General and Specifics
- Jogging is one of the most effective cardio exercises, when it comes to stimulation of the circulatory system, to reduce your body fat percentage and doing something for the general fitness
- at first, not the pace is important, but the correct technique
- a faster pace automatically comes from your motivation and a regular workout then
- warm up with some easy exercises like the High Knees in Place
Starting Position
- choose a location with a softer underground (for example a sports ground)
Correct Execution
- come into motion
- hold your upper body upright and vertical to the ground during the training
- look straight ahead, not down
- important: land on the middle part of the foot and roll it up forward
- push yourself forward with the front part of the foot
- avoid arching your back, otherwise the oxygen transfer can be confined
- breath in through nose or mouth, breath out through the mouth
- swing your arms at the sides of your body, not in front
- if you have a stitch, lower the pace and take some deep breaths
- try to hold out for 30-60 minutes
- after the jogging training, walk around with normal pace for a bit
tip for the workout
- use weight cuffs for more intensity
