Need To Exercise

Postby davidbanner99@ » Mon Dec 07, 2020 10:09 pm

I think it was the mid 1970s when the jogging craze kicked in. People buying a tracksuit and hitting the road. These days I see the odd jogger but not many. I already ride a bike to get some cardiovascular exercise but thought maybe I could run again.
Good thing about jogging is it boosts dopamine which itself aids sleep. It should also increase energy and speed the metabolism.
Secret is not to go overboard. You can do too much.
This was touched upon in the Forest Gump movie where Forest found he liked to run. Good thing about it is it can be quick too. No need to travel back and forth to a gym.

Having seen so many illnesses and deaths (usually age related), I conclude a safer bet is to focus on heart and lungs. This is the engine of the body. We need to take weight very seriously too. Your heart has to supply blood and oxygen to the whole body and it evolved to cope with a given load over so many decades.
Running or cycling is convenient as it's fast and easy to get done. A decent jog could take just half an hour. Better on grass too.
Very often people with depression go overboard and jog too much. However if you allow for rest days it could be ideal for health.

Running is good i do it sometimes, on a smaller level than i used to, but exercise is important. Cardio is good but i use the dumbbells at home more often now.
