What are the correct ways to jog?

Running is a method of physical exercise that people often choose in daily life, because running is not affected by the venue, and it also has a good effect on strengthening the body. When jogging, you must pay attention to the correct running posture, pay attention to relaxing your shoulders, and swing your shoulders naturally. So what are the correct ways to jog? Let’s take a closer look.

1. Jogging for half an hour should be done between 7 and 8 in the morning, because the sun has just risen, the air is the freshest and has been exposed to ultraviolet rays. Exercising too early will cause impurities in the air. The blood concentration of people who have just woken up is very high, and the elderly are prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The air quality is not very good for exercising at night.

2. When jogging, keep your upper limbs relaxed and your lower limbs flexible to prevent injuries. When jogging, you don't have to try to look like a professional athlete. Just exercise at a comfortable speed and in a relaxed state. Keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid hunching your chest. Swinging your arms naturally, breathing evenly, and breathing in and out every two or three steps will help regulate lung function.

3. Lean forward in a natural and comfortable manner. If you lean forward too much, it will increase the burden on your back muscles; if you lean back, it will cause excessive tension on your chest and abdominal muscles.

4. Do not shake your torso left to right or up and down too much. When swinging your legs forward, naturally push your hips forward and pay attention to the rotation and relaxation of your hips.

5. Swing your legs and knees forward and straighten them instead of lifting them up. Sideways movements can easily cause knee injuries. The calf should not be crossed too far to avoid strain on the Achilles tendon due to excessive force. Pay attention to the calf muscles and Achilles tendon cushioning the impact as you land. When you land, land softly on the ball of your foot.

The above has briefly introduced the correct method of jogging. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. I also hope that when choosing an exercise method, you must base it on your own situation and choose an exercise method that suits you now. Don’t pursue it blindly. Only a method that suits you can achieve the goal of strengthening your body.
