Who Should Jog
The University of Iowa Hospital suggests jogging as a fitness routine for individuals who are already fit. Instead of jogging a beginner should walk. Once the individual's heart rate and breathing are normal while walking, a jogging routine may be started.University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics: Running or jogging -
Choosing a Good Pair of Shoes
WebMD suggests determining the arch size and the exact shoe size and width before purchasing a jogging shoe. Also, because the foot is also most swollen at that time, try them on in the afternoon to prevent purchasing shoes that are too small. WebMD suggests bringing in old shoes as the worn region will reveal the part of the foot that makes ground contact first. Getting good shoes will prevent exercise related injuries, like blisters, tendonitis, shin splints and plantar fasciitis.WebMD: How to Buy Running Shoes -
How to Jog
Women's Fitness suggests stretching before and after each jogging session. They also suggest a five to ten minute walk or slow jog to start and end each session. This allows the muscles to warm up, reducing the chance of injury.Women's Fitness.net: JoggingWomen's Fitness also encourages regular breathing while jogging to ensure the muscles are properly oxygenated. They state that jogging should be done with a good posture, tight abdominal muscles and that the arms should also be "pumped" back and forth.Women's Fitness.net: Jogging
