How I got into running? - I only started around 12 months ago. Before that I absolutely saw it as pointless and uninteresting.
Why change?
My friends would always say that it is the simplest form of being active and I found their progress inspiring.
I decided to give it a go.
And you know what? I started enjoying it.
I can’t say I am good at it, but that is not important.
I more jog than run, and I still need to balance it with walking, but so really love getting outdoors, feeling fresh air on my face. Just me, my dog, sometimes AirPods and whatever I want to listen to.

If I can do it, so can you. Give it a go and try!

Let me know in comments how it went.

Myths about running:

‼️“Running will hurt my knees and result in arthritis when I am older.”
💥There is a growing evidence to show that recreational running can protect against the development of knee osteoarthritis.

‼️“I was injured because I didn’t stretch enough before I ran.”
💥Research shows that static stretching does not reduce the risk of injury, and can actually increase the performance. You should do dynamic stretching as a part of general warm up.

‼️“I was injured because I wore the wrong shoes for my foot type.”
💥Evidence is lacking to support the idea that any particular shoe type can help prevent injury. Runners should, however, avoid any rapid changes in shoe type and monitor their overall training load to reduce their risk of injury.

‼️“I should do high-rep, low-resistance strength training to build the strength I need for running.”
💥This is misconception. Muscular endurance is improved during running, so endurance exercises shouldn’t be the focus. A heavy resistance - training programme, twice weekly for six weeks or longer, has been shown to improve running performance and reduce injury risk.

ACTIVE TIPS - Making the difference:
Do jumping jacks after each time you go to the bathroom. Going to the bathroom is something you can’t avoid or brush off, and most people go about 6-7 times a day.
This means that if you do five jumping jacks each time you come out of the bathroom, you’ll be doing around thirty or thirty-five jumping jacks every day. Little steps...

Small Steps: If you can’t bring yourself to get off the couch, purchase a hand grip to squeeze while watching television (or squeeze old tennis balls). This will burn a few calories and get you accustomed to the idea of moving your body again.

Who controls it all? How do we move?

All of the body's voluntary movements are controlled by the brain 🧠

The area most involved in the process is the motor cortex. The brain and nervous system are key to controlling the movement of our body, as well as for lots of tasks we perform 💃

That’s why we should take care of the brain. A balanced diet, that contains fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals protect our brain from oxidative stress 🌰

Take care of your mental and physical health 🤍

How do you take care of your brain?

It is a strong, stabilising pose that works muscles from the deepest layers inside you to the most superficial. ⚡️When holding plank you are giving your body a thorough, strengthening workout.

Plank particularly strengthens your shoulders and entire core - including your abdominals, back muscles, and pelvic floor muscles.

ALIGNMENT:
Your hands are under your shoulders or slightly forwards. Without moving them, pull them back towards your feet to engage your core. Imagine diagonal line from your heels to your hand.
🔥Press heels back.
🔥Keep feet hip distance apart.
🔥Keep spine neutral and core engaged.
🔥Keep hands under your shoulders, pressed down and back.
🔥Keep your elbows soft, not locked!
🔥Position your head, so your crown of head would reach forward.

⚡️Try holding plank for 30 sec at the beginning. Make a small brake and repeat 2 times. After a week extend time to 45 sec, 60 sec, 90 sec. Always keep 3️⃣ rounds.

Let's go outdoors and have some fun!

Outdoor walks are so beneficial. Don't let the weather stop you.
Raining? 🌧
Take an umbrella and wellies and have a puddle jump. ☂️
Cold? - wear a warm clothes, hat and scarf. Don't forget the gloves.🌬❄️
Snowing? Great - let's make a snow angel or snowman. ☃️

It is too cold here to make a snowman. Snow is not sticky enough. 🙁So I went for a snow angel. It was great to feel like a kid all over again😁

It is really great to go outdoors in a lunch time. Do something goofy or fun. Get a bit of activity. Have a walk. Get some fresh air.
