Millions all over the world love running, or jogging if you prefer, because there are so many great health and wellness benefits. Running is adaptable to any surface or location on the planet - except maybe Antarctica - sorry. Today we're offering a couple of sound pieces of running advice, and you really should remember them so you'll get the most out of your exercise.

It is extremely important for joggers and runners to pay special attention to their footwear. Also be sure to wear thick socks made for athletic shoes. While jogging is beneficial, it puts a lot of impact on your feet and ankles so without good running shoes, you risk a variety of problems. They need to fit your feet well and be comfortable and you need to replace them when they start to wear out. To make sure you get the best shoes for you, try out several styles and brands.

For those that haven't exercised in awhile, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor before you start jogging. If you have any health problems, this is especially important. While almost everyone could benefit from jogging, your doctor will have specific advice for you based on your medical history. Your doctor will most likely encourage you to try jogging since it can accommodate all fitness levels. But in care there are special precautions that you should be taking, it's still wise to talk to him or her first.

Do be sure to learn how to warm up, stretch, and then afterwards you'll want to warm down and stretch a little, as well. Never run at full speed or high intensity and then just stop cold; you need to take it easy coming down so you can cool off and warm down. It's common sense, we think at least, that you want to ease into your run by going slow, and then you gradually reduce the pace until you are no longer running. Learn how to do proper stretching exercises, and then do them before and after each run - every time.
