I hope everyone should enjoy the blessed life. As we are almost(?) classified as elders in the society, it can't be overstated enough to be alert on our health as well as mental soundness. I know and am surprised to find out most Koreans are busy for being healthy and young. Please allow me to state some of key information on how to slow down aging and protect our body from injury.
I have been enjoying running about 8 to 10km in the morning, three or four times a week for more than one and a half years. Because of my ignorance of the right way of running as well as protecting muscles, I have troubled with muscle pains very often. I think most of us never had professional training for those fields, we are susceptible to get hurts easily. That's why many people give up doing good exercises, rather relapse to the old bad habit of doing no workouts.
I find a very good website: www.runnersworld.com, which furnishes comprehensive information and resources related mostly with running but there are useful videos and contents such as information on the perfect running form, injury protection and also nutrition and weight loss. The site gives the most professional advises we can get for our health as well as running. It even gives the training schedule to anyone.
I find out that anybody can start running if he follows some important things:
1.Read and learn the perfect running form first from that site, which protect you from injuries or muscle pains. you can find the easiest and effective way of running. 2.If you are a beginner, run as slowly as you walk with breathing only thru your noses, never run faster than your heart and lung can sustain the normal condition. Taking a short stride is the key for the beginner. 3.Run every other day because our muscles should take rest at least 24 hours. the tonicity of our muscles are no longer flexible and strong as we were young, so we need to do some weight lifting when we do not run. 4.Watch the videos for injury protection and exercises for our weak parts such as ankle, knee, shin, calves and back, and do that exercise daily. 5.As we are not sprinters, what we need are persistence, stamina and speed. So we should concentrate on getting those three key factors.
We now teeter on the brink of getting ill and senile symptoms. we must brace for those unwanted days to come. We know health is everything, can't buy it but achieve it as long as we live like busy bees. I expect all of us to keep young as long as we can so that we can share love for the need and do the good things for others. Love ya!!!!! from Los Angeles... |
