Running may not be something that people just decide to take up on the spur of the moment. It is much easier not to exercise and many of us choose the easy option and either do very little or none at all.

However, it is very important to exercise, The British Heart Foundation recommends that we do 30 minutes of exercise 5 times a week where we get of breath.

This may seem like a lot, but it is worth it when you understand the health benefits of a healthier heart and a reduced risk of heart disease, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. You may not think that you are at risk but it can be scary if you look at the statistics and how many people suffer from these things.

Running is a great way to get your heart rate up with little effort. You do not have to go to the gym or join an exercise class. All you have to do is put on your running shoes and go outside your front door.

You can even do it on a treadmill if you would rather not go outside but it is the low cost of doing it outside which is a great advantage as well.
