Running is the big sport in fashion. For several years, many people have been getting into it, and the list of short or long distance shopping is getting longer and longer.
Are you also thinking of joining the movement, but are you still hesitating? Here are 5 good reasons to run.
1. It’s an accessible and inexpensive sport
No need for equipment, no need to necessarily register in a club, no need to learn a specific technique for several sessions before mastering running.
Once you’ve decided to start, buy a good pair of suitable sneakers, a breathable and light outfit, and get started.
2. It’s a complete sport with many benefits
By running, you use many parts of your body:
- Your lower limbs
- Your thighs
- Your calves, which allow you to lengthen your stride and move forward
- Your abs
- Your back muscles to stay sheathed and straight
3. It’s a sport that protects your body
Contrary to popular belief, running does not hurt, at least no more than any other sport, if you practice it correctly.
4. It’s a sport with rapid progression
Provided you are regular, you will quickly see the progress happen. Start slowly so as not to get sick of yourself, going out for 15 minutes at a slow pace at the start. Gradually you will be less out of breath and able to run faster and faster, and also for longer.
5. It’s a sport to practice everywhere, all the time
Between noon and two, on vacation or even indoors on a mat. Running is practiced in all weathers provided you are well protected from the sun in the middle of summer and are equipped for the rain.
The more you run, the more you will want to run, the better your posture, the more muscular you will be and the more effective and beneficial the following workout will be. It is a virtuous circle in which one can only feel good.
