Get Active!

It's easy. Here's how…

Check with your doctor when starting to run. This is Ясная Поляна в Туле especially important if you or your family have any heart problems, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, breathing problems diabetes or if you are overweight or smoke.

Get well fitting, well-cushioned running or cross-training shoes. If you run less than 10 miles a week and don't have a history of sports injuries, most entry-level running shoes will work for you. A specialty shoe store with knowledgeable salespeople can help you find a shoe made for your needs. Or send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to American Running to get a Running Shoe Database Questionnaire.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. If the temperature is cool, dress in layers to strip down as you warm up.

Ask a friend to join you. When getting started, it sometimes helps to find a friend to work out with. You'll motivate each other.

Keep a log. You'll be surprised and proud of much you are doing. It also makes it easier to track your progress.
