By Mellie Dodsworth


We all know that cardio workouts are an essential part of any fitness regime and there are a large number of ways you can get the aerobic exercise you need. Your cardiovascular system includes your heart and lungs which is what you are attempting to strengthen by employing a cardiovascular workout. One way to get a good cardio workout is to attend a gym and use the various equipment there in order to get your workout. Some people just do not want to, or can't afford to join a gym, which is where running comes into play. In the following paragraphs we will go through the benefits of running and how to make sure you begin in the right way to keep clear of injuries or over training.

One of the advantages of running is that you can do it almost everywhere and you can also create different routes for your run to prevent you from getting bored. From the very beginning, even before you commence your running, you will need to take in to consideration what you should be wearing and if you may need other things also. Your first stop really should be at a sporting goods store to get a good quality pair of running shoes. You will find different types of running shoes based on your level of experience as well as how fast you plan to run. Some people begin their search for their running footwear online as they can get free advise from skilled runners who can tell them the best place to start out. You really should also keep in mind that when you begin to improve you might want to think about acquiring better running shoes to keep up with your new level of skill.

If your first starting out it is advisable to wear comfortable t-shirts and shorts although you will also want to start thinking of buying better clothing. On the other hand, you will want to purchase these as you begin to run more seriously and one added advantage of having the right gear is how this will make you feel. You have to remember that if you look like a skilled runner, you will also have that mindset which can help you get more out of your running. There are also many gadgets which can help you as you progress including running watches, heart rate monitors and GPS technology that can help you calculate speed and distance for instance. You should also try to pay more attention to any kind of traffic you have on the road if you decided to get headphones so you can listen to music while you run.

With regards to all the extra equipment and devices you don't have to go out and buy them all at once, you can simply add those things as you continue to run more and more. In addition, you need to remember that when you first begin running you may not be able to run that far, which is fine, in time your distance and pace will improve.. You also don't need to start running 10 miles every day, start off with smaller distances and also at a reduced speed you will improve in time but don't over do it once you start. As a result, gradually you will improve and you may even monitor the distances to actually keep track of your improvements.

In time you will begin to feel and look much better but this is not only about that, you have to remember the better you feel and look the better you will end up feeling about yourself.
