These are hardly "tips" or ground-breaking news. But do you know what else can make you healthier from the inside out? written by Craig Elliott Elliott We all know what it's like to make a New Year's Resolution with the best of intentions. We start out really positive, really motivated, really strong. No matter what the resolution, though, after about three weeks it just doesn't seem to be at the top of our priority list any longer. written by Craig Elliott Elliott You have reached that level. You are officially a "gym rat", plodding along every day at a comfortable level, and you are comfortable with your body, too. It is not looking too bad, you are trim, and you fit in your jeans quite well. One day, however, you noticed you actually started to have shape to your muscles - and lines where you didn't have them before! How cool! You are motivated to get to the "next level" … but how to do that? written by Craig Elliott Elliott You have done it! You've lost fifteen pounds over the last six months and you know you are on your way to where you want to be. However (and it's a big “however”!), you can't seem to rid yourself of the last stubborn ten that seems intent on sticking to your thighs and rear end. Your weight loss goal was twenty five pounds, and you know other people have done it-so how do you do it? What is the best way to lose those last, stubborn ten pounds? written by Craig Elliott Elliott We all have been there. You're running along, 72 degrees and sunny and you're on your favorite, fresh trail. You glance up at the cloudless sky, grateful to be alive, and BAM! A huge rock crosses your path out of nowhere and you hit it and fall. Your ego is bruised, but worse yet your ankle is a mess. It hurts so badly you have to end your run right then and there and hobble back to your car. Then something else hits you: What if you can't run after this? written by Elysha Elysha In response to "you" trying to be who you think you are the mind is fed the energy of this one that enlivens all and as a result of that the mind has grown to become the informancy of this mindbody that it governs. This is not its rightful place. written by chan chan One of the great thing in running is that you only need one piece of equipment. The con thing is that the equipment, your running shoe, is so important that it gets buried under millions of dollars of hype, advertising, and confusing technobabble.
A couple of decades ago, the world was a simpler place, and so were running shoes. Today, simple, canvas sneakers are as dead as Elvis, which is not necesarily a bad thing. In just about every way, today's shoes are whole lot better-more durable, more protective, and more comfortable-than ever before.
The one con thing: they are also much more complicated. Why? Because running, while it's a simple sport that almost everyone can do, focuses your feet and legs through a fairly complex series of movements. With all the high-tech running shoes available today and all the special features that each shoe claims to have, picking the right pair can be a daunting task. There are some steps that you can follow to find a good pair of running shoes.
Running is a complex biochemical process in which, generally speaking,you strike the ground first on the outside of your heel. Next, your foot rolls downward and inward slightly as it meets the ground. And lastly, the heel lifts from the ground, and you push off from the ball of the foot to move forward. The rotation of the foot downward and inward when you land on the ground is called pronation, and it's a completely natural and normal process.
Your foot type and degree of pronation determine the characteristics that you will need in a running shoe. You can see the shape most clearly by looking at the bottom of the shoe. In general, running shoes come in three shapes-straight, semicurved, and curved-which correspond to the three types of footprints revealed by the wet test. Most experts believe that overpronators should wear a shoe with a straight shape, supinators should wear a shoe with a curved shape, and normal pronators should wear a shoe with a semicurved shape. There are a few other characteristics to consider.
How much money should you pay? Any shoe costing $60 or more, no matter who manufactures it, should provide the primary features and protection you need. Spend the money. A good pair of running shoes should last for 400 to 500 miles and is the only critical purchase you should have to make. When you spend more, you will get more durability, more features, and more quality. << previous page 1 2 next page>> |
