Running Benefits!


1. Overall Mental Health...
...causes the body to release endorphins, which make you more happy

2. Reduces Asthma...
...strengthens your lungs and the connecting respiratory passages to help you breath better long term

3. Prevent High Blood Pressure...
...the arteries grow wider in diameter and contract while running to help them stay "fit", which maintains a healthy blood pressure

4. Stronger Immune System...
...you'll experience less minor illnesses

5. Lose Weight...
...the up and down movement of fat helps to break it down

6. Physical Strength...
...builds lower body strength (especially tendons and ligaments)

7. Higher Bone Density...
...when you place stress on your bones your body relocates essential minerals to them, so as you run there's an additional batch of minerals sent to your bones, which increases the density over time

8. Joint Strength & Balance...
...running strengthens your tendons and ligaments to help increase the strength in your joints

Enjoy!
