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?
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
