Do You Really Want to be Fit and Healthy?

Posted on January 16, 2012 by James

So you want to be fit and healthy, but do you really?

The reason I ask this question is because most people think or say that they want to be fit and healthy but don’t do enough or anything about it.

For example, if you asked your family and friends if they want to be fit and healthy most of them are likely to say "Yes". Now look at what they are doing about it and you may find a completely different story.

So what about you…

Do you really want to be fit and healthy, or is just talk?

Nearly any run that can be completed outside can also be done on a treadmill and therefore the same running methods and strategies can be used.

One of the main aims when using a treadmill should be to run freely and use your natural running style, just as you would if you were running outside. While this sounds simple it’s something that many people just don’t do.

Do You Want to Run a Marathon Or Use Running to Lose Weight?

Posted on October 3, 2011 by James

Many people who want to use running to lose weight don’t consider what type of running methods are available or how they can use them to reach their goals.

However, this sort of training is far from the best way of using running to lose weight. Continue reading →
