    Running to Lose Weight by Steven Keseg

    What do marathon runners and supermodels have in common? Very small waste lines and low body fat percentages. The only difference is marathon runners are healthier. They have a lower chance of getting heart attacks or strokes than an average person. Their endurance level is far better than others as well. Running can be a great option for loosing unwanted pounds and staying in shape.

    • A great cardiovascular work out
    Nothing gets the heart pumping faster than running and sprinting. In 5 minutes your heart rate can double up and in 15 minutes get you into your fat burning zone. Just like all other cardiovascular exercises running can help clear arteries clogged with cholesterol reducing chances of circulatory system failure. The exercise also improves circulation of blood throughout the body which is beneficial to all other organs and body systems.

    • Powerful lungs
    Running also improves lung strength and endurance. The body needs a lot of oxygen to withstand the impact of running. Adopting a running routine will definitely strengthen your lungs as it catches up to supply the body’s needs.

    • Strong shapely legs
    Running tones and shapes leg muscles. The calves and thigh muscles get a thorough work out making it look and feel better. Constant running also makes leg muscles react faster and last longer when used.

    It is important to consult a nutritionist or a physician before you lace up your trainers. Health professionals can tell you how much calories you have to burn through running on a daily basis. They can even help you figure out how many miles you have to run in a day to burn the calories that you have to. Running can be a high impact activity so it is definitely not recommended for people who have fragile bones or certain handicaps. It is best to get clearance from your local physician before you get into running. But in the same time it is a very good weight loss activity.

    It is best to schedule your runs during the mornings since this will boost your metabolism for the day. Remember to bring water or a certain beverage to keep your body hydrated during the whole activity. Try to swing your arms while running; this makes the run a little more aerobic. Stretch before and after your run to keep work out sores at bay.

    Exercise is a very important element in living a balanced lifestyle. It helps keep you healthy and fit enough to face the day’s challenges. Running is a great option you only need a sturdy pair of running shoes and some determination and you will literally be up and running in no time.
