What benefits does running daily have?

[roshin8]

I've been running for almost a week now but I'm doing it just for maintaining my weight. Does it have any other benefits?

Good for blood circulation. Cardiovascular health. Getting oxygen into the blood stream. Metabolism. Getting the endorphins good feel brain receptors going. General sense of well being particularly when it has become a habit. Worst part of course is to do it for a week or two, then stop for a month, and stop start. Then it can work counter productive.

Thank you!
Can you elaborate on how it can work as counter productive?

Well, you could always Google it of course. But from the top of my head it could be counter productive if you don't do it regularly - i.e. you stop and start a program all of the time, if you don't do warm ups before running, and if you have any known medical conditions. So maybe you need to consult with your doctor before. It could also be counter productive if you do it for a too long time without a break. You can develop chronic injuries like shin splints, foot, knee or leg injuries. It can also be counter productive if you don't wear the right running shoes.

Oh wow! I had never thought about all these. Thank you for bringing all these information into light. I'll google more about it.

It is not very good to run every day, your muscles need to rest.

... if you don't do warm ups before running ...

Running is a good way to warm up. Just make sure you don't start out too fast. I always want at least 3 kilometers of easy running before running at high speed.

It is not very good to run every day, your muscles need to rest.

Running every day is fine if you build up to it slowly, but if you are new to running it might not be such a good idea. Maybe it's doable if you run very short distances but then you will probably be spending more time changing clothes and showering than actually running.

If you run often you have to be much more careful so that you don't do too much. It can be hard because it can feel good for a few days or weeks but then the fatigue or stress has built up to the point where you are forced to rest. For me it's usually the knees and the back of the right thigh that let me know if I do too much. It comes slowly over time and goes away slowly as well so it's a kind of balance between running as much as possible and not risking future training sessions.

You lose weight. You improve your heart rate, you slim down your body. Theres many things that benefit you from running. Take protein too, might increase the time.

Thanks, but I rather not take proteins. I like it natural and rely on Fruits and Vegetables

Increase in physical activity can improve things such as reaction time

Running allows you to move parts of your body as quickly as you thought.
Accident prevention, injury can be minimized. I can feel everyday meals tasty.
I am enjoying the change of the outside.

It helps you lose weight initially, but after a period of time your body gets used to the load and you have increase either your running time or the speed. I prefer balancing running with gym workouts. Running also can sometimes cause your knee joints and other areas of your body to ache, so I sometimes switch between other cardio exercises

Stretch your legs and waist before you go so you don't get muscle cramp. Youtube do some good warm-ups and yoga which should work for this.

2. Nutrition - The more exercise you do, the more protein and calcium you're going to need. Eating protein within 4 hours helps you to build those muscles. Some athletes eat too little for their exercise and can suffer bone problems.

You can do fine with just regular food. If you run a lot you will need a lot of energy and if you just eat normal food you'll automatically get plenty of nutrients when you eat more. Not saying you shouldn't eat healthy food but that is probably even more important if you're not exercising.
