A lot of people recommend exercising regularly to be able to reach the optimum level of health. They would especially recommend a regular exercise routine because they believe that doing it consistently will eventually get your body used to doing it. One of the most common routines is jogging.
ReplyDeleteThere are many benefits that jogging can give you. It can improve blood flow, decrease unhealthy cholesterol in the body and also increase one’s immune resistance to disease.
Now, jogging can be done in practically anywhere. You can jog while you’re inside the comforts of your own home. You can jog in the park during any season you desire. You can also jog along a bridge during winter.
The main problem here is how to dress for the jog. This is especially hard when you want to know the appropriate jogging outfit during winter. Luckily, I have prepared a mini-guideline based on my experience:
• Apply a moisturizer to prevent skin dryness and irritation. Put a scarf around your neck. You can also put warm and thin clothing over your nose to humidify the air you’re breathing in.
• Wear a long shirt in your innermost layer. Put two shirts over this. Wear a lightweight and warm winter jacket (usually made of fleece) over these layers.
• You can also put pocket warmers inside your jacket for added warmth. Personally, I use Helios Heater Pocket Warmers (http://www.heliosheater.com/) because they’re light and compact, not to mention stylish. To activate this, simply press the floating coin inside the heat pack and you’re all set.
• Put on two layers of socks. Wear running shoes that maintain traction on icy surfaces.
• Put on your gloves and mittens. As for me, before I dress up my hands, I use Helios Heater Palm Pads (http://www.heliosheater.com/) because it helps keep me warm while keeping my hands free.
There you go. You can start warming up first before jogging and warming up last after jogging.
Enjoy being healthy!
