Running Guide for Beginners



Thanks to all who are reading this post cos that’s a sure proof of their interest in running. It helps strengthen the heart and cardiovascular systems and also reduces excess body fat; however, starting a new running habit can be overwhelming for beginners. It is therefore always advised not to start a running habit blindly rather learn some basic information about the same.

Starting a running program is not as difficult as it seems; however, as a beginner, one needs a great deal of motivation, encouragement and determination to run on the track. If one starts running properly then he or she will soon be able to discover the mental and physical benefits of the same. People all across the globe are suffering from many common ailments such as High Blood Pressure (HBP), diabetes, and obesity to name but only a few.

One should not scrimp on price too much; as a beginner, it is not essential to buy a very expensive pair of shoes. Running shoes differ from walking shoes in terms of design and fitness, it is therefore, crucial to choose the right shoe for running, never compromise on quality because low-quality shoes might cause injury to the feet. In addition to running shoes, the other most essential thing is a water bottle – while running, the body loses excess of water in the form of sweats and this may cause dehydration and therefore, taking a few sips of water while running is essential.

When a person plans to run, one aspect that he or she should consider is safety during the running session.  For instance, run circular routes to avoid retracing steps, stick to well-populated roads or paths while running in the dark, try to be with friends or in a group, resist the urge to wearing headphones, and never explore unknown places, besides others.

Five Smart Beauty Tips by Jennifer Lopez


Jennifer Lopez – the most beautiful, glamorous, and charming lady says that beauty comes from inside; when you feel happy and confident, you are more beautiful. She does not talk about the glamorous way of looking good rather she talks about the practical approach through which one can look more beautiful.

Get some time for yourself: When you feel good, you appear good and this does not require you to spend the whole day at a spa. When Jennifer gets some quality time, she breathes and clears her mind. So, like Jennifer, at times, we also need to breathe.

Make your own style statement: Never copy others style because what suits others might not suit you in the same way. So, the best way is to create your own style – wear clothes, style your hair the way you feel comfortable from within.

Mingle with people: When you are surrounded by your closest friends, and family members, you feel happy, you laugh and the happiness comes from inside. You do not need to force yourself to show your happiness, it comes from inside. Jennifer loves meeting people and likes to be surrounded by people whom she is very close to.

Sleep on time: Jennifer loves sleeping, she says that when you sleep on time, and get up early the next day, you feel more energetic, and happy, but most often we do not stick to a routine. Just take a break – give it a shot, sleep early and wake up early and see the difference.

Balance your life: Jennifer says that she learnt the art of balancing her life and that is what reflects on her face. There must be a balance between your personal as well as professional life. It’s an art and one learns with time only.
