Run Downhill

Members Were Sparked

If you are having trouble starting a running routine and live in the mountains, start by running downhill. It can increase your confidence and make you stick with the workout long term.

MORE INFORMATION:
Arrange for transportation either at the beginning or end of your run; good options are a bus, a cab, a friend, or a family member.

Only run flat areas and uphills to avoid pain.311

MORE INFORMATION:
I have found that I CAN jog, but I do not run downhill. The impact causes major pain in my hips, knees and feet. If I do intervals, where I only run the uphills and flats on my 5 mile route, I avoid the pain and still get that heart rate buzzing!

If not by land then by water!

I really hate to exercise, it would cause so much pain. I needed to build up the muscles! So I started water jogging. Same benefits, much more fun, and no pain. You'll feel like noodle when you get out of the water though ;)
