I wanna improve my health-condition by jogging is that right?
Question:
Answer:
jogging is great exercise. You will lose fat, your aerobic capacity will improve, and you will sleep better and night and be more awake during the day.
It will increase your strength and also because it is a load bearing form of exercise, it will slightly increase bone density which is always a plus for women.
Regarding doing it every day...I would rec 5 days a week and do something else 2 days a week like lift weights.
Also- you are tired when you exercise because exercise is, by definition, tiring. Don't worry about it though. Keep it up and you'll be running 10-12 miles at a time without becoming too tired. Our bodies can do amazing things if trained right and fed good food!
Good luck!!
Jogging is good.
It is a good cardiovascular and aerobic exercise(Not to mention a good way to meet people)
Jogging is a "high-impact" exercise that places strain on the body, notably the joints of the knee. This is actually one of the basic reasons for doing the exercise, as the impact drives growth processes in the areas of the body stressed by that impact. Some people drop jogging in order to take up "lower-impact" exercises such as stair climbing, swimming or cycling.
Jogging can be combined with other kinds of exercising.
Jogging is often used by serious runners as a means of active recovery during interval training. The runner who may just have completed a fast 400 metre repetition at a sub-5-minute mile pace, may drop to an 8-minute mile pace for a recovery lap to eliminate metabolic waste products from the muscles and body.
And to make it less tiring make sure your form stays smooth. Don't hunch, leap too high or land on your heel, and don't land flat on your feet either. Warm up first with a brisk 3-5 minute walk, jog for 3-5 minutes and warm down afterwards with a 3-5 minute slow walk. Repeat the process if you can still give it another go. And keep breathing through your nose, resist the urge to breath through your mouth. It will hurt, but it will help you from getting parched. Breathing through the mouth also bypasses the filtration of the air(done in the nose) which could also irritate your lungs...
Happy jogging!
Absolutely. Running is one of the healthiest sports. Get a good pair of shoes, and hit the roads. However, run a bit at first and then work yourself up with distances. Do not give up because it's hard. The runner's "high" is great!
Absolutely. Our bodies were made to run; it's one of the healthiest, non-contact sports there are. The results are awesome; I've lost over 20 pounds and gained muscle mass in its place by running. It's cheap, all you need are a pair of shoes and to hit the roads. And, you're not competing against anyone but yourself.
I must warn you, however, that it will be hard at first; you may not be able to run even 10 minutes straight. (Assuming that you're running a 10-minute mile, that would be a mile. Most people can't run a mile.) But if you persist, the running will pay off. You'll increase your mileage, feel more energetic, replace fat with muscle, and reduce the risk of many heart and lung conditions. (some studies suggest that regular exercise may reduce the risk of cancer.) Good luck!
Absolutely! Running helps your cardiovascular health. Be sure that you stretch, run at a healthy pace, and use proper equipment though. If you are just starting out, I would suggest a run-walk program, which gradually increases the amount of time you run. Also, you should try to not run every day, as it can make you burned-out. Make sure you have at least two rest days a week.
Let me rephrase what you have said...You have made a commitment to make a positive change in your health and fitness!
That is excellent. You have already taken a first step!
I am sorry to tell you, jogging BY ITSELF is NOT an ideal way to improve your health...it CAN be a part of the picture, however simply doing 40 minutes every night is not the best approach.
Without the right nutrition and a concern for muscle, jogging will burn muscle and cause you to get more fat..yes you read that right...more fat. There are a lot of skinny fat people out there!
If it "worked," why would so many people have struggle to do more and more aerobics just to try to get fit? This is the wrong approach for the goal of health, fitness, leanness, etc.
If you want to achieve the health and fitness you desire, you need to use an approach that has been proven to work.not the one everyone is struggling with!
There is a synergy that can give you control over your health and fitness:
The right nutrition (eating not starving)
Moderate aerobic exercise (too much is not good)
A concern for muscle (protect and challenge muscle)
Combined in the right mix.
The metabolism is the rate at which the food burning machine (the body) burns through calories to produce energy.
Energy comes from when calories are burned in muscle (including fat!)
Putting a supportive meal through the body frequently will boost the metabolism and support all your efforts at improving your health!
A supportive meal consists of:
A lean Protein plus
A starchy carbohydrate plus
A fibrous Carbohydrate
Ideally consumed every 3 to 3-1/2 hours to keep the energy and metabolism cranked up! Ideally from whole food sources, not processed (which, because of factory pre-processing do not improve metabolism).
No hydrogenated fats
Avoid saturated fats
Avoid sugar
Think of aerobic exercise as a way to make the many systems of the body that support being healthy, fit, and lean run more efficiently!
Doing a small, but not excessive, amount of aerobic exercise, especially when done immediately after any resistance exercise, can play a key role in insuring that the body is able to perform optimally in helping you achieve your goals.
Muscle is the location on the body where fat is burned. It strengthens and protects the body, in fact, it creates the shape of the body. Muscle is responsible for our ability to move, and moving plays a key role in the functioning of the immune system. No matter what your desired goal, maintaining, training, toning, shaping, and protecting muscle will play a roll in your success.
Of course there is a little more to it, but you have the basic info!
Then, you can take control of your body once and for all!
I base this on experience and a lot of peer reviewed research.
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if your trying to lose weight, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then your consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and log your physical activities.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
Do not try fad diets. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/p...
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training For Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with excellent resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter.
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness For Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues. A good free publication is “Dietary Guidelines For Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”.
*6) Make a life long commitment to good health. A great test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com Look at other areas where you can improve your health. For example, make improvements on the quality of the air you breath. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier.
