Ensure proper running form by visiting a local running store with an expert to fit comfortable shoes and assess your foot strike.
Focus on proper nutrition
Maintain a healthy diet, avoid processed and sugary foods, track calorie count with apps or online tools, and focus on fresh vegetables, lean protein, fruits, and whole grains.
Start slow to prevent injury
Slow and steady jogging is key to weight loss. Start with a warm-up, gradually increase jogging time and walk time, and set goals for walking. Focus on landmarks and cool down after each session.
Practice good Form
Adopting proper running form, keeping your head up, body slightly forward, and arms bent at a 90-degree angle, can prevent injuries. Resources include coaching, programs, and videos.
Incorporate strength training
Strength training is essential for preventing injury, improving athletic performance, and promoting weight loss through bodyweight exercises like planks, push-ups, squats, and lunges.
