Tips For Winter Jogging

In all honesty I never liked jogging when I was younger, and I always tried to avoid it. But when I started training with my personal trainer he insisted that I train myself to jog and maybe run eventually. To make a long story short it took me good six months before I could actually start enjoying jogging.
Now I can't imagine my life without my daily routine of fresh air and all the great benefits that come with it. It is a really great way to start your day, get energized and speed up your metabolism.
Few safety tips to consider though before doing it in the winter time:

• Make sure to properly cover yourself up - wear a hat, gloves, sweat shirt, jacket, socks, sweat pants and running shoes. Proper running footwear is a must to avoid bad fall that could lead to serious injuries, therefore check out this article for winter footwear advice:

I also recommend:

• Moisturize your skin and lips against cold and wind.
• Wear sunglasses on a sunny or windy days to protect your eyes.
• Drink water before you leave the house.
• Start with a fast walk for a warm up, and then when you are ready - progress to jogging. 
• Breath in through your nose, breath out through your mouth.
• Start with 20 minutes in total and then slowly progress to longer time day after day.
• Do not stay out too long in below freezing temperatures.

Have fun!
