Be healthy and fit this Christmas
RUNNING is known as the best form of exercise, but what makes it so good?
For starters, jogging helps to build stronger bones, strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular fitness, and helps maintain a healthy weight.
If you are new to jogging, all the tips on the Internet may overwhelm you. To complicate things, there is little credibility to the information.
Here are some tips to get you started on a gainful running habit. How do you actually go about it? 10,000 steps per day is the key.
According to research, numbers as low as 6,000 steps a day were shown to correlate with a lower death rate in men.
10,000 steps, however, can be too challenging for people who are elderly, sedentary, or who have chronic diseases.
For beginners, it can be difficult to achieve this goal.
It is recommended to add 2,000 to 4,000 to your daily count to reach the recommended level of physical activity and increase your activity to burn more calories.
There is a great way to go about achieving this and it is with, Gintell’s latest treadmill, CyberTREK.
It features a new technology called i-Treker – an intelligent step sensing system that accurately counts the user’s steps during exercise.
This allows users to accurately gauge and reach the daily target. CyberTREK’s i-Treker only counts the steps taken; hence standing on the skid while CyberTREK is still running is not counted.
The next major obstacle beginners may face is the running shoes. Running shoes feel comfortable wen you are standing in a shoe store, but the true test comes several miles after your run.
Getting the wrong pair can damage your kneecaps, especially when running on the road.
Intelligent system
Luckily, the CyberTREK treadmill uses the Intelligent Cushioning System (ICS), which greatly reduces the pressure on the feet, legs, and joints, saving one the hassle of finding the right pair of shoe.
Next, fluid intake is one of the common mistakes beginners make when they start their routine. Most people feel that it is inconvenient to bring a water bottle along when jogging.
Some might find that outdoor running creates more harm when inhaling toxic fumes while jogging during rush hours and the weather can be unpredictable.
With Gintell CyberTrek, there is no need to worry about disruption to running schedules as it is placed indoor. This enables a quick and easy access to fluid intake and a Bluetooth music connection provides for an optimal workout mood.
The most important aspect of picking up a healthy running habit is to have an understanding of one’s physical condition and not to over-exert oneself.
After a week or two, body condition can improve.
With 12 workout programmes in CyberTREK, users need only to focus on running.
Additionally, after every run, users’ Body Mass Index (BMI) can be determined as CyberTrek has the technology to do so.
Gintell is all about health, love and life.
