Running is considered one of the most complete exercises that helps you burn more calories. When running, you can not only gain endurance, strength, aerobic power, and speed, but it also acts as a relaxant and brings pleasure, as running releases hormones that make us feel good. Some of the advantages of running as part of your exercise routine are: - Burns calories - Strengthens the heart - Tones muscles - Helps with weight loss Additionally, you can run without special equipment and at any time you have available, burning many calories, more than other forms of exercise. To run properly, we recommend the following: - You need a good pair of running shoes. - It is preferable to run outdoors. This way, the body needs to adjust to different types of terrain and burns more calories. - If you use a treadmill, vary the speed and incline. Do not run the entire distance at the same speed because the body is very efficient and learns not to burn as many calories, so you need to surprise it with constant changes. - Do warm-up exercises or start walking before running to avoid injuries. - Do stretching exercises at the end of your routine to prevent injuries and reduce soreness. - Prefer to run on natural terrain rather than on cement or hard surfaces.
