Running For Self Improvement
Motivational Tips for Beginning Runners
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008by Dave Elger
Having trouble getting out the door? Here are a few tips to help keep you motivated.
Pick a goal. A performance goal. Maybe a race, or just a specific workout. I recently met a woman that was so proud when she ran 30 minutes without stopping, I could tell something had really clicked with her. She is hooked.
Fat People Running
Monday, August 18th, 2008In the The Fat Run: It’s No Joke , I hit on the health implications of fat people and how running and proper diet can alleviate some of these concerns.
Beleive me, I have the same problems. Sadly I see the only time fat people are running is right after new years and it seems to fall off soon afterwards. The New Years resolutions are great after eating your fill of turkey and stuffing. But once one hits the pavement it becomes old very quick.
Fat GuyS Running?
Monday, March 24th, 2008As a career fitness professional, I inherently check out the gym patron’s exercise form in the weight room.
While other people are checking out the woman in the pink spandex, I am doing my job off the clock. I notice that many people perform their exercises improperly, too fast, bad lifting technique, incorrect angles to name couple things. But even so, most of them are still lifting weights.
The Effects of Regular Running on Your Mental Acuity
Friday, December 28th, 2007Certainly running can be very good for your health. It not only strengthens the expected
areas of our bodies, such as the cardio vascular system and the obvious leg muscles, it
can also heighten our mental acuity as well. Running can help not only build your will
power; it can also help raise your self esteem. When running is utilized as a regular
activity, most individuals find that their concentration is enhanced and that they are able
to focus much more easily end can retain that focus for a longer period of time.
Give Yourself an Ego Boost with Running
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007There are many benefits to be gained from running, including boosting your ego. Often, you may get this boost right from the start, before you even start to notice the many other benefits. Running will push you, physically and mentally, to do more, work harder, and push yourself, not only in running, but eventually, in all aspects of your life. Soon you will find that you have more confidence in yourself and your abilities, and that you are ready to face any obstacle that life may throw at you, which if your life is like mine, occurs quite frequently.
