If you get up early in the morning you will see an unusual sight. In city parks and in city streets, lot of boys and girls, or men and women are already up and busy. But they are not working or going anywhere. They are exercising. Some are playing football or badminton and some others are jogging. What is jogging?
Jogging is a gentle running. Why is jogging so popular today? Why do people jog? People jog to relax themselves, to keep themselves fi t, or simply to enjoy themselves. Our world today is a world where life is comfortable and easy for many city people. Fast buses, cars, or motorcycles take us to work or to school. Lifts carry us quickly from one fl oor to another in large buildings. So many people get very little exercise.
What do you need to start jogging? You only need a pair of running shoes, an old pair or jeans or shorts, a sweater, and a little courage. Don’t be embarrased if you meet your neighbour as you return home, hot and tired. When you begin jogging, start by running some of the way and then walking. Don’t jog too far to begin with and jog slowly. Once you develop a regular jogging programme, you will feel fi t and well, and you will be ready to start a busy day feeling fresh and awake.
Next time you are at the swimmingpool, look at the poeple around you, especially those who are over thirty. How many of them have a fat stomach? Now you understand why more people today go jogging or do some other sort of exercises.
