tip of the day: get running

When you want to start running make sure you follow these tips , it will make it all more easy!

- Start with a warm up!

" A good warm-up signals to your body that it will have to start working soon. By slowly raising your heart rate, the warm-up also helps minimize stress on your heart when you start your run. So you should start your runs with a brisk walk, followed by very easy jogging for a few minutes. The cool down allows your heart rate and blood pressure fall gradually, so it's important that you end your run with a slow 5-minute jog or walk. " www.running.about.com
