Jogging is a great way to improve heart health, stamina, and overall fitness—but doing it the right way is important to prevent injuries. 1️⃣ Warm up properly Start with a fast walk, then gradually transition into a slow jog. Find a pace that feels comfortable and allows you to breathe easily. 2️⃣ Use correct technique Land on your heels and roll through the foot, pushing off with your toes. Keep your arms relaxed and swing them naturally to maintain balance and momentum. 3️⃣ Cool down gradually At the end of your jogging session, slowly reduce your speed until you return to a walking pace. Continue walking until your heart rate and breathing return to normal. 4️⃣ Stretch while warm Stretch your muscles while they are still warm, giving special attention to your calf muscles to reduce stiffness and prevent injury. 5️⃣ Build gradually Follow a run–walk routine for a total of 10 minutes every 2–3 days. Gradually reduce walking time and increase jogging time. Increase your running duration by no more than 10% at a time to avoid overtraining and injuries.
