However, the allure of the sport is very strong for many, and you just might find yourself running competitively before too long! Running is one of the best activities most people can do to improve their health. Running regularly can help with weight loss, fighting aging and disease, and with generally staying healthy.
Why take up running? Because it is the simplest, fastest and the most accessible way to fitness and good health. You don't need a partner; you don't need equipment, a court, or a gym; you can exercise the dog at the same time and you don't need much time either. A mere 20 minutes run, three or four times a week is enough to make you fit. Running outdoors in the fresh air reinvigorates the mind as well as the body. You will find that not only your physical energy levels will be enhanced but that you will enjoy a feeling of well being that is reflected in having a more positive mood.
