What better way to start off 2010 with a new year resolution...
If you still don’t have one, then perhaps you wanna consider shedding off
those extra kilos by doing regular exercise.
One of the easiest and simplest way to lose weight is running.
There's no need for expensive gym equipments or club memberships.
No detox or drugs required...just a good pair of running shoes, running attire
and you can start pounding the pavements..
Here are some tips to get started:
Remember to do proper warm up & stretching exercises before attempting
to do any physical activity as it will help to prevent injuries and cramps.
It is also advisable to do stretches after the exercise as it reduces the after
effects of aches & pains normally felt the day after.
For beginners, you can start off slow just to build up your endurance and
stamina. Set a realistic target ie; 20 mins of continuous running/jogging or
1- 2km. As you progress, you can either increase the intensity by increasing
the time spent ie: from 20 mins to 30mins or distance ie; 1km to 1.5km.
I would suggest that beginners start off on running tracks so that you can
monitor your distances & timing.
Once you have better stamina and endurance, you may wish to attempt
pounding the pavements. Once again set realistic targets ie; making rounds or
loops within your own neighbourhood. As you progress, you can either increase
the distance or decrease the time taken for you to complete the distance.
If you choose to increase your distance, do it gradually and only do so if you
are already comfortable with the previous distance.
If you are attempting distance running, I would advise that you bring along
some cash or EZ link card as you never know when you might need them.
It is also necessary for you to hydrate yourself sufficiently before & after the
run. Drink lots of water to replenish what you have lost during exercise.
Isotonic drinks help to quench thirst and replenish fluids & electrolytes lost
through exertion & heat. It would also help if you have a running buddy or
partner as motivation is another plus factor.
To further improve yourself, take part in running events to experience the fun
& atmosphere. Start off by selecting non competitive events or fun runs with
short distances. This will help you to have a feel of running with other
participants. There is a lot of experience to be learnt by running in such events
and you can use this platform to roughly gauge yourself to see where you
stand before attempting to move on to bigger events with longer distance or
greater challenges.
Here is a list of events within Singapore & Malaysia in 2010. The dates &
venues are mostly accurate but it is still subjected to last minute changes by
the organizers. So... happy running and please feel free to add on to any other
events that I have missed.
