Running Can Rejuvenate Your Soul and Your Energy!

Finding the motivation to put on your running shoes and going running after work, or a bad news week, like this week, seems pointless; but it’s not. Running can instantly rejuvenate your soul and your energy. You have to keep on running and walking regardless. Why? Because it’s empowering, and it works!  

Once you start running it gets easier to keep running, and when you are finished, like magic, LIFE is so much better. There are physiological reasons why this is true. I am always happier after my RUN/WALK program. (Run some and Walk some). If you have any health condition, please check with your doctor first before starting a program. Otherwise, get out there today.   

Tip #2 Run some/walk some every other day. You don't have to run and walk every day to enjoy the benefits of a RUN/WALK program. You only need to do it every other day for at least 15 minutes to start. It doesn't matter what your age, sex, weight, or condition is, you will benefit from exercising every other day for 15 minutes. You will naturally improve as you keep running. Don’t quit!

It doesn’t matter if you walk, run or both. The benefit in burned calories is almost the same, depending on how hard you run or walk. Both of these exercises guarantee you will improve your overall health and conditioning. Trying is believeing.

I weigh 250 lbs., and I don't appear fat. Why? Because I am in good condition. Running makes you feel better about yourself. If I can run for long distances without tiring, I must be getting thinner and healthier. And that makes me feel empowed about my health. 

The beneifts are obvious. My belt size is now 36" from 46” two years ago. The wife loves that. The grandchildren miss the big belly. My belt size is healthy for my height 6’ 4." However, the weight charts scream, I am overweight by 30lbs.! And, I am according to the weight charts. Need to work on that.

Nevertheless, I am much thinner since I started running. Running affects your eating habits. It's not just about a bunch of running, it is about empowering yourself. Running is about improving or changing bad habits in order to become beter every other day. This thinking spills over into your life habits. Just ask a runner.   

And with that said, I running in the London Marathon Sunday. I want to thank you for your kind comments and donations to  NEW LIFE Foundation for Disabled Children.
