isn’t too much of a chore for you to do regularly throughout the week. Don’t pick a routine that you don’t like – or you won’t want to do it, and you certainly won’t stick with it for long. From: chris.pirillo.com More than 60 percent of American men and women do not get enough physical activity to provide health benefits. For adults, thirty minutes of moderate physical activity on most days of the week is recommended. From: patientlinx.com Being overweight or obese can raise your risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Eat healthy foods and maintain an active lifestyle to keep your weight in check. See your doctor about any health concerns to make sure you are on the right track to staying healthy. From: womenshealth.gov Once you’ve found your workout groove, do your best to stick with it. Exercise no less than three times a week for 40 – 60 minutes each time, but don’t feel the ‘need’ to do it more than five times over a seven day period. From: chris.pirillo.com Storing damp or wet workout clothes in your locker or gym bag is an invitation for fungus to grow. Hang your clothes up to dry before cramming them in your locker, and take them home at least once a week to be washed From: medicinenet.com Use an anti-fungal or talc powder on your feet area after you shower, air out your sneakers between workouts, and wear flip-flops to walk around the locker room… those wet floors are popular hangouts for fungi looking for a foot to grab on to regardless of how clean the gym is! From: medicinenet.com Tags: exercise Jogging only once a week, no matter how vigorous the activity, puts you at risk of injury and fails to provide you with maximum aerobic and conditioning benefits. Try to establish a schedule of three-30 minute workouts a week. From: macecanada.com Tags: exercise If you hold your running shoes at both ends and twist the shoe, it should feel firm. An old shoe or one that doesn’t have proper support will twist easily. From: running.about.com Tags: exercise When jogging, keep your body as straight as possible. Do not over arch your back nor stick your butt out because you may have back and hip pain. Stretch your body to your full height while you jog because this will help you keep a good jogging posture. From: beginnerjoggingtips.com Exercising and staying active is the second most relieving task to help manage your stress levels. It will help you become less tense, angry, and upset, and also releases natural chemicals in your body to help balance your mood. From: mensdivorcelaw.com The best time to jog is in the morning. So set your alarm and wake up around six in the morning. If you find that difficult, make it 7 am. But beyond that you will not be able to get the maximum benefit of jogging. This is because early in the morning, the air is fresh and the oxygen content in the air is high. When you jog in the mornings and gasp for breath your lungs are filled with oxygen which is needed to burn off calories. From: iamnotobese.com Tags: exercise Warming up your muscles before you jog can decrease your risk of injury. Spend at least 5 to 10 minutes stretching and loosening the muscles that will be used while jogging. The increased blood flow of such a warm-up will decrease tension in your muscles, improve their range of motion and can even improve performance.

From: running.about.com Tags: exercise Never perform abdominal exercise movements in a fast or uncontrolled manner. To get the most out of any abdominal movement, you have to go slowly. From: bNet |
