Things You Should Know About Running To Lose Weight

Okay more and more people are considering running to lose weight; heck I was one of those people who would get up early every morning to try to get a mile or two run in before I started my day. That was until I started noticing that my joints were more painful and I was starting to feel miserable.

Now most people are starting to run to lose weight; because they feel that weight will come off quicker. I am here to tell you that is not true. While you do notice that your heart rate does pump quicker; the truth is that I was miserable doing it for several months. I finally quit running to lose weight and have started walking to lose weight.

Of course I enjoy that more; I also integrate other forms of exercise that I absolutely love. So before you open that door and begin sprinting just in hopes of trying to shed some pounds; you may want to consider slowing it down some to give your joints a break.
