On Exercize

Posts Tagged ‘Work outs’

I recently came upon an interesting piece of information that I thought I should pass along.  It pertains to running.  A friend of mine who recently got into running has suffered an injury.  She broke her foot because she was running over six miles a day on the treadmill.  When she got the news that her foot was broken, she talked to her doctor about what may have gone wrong.

For starters, if you are considering running greater distances than you normally do, you need to make sure you are wearing the proper shoes.  They really do make all the difference.  If you are not wearing a proper running shoe, you are going to be more prone to injury.  To see what kind of shoe will best suit you, visit  http://www.mamashealth.com/run/runshoe.asp.

Another important tidbit I though was interesting is that her doctor also advised her not to run faster than 6 mph. He said that the treadmill is not made for our bodies to be moving faster than a medium run. It can be bad for your knees. I am not sure if I agree with this or not, but I can say that I used to only run 2 miles a day at a faster speed, but now I am running 3 miles a day at a slower pace. I am beginning to think that slowing down my speed is actually giving me a better workout!

I think we can all agree that one particular area of our bodies gets on our nerves.  Inner thighs.  With all the exercises that say they help, and no results, how are you ever supposed to fix your area problem?  While looking how to improve this problem, I searched around and found something that I truly believe may help.  I have been working at these tips for a few weeks, and have to admit, I do feel a little better about myself.  I think that one of the main problems with working out is if you do not see results almost immediately, you get discouraged.  

In order to see results, you must be willing to put in the time and effort of exercising.  If you are willing, then I advise you to visit this site and take their advice.  One thing people do not understand is that you can get a workout even when you are not at the gym.  Things such as brisk walking, and eating lighter and healthier are things you can do everyday that do not require you to go to the gym.  Doing these things in addition to daily workouts will increase your chance of seeing worthy results.  

The tips on the site will work, just give it time and hard work.  You are only hurting yourself if you do not take it seriously: http://www.annecollins.com/Weight_Loss/slim_thighs_exercises.htm
