Running is a great way to get yourself in shape

. It speeds up your metabolism, tones and firms your body and aids in your digestive system. Running is definitely a good form of exercise.

Once you start running you will not want to stop. There is a certain rush that you get from running that occurs after you get through the initial feeling of exhaustion after a run. Once that feeling settles you will notice an increase in your energy level and a boost in your spirit. Your body will feel toned and firm in the areas of the hips, calves, hamstrings, buttocks, thighs, lower back and more.

Another plus for those who run is your improved mental status. If you notice that you are a little depressed running will help to eliminate this feeling. The reason that running helps with depression is clear. Running helps to control hormone levels in the body that regulate our mood. Running helps to keep our mood upbeat and positive while relieving our stress and anxiety.

Find a friend to run with. Even though you cannot really talk to each other too much when you run, it is still nice to have someone along. It is safer too.

Wear good supportive clothing to run in. Spandex shorts are ideal to avoid chafing. A cotton tee shirt is good, as it absorbs well. A good bra for women is a necessity. Running shoes and socks are equally as important. If your feet hurt, you will not want to run.

Find a good area to run in and track it for distance. You will want to know how much you ran to help boost your enthusiasm to keep going. Check out your local community center as they may have a running track.

Set yourself little goals. Every time you reach the next goal, keep it up for a few days until it begins to get easier and then boost your goal up another notch. There is something exciting in reaching each new accomplishment.
