Warmimg up & heart rate

Warming up before a run will prepare the body to work out by elevating the heart rate and breathing, as well as loosening muscles. This results in a more productive workout as well as reduced chance for injury. If you train based on heart rate zones, you want to elevate your heart rate to the proper place before starting your workout.

Cheers and keep running!

A nice tip!

Running Hills Will Give You a Huge Butt
When trekking up hills, you'll definitely feel a strong burn in your buns, but that doesn't mean you'll become overly expansive in the trunk. Running hills will actually tighten a saggy tush, so you'll tone and sculpt your glutes without making them bulge.

Cheers and keep running!
