How to jogg

body posture and drinking

Walking: Do not walk as though gravity is the enemy. All movement rotates best around your center of gravity. Walking is not all in your legs, it is also in your arms and upper body. Breathe deeply, swing your arms, stay on balance.

Walk stairs two at a time when you're ready. Rise smoothly from your toes. Then, put on your jogging shoes and sweats and walk.

Jogging: Good jogging starts with the thumbs and ends in the feet. Jog standing nearly straight up, with good posture, weight over your hips. Relax your thumbs, hands, arms, shoulders, neck, jaw, and mouth. Breathe through your nose and mouth. Land with your weight towards your heels. Don't jog on your toes, that puts all your weight on the small bones at the front of your foot, works against the natural lever-action of your foot, and may lead to injury. Running on the toes is for sprinters.

12 Jog at varying speeds, perhaps even walking or stopping for a while. Do whatever your spirit, your body, your ability suggest.
Warm up and walk down. The walk at the end of a jog can be a tremendously satisfying experience.

15. Good diet. The jogger's nutritional needs aren't all that much different from those of the general public, except for perhaps increased fluid and caloric input.

Immediately before, during, and just after running, the runner's drinking habits should concern him or her more than what's eaten. A pound of fluid may drain away in as little as two miles, and on hot days the rate may be faster yet. Fluids must be replaced. You needn't worry about drinking too much fluid, because your kidneys will unload the excess water in a matter of a few hours.
