jOGging tips for beginners

If you are planning to take up jOGging for the health benefits there are a few tips we can give you.....

• Start with brisk walking. Aim for 30 minutes per session. Allow a minimum of six weeks to build up to regular running. Aim to increase your jogging time each session, and alternate between walking and jogging.
• Ensure you warm up and stretch thoroughly. Cool your body down with light stretches when you return.
• Try to drink plenty of water before, during and after any activity.
• Wear loose cotton clothing. Dress your upper body in layers of clothing so that you can take off layers as required.
• Buy an appropriate pair of shoes.
