First tip: It is the right time to start running. Running and all other physical exercises are good for your body whatever your age is. Regular exercises could provide ideal benefits: you would have more energy; the chances of developing a heart ailment would be decreased; you could sleep better and get more relaxation; and you would be able to lose weight. In treadmills, you do not have to worry about rains, extreme heat, or snow. In the comforts of a closed indoor space, you can work out to your heart s content. You can safely wear your iPods and headphones and listen to your favorite music while exercising. (For relative safety, use of headphones for music listening had been discouraged for outdoor runners. With a chest strap and wrist unit, heart rate monitor displays information on the heart rate and calories burned. Depending on the results of the heart rate monitor, a runner can figure if his training is working and at an appropriate intensity. 6. Running watch. Because of its multiple uses, a running watch is almost a necessity. You would notice that when you run regularly or everyday, your body could manage to comfortably run longer. In the process, your hips, thigh, and your abdomen would get better shapes. When running up or down the stairs, do not forget the fact that there surely are risks or dangers in doing so. Be very careful especially in putting your feet on each step of the stairs. Hydration and dehydration Of course, we all now know how important water is when it comes to strenuous exercises like running. One thing about water is that it is not ideal either to get very little or too much of the fluid. Severe dehydration (loss of water) and over-hydration both cause serious consequences on the body, including death. If you would get physically moving like walking or running instead, you could effectively help avoid accumulation of stored body fat, which is responsible for excessive weight accumulation. The result of an idle or sedentary lifestyle: obesity or drastic weight gain. Unfortunately, when you have gained a lot of weight, losing those pounds would be very harder.
