The Importance Of Walking

#running First, let's remember whatRunningis?

Running is an aerobic exercise that can be done anywhere, anytime and costs nothing. You can do it alone or with your family.

Why is running important?

-When running, the body produces endorphins and enkefalins that reduce pain and improve mood. With these neurotransmitters that inhibit the transmission of pain, a state of rest and pleasure is clear. It is one of the physical activities with the highest calorie consumption.

If you are 40 years of age or older, have not exercised for a long time or have a history of heart problems, you need to undergo a medical checkup with an ECG and a stress test to assess how well your cardiovascular system works.

To run you need tennis shoes that provide you with good support and sufficient cushioning, as well as comfortable and light clothes; If you are a woman, do not forget that you need to wear a sports bra that feels comfortable to the touch.

Before you start running, you need to warm up your body by twisting your ankles and knees, stretching your muscles, and then walking for 15 minutes to avoid injuries. Try to breathe calmly, take the air through your nose and let it flow through your mouth, preventing cold air from entering your lungs. Try to keep your torso straight so that more air gets into your lungs while running. Begin to run gradually. First, support the
Heels, then the soles and finally the toes, and try not to fall with your feet abruptly touching the floor. You have to move your arms like this
gradual and parallel. Keep your hands slightly bent without clamping your fingers together.

If you run for 30 minutes four times a week, you can burn more than 350 calories, so you can lose weight. When you finish running, you should also stretch your muscles. It is important that you listen to your body; If you feel any discomfort, do not delay and do not stop abruptly, because you may get dizzy.

On hot days, drink plenty of water before running and bring extra water. It is important that you protect yourself from the sun when you run outdoors. The necessary accessories are sunscreen, hat and sunglasses. You can bring a music player with you, but do not use it on public roads for your safety.

After more than 45 minutes of running, the muscle begins to develop glucose deficiency and begins to metabolize fats, carbohydrates and cholesterol, which causes the
weight loss.

Kiwis, oranges or apples can help you avoid muscle fatigue and accelerate recovery after running. Honey provides a large amount of energy and, in addition, supplies potassium, phosphorus, amino acids and proteins.

Try to drive on smooth surfaces and not always on asphalt; carry identification with you. In Mexico City there are many parks and ideal places to run, such as the Coyoacán nurseries, the Tlalpan Forest, the “El Sope" track in the third part of the Chapultepec Forest. If you do not have time to go to one of these places, you can run on a treadmill.
