How to Run
Tips & Warnings:
Keep well hydrated
Stretch before and after run
Running may cause injury be sure you are running properly with the right shoes
DO NOT overwork yourself! This can cause torn muscles.
How-To Steps
Step 1:
First you need a good pair of running shoes. I would recommend going to your nearest athletic shoe store and asking a sales rep the best kind of running shoes. If you pronate or supernate you will need a specific shoe to help with that problem.
Step 2:
Before beginning your workout, remember to stretch your muscles. Stretch for about 10-15 minutes before workout. After stretching, begin a warmup jog for 10 minutes to get your body ready, and warmed up.
Step 3:
While you run, keep a good posture with arms at a 90 degree angle, and hands lightly cupped. While running don’t land on your heel, landing on your heel when running is causing you to brake and making your run more harmful to your muscles.
Step 4:
When running land midpoint of your foot and push off on your toes, this will give you more stability as well as power.
Step 5:
Make sure you do a cool down run as well as a vigorous stretching session. Stretching your muscles after a run helps build muscles, and also will help prevent sore muscles. Also, drink plenty of water after your run.
