If you run, run correctly

You may practice this healthy habit, but if you do it correctly. Running is great for all the muscles of the body, and nice weather just makes it more fun and more attractive.




    * Look ahead. Focus your eyes on the surface of the Earth 3 to 6 meters in front of you.
    * Do not run on fingers or toes. It causes pain, injury and a waste of energy. Try to run with the middle of the foot.
    * Keep your hands at waist height of a place where we could easily reach the hips. Let them be an angle of 90 degrees.
    * While you run, relax your hands, just lightly press them - kinda like having an eggs in your hands.
    * Keep your attitude flat and straight. The head should be lifted and the back straight. Check yourself from time to time.
    * Relax the shoulders in the right frame or directed forward, not bent inwards. If you move forward too, lungs could be pressed and you will breathe harder.
    * Swing with your hands forwards and backwards from your wrist rather than elbow.
    * Don't jump-run. Try to keep up closer to the surface and focus on quick change of pace. Conserve energy and save your feet from fatigue.
    * Avoid swinging arms from one side to another. If your hands are crossing the chest, most likely is that you feel limpness, which means that you don't breathe enough.
