Tips to Jog Yourself into Health, Fitness and Weight Loss

By Selena Brett


Because jogging doesn't require special equipment, it can be done almost anywhere and is one of the simplest exercises. Jogging offers several health benefits and is one of the most effective calorie burning exercises. Using the following tips will help you as you begin a jogging routine or they can be used to help you get more out of your current routine.

While nothing beats jogging outside on a beautiful day, for a variety of reasons this isn't always feasible. Treadmills are a convenient and proven alternative during such times. The treadmill is like a convenience that allows you to cover all the bases when you can't get outside for your run. Just one obvious example is during those times when the weather or outside conditions can make running a little treacherous, and then the treadmill starts looking pretty good. There are certain advantages to running on a treadmill, as you have complete control over your speed and there are no potholes, cars or dogs to worry about! If you want to keep yourself from getting hurt when you are jogging or running, always look at the ground you are running on. Make sure you keep away from running on steep inclines or on surfaces that are very rocky or that have lots of obstacles.

When you run or jog on hills and in terrain that's not flat, it can bring some spice to your routine, but unless you have done it before, you should stick to flat terrain. Running up and down steep inclines is adding a lot of extra impact on your feet, ankles and knees, and this is something you should avoid when starting out with running.

It's really important to properly hydrate prior to every single run, or jog. You should give yourself time to digest if you have eaten something - about an hour or two. The very best, number one thing to drink is water, and until our bodies change - that will remain unchanged. Before you begin your jog, you should drink some water but never to the point where you feel bloated in your stomach. It's a good idea to carry a bottle of water with you when jogging so you can take sips when you need to. Never drink water that has a color you cannot name - clear water is the ticket. Staying hydrated is very important when you are jogging or doing any kind of strenuous exercise.

So if you want to get back in shape, use the tips we just read about and keep up your motivation until you reach your ultimate goals. Also, remember that an upright exercise bike workout must be merged into your currently life's routine if you hope to receive maximum benefit from it. That's why you must keep your wits and your senses about you when you are running so that you can avoid many of the problems that cause most joggers to give up.
