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.

Kapoposang is one of the largest of the Spermonde Islands, around 70 km northwest of Makassar, South Sulawesi. Kapoposang covers an area of around 50.000 hectares and is inhabited by around 100 families. Several other islands, both inhabited and uninhabited, lie near Kapoposang. The larger ones include Papandangan, Kondongbali, Suranti, and Tambakulu.

Kapoposang and the nearby islands were declared a Nature Tourism Park by the Departement of Forestry in 1999. Diving has been an important activity at Kapoposang. There were so few local divers at the time, and because of the distance from other wellknown diving areas in Indonesia, Kapoposang has basically remained a secret.

The best time to visit Kapoposang is between April and November, when the seas are calm, the weather favorable, and the wind less fi erce than in the other months. The trip takes two hours by speedboat; the ocean breezes help to cool your skin in the hot morning sun. As you approach Pulau Kapoposang, you see the deep blue water, which suddenly meets an expanse of coral reefs between extensive shallows with white sands in the seabed. Sea grass also grows lushly near the shore. The sea bed at Kapoposang has a unique composition; near the island are some quite shallow contours, and then suddenly steep underwater cliffs leading to seemingly endless depths. The water is very clear, you can expect underwater visibility of over 15 meters – ideal condition for divers.
