How to run correctly?

Running is a very convenient way to lose weight. Although it seems simple, if the running posture is wrong, it will not only make you run hard, but also have adverse effects on some joints of the body. Running is not simple. The arm swinging movement and breathing method can affect the efficiency of running. Correct running posture is also a prerequisite for preventing injuries. Below I will introduce the correct way to run.

Remember these five elements to make running easier

Factor 1: Landing cushioning

If you have carefully observed other people running, you will find that many people land with the entire sole of their feet on the ground, and the sound when they land is relatively loud. The correct movement is that when running, the heel should touch the ground first, and then the entire sole of the foot should touch the ground. This is a kind of protection for the ankles and knees to prevent the occurrence of periostitis.

Element 2: Swing arm

Arm swinging is to maintain the body's balance and coordination during running, making the body swing more naturally and more in line with the rhythm of human movement. When swinging your arms, just remember not to leave your hands in front and your elbows behind, and swing naturally with your steps.

Element 3: Keep your head up and your chest out

Running is about keeping your head up and your chest out, which helps improve your body's respiratory and circulatory systems and establish a normal memory state. Because when you are running, your body is constantly consuming energy and is prone to fatigue. At this time, if you can use your will to straighten your spine, then it is actually very simple to improve your hunchback condition.

Element 4: Breathing

The breathing during running is deep and long. Generally, you inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. If your physical strength is seriously reduced, you can inhale through the mouth and exhale through the mouth.

Factor 5: Heart rate

Jogging, as a health-preserving aerobic exercise, should be distinguished from fast running. Generally speaking, the heart rate rhythm that is most suitable for physical exercise is: (220-age)×about 60%. You can take appropriate measurements when running.

The above is how to run correctly. No matter where you run, on a treadmill in the gym or on the playground, you must learn to use the accurate running method. Remember, you cannot relax and rest after running. You should continue to walk slowly until your whole body is relaxed, and then do some stretching exercises. This kind of exercise is correct and effective.
