What benefits You Can get From Jogging Exercise?
By Orlando Racelis
Running can give us many benefits as you will observe from many people. You see, I just did a jogging program to improve my health condition per my Doctor's advise. I am already 60 years old and at my age, the joint pains are common and tend to move slower. Even at my age, I think exercise by jogging is still possible if you do it right. Do you want to know what benefits I received aside from getting physically fit? For your information, here are the benefits I am enjoying right now:
First,is you will loss weight. The amount of weight you will lose depends on the how much time and the pace of your jogging. I loose 10 lbs on my first month and it I felt it very rewarding and had a feeling of self accomplishment. It was a nice feeling to feel lighter again.
Second, it improved my stamina. When I first started running I spent only 15 minutes. Gradually I increased it until I have reached one hour. It is safe to jog at your own pace, this way you are not abusing your heart. Slowly you will be able to develop the stamina to run for a longer period and jog at a much faster pace.
Third, it can push you physically to do more and work harder. Prior to my jogging program, I am suffering from back pain for just standing for about an hour. After two weeks of jogging, my back pain was gone. Even my joint knee pain disappeared too.
Fourth, it can help improve your memory and release
your stress. The scientific explanation from the Doctors
is that doing exercise like running increase the supply
of oxygen to your brain, thereby making your brain
cells more healthy. It releases some chemical compound
that helps your mind and body more relaxed.
Fifth, it can help you maintain a normal blood pressure. It strengthens your heart and reduce the risk of having a heart attack.
Lastly, it can increase your self confidence. Being able to move faster, feeling
more lighter and being able to work for more longer
hours makes me think I am still doing a good performance
on my job. You will have to jog regularly to assure
of these benefits and it requires self discipline
to do it. It is easy to get distracted and loose the
will the continue. You have to psyche yourself to
continue your fitness program. One way of having motivation
is to always think of its benefits. Once it has become
a habit, you will not have any problem of missing
your workout. We can prolong and enjoy our lives by
this simple exercise. Let us start doing it now, before
it is too late.
