streets,in parks,and along special jogger's trails that have been built in some
cities.Many theories,even some mystical ones, have been advanced to explain the
popularity of jogging. The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap. quick and
efficient way to maintain physical fitness.

almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies,One can train more specially,as
by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for

lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth

prevent blisters and the foot, ankle and knee injuries and will also enable the
wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces.

suits,but just as many wear last year's clothes.

planned schedule are all it takes.
