Hey, dude, I personally think coffee is a bad thing to drink, anyway I'm trying to lose some fats here and my first idea is to start off with jogging, do you have any tips for total beginner on how to start off with the jogging?

Hey man..sure. I'll be glad to help
Do you have a pair of running shoe? If not, here are afew things you can do.

Firstly, get your feet type checked. Whether you are flat, neutral feet, Arch type etc etc. You can make your feet a little wet and step on a piece of newspaper to check

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_type

http://www.runnersworld.ltd.uk/foottype.htm <== with some pictures


Once you know your feet type, You can get a pair of shoe that fits your feet type. No offense but I personally never used brands like BATA or Power for running. I have used shoes from New Balance or Saucony as they provide better cushioning and protection for your feet and leg. It might cost between RM200 - 300 but a simple pair will do..just look under the "Running" Category.

This video will show you some things about feet landing type and all. Hope it helps.




Do feel free to post questions at this thread

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/811093 <== Our running community.


Good luck and feel free to ask any questions in my journal or Runnerz thread. Hope I've helped you in one way or another.

I got a pair of adidas running shoe cost 200+, i wasnt sure though whether it suits me or not, but it doesnt hurt when i jog with it. i'm flat foot type anyway. However i noticed from my past that, most of my shoes the outer sides of my heel worn out pretty fast, for all my shoes that I threw were like that, what does this indicate?

How do you land your feet when running? Heel first? my right leg is also wearing out from the outer side but mine is at the FOREfoot.

I'm trying to correct my own running style as well.

Perhaps you should take your questions to the Runnerz Thread as I'm afraid of giving wrong information.

As the video advise, do not land on heel 1st as it puts more pressure on braking.

May be you're a supinator(landing outside first and then moving inwards).

Yo, some additional tips for ya..

- Set a realistic goal and objective. Keep reminding yourself on your goal will keep you motivated and determined. Be committed
- Get a good pair of jogging shoes. Adidas and Puma produce a wide range of affordable and durable shoes with good comfort
- 5 minutes warm up – stretching, jumps, arms/head/ankles circle
- Control breathing – 1sec Inhaling, 3secs Exhaling (it depends, different individuals might have their own preferences)
- Maintain arms close to body throughout with minimal “swinging” movement
- Jog at consistent pace with small steps. Aim for continuous jog without stoppage until you have completed the desired duration. Personal recommendation: 20 – 30mins for beginners, 40 – 50mins for intermediate, 2 – 3 times per week
- Get a partner or jog together with a group. This shall provide extra encouragement and prevent you from feeling bored
- Choose a suitable place for jogging. Personal recommendation: beach, field, jogging track, treadmill
- Avoid too frequent jog or jog over a long duration on tar or cement road. This is bad for your knee cap
