Jogging is the next natural steps from walking. Jogging is a form of trotting or running at a slow or leisurely pace with the main intention to increase fitness, endurance, and caloric expenditure.
Many long term studies have shown that psychically active people generally outlive their physically inactive counterparts.
Physically active people have about half the risk of developing coronary heart disease as those who are physically inactive. Jogging is an efficient and effective way to maintain or enhance the person level of cardiovascular fitness.
Thirty minuets of moderates to vigorous jogging reduce the risk for strokes.
Slow jogging in a regular basis decreases cellular resistance to insulin in amounts approximately equal to more intense exercise bouts.
Other benefits of jogging includes: weight loss, increase endurance, strengthened bones and leg, lowered cholesterol, blood pressure and heart rates, reduce anxiety, improved coordination and balance.
Jogging and running, like walking, involve rhythmic, forward action of the legs that target the large lower muscles of the body including the hip flexors, gluteus maximus, quadriceps, and hamstrings.
Assisting those muscles are the gastrocnemius and the anterior tibialis.
