Run!


            I think everyone who is able to run, should run. Running is very good way to stay healthy and is a good form of exercise to help you stay shape. Running is a good and easy way to burn calories and feel better about yourself.

            Running is an excellent form of exercise for many reasons. One of those reasons is that you don’t really need any equipment to run except for good running shoes. Running is also an activity that you can pretty much do anywhere as long as it’s not winter. If you are going on a run all you have to do is put on some shoes and go outside. While there may certain trails you can run on all you really need is your neighborhood or streets.

            Running is also good exercise because it works your arms and legs. Running also increases your heart rate. It doesn’t really matter what pace you are running at, you could be running slow or fast but you still are getting in a good workout and using your arms and legs. I also think running is a better exercise than walking. While walking may seem easier than running, walking doesn’t get your heart rate as high as running does or work your arms or legs as much because when you are running you tend to bring your legs and knees up higher than when you are walking. It also takes longer to walk a mile than it does to run a mile so you are getting more and better exercise in when you are running than when you are walking.

            They are also so many great places to run. While you really only need a street to run on, there are also many more possibilities of places where you can run. You can run on a track or a treadmill and some areas even have a bike or running trails that you can run on. Running on treadmills or on a track can help you keep track of how far you are running which is nice but you can also track how far you are running with computers or watches. There are now watches you can buy that tell you how far you have ran and you can always map quest a running path on the computer to see how far it is.

            If you are healthy and able I think you should trying running one day. You don’t need any extra equipment and it is an excellent way to get in shape and feel better about yourself while getting in a great workout. Once you try running you may never want to stop.
