Whether you're running for joy, running for exercise, running for “peace and quiet," or running with friends, there is much to be gained from running on a regular basis.

Regular running that is properly supervised by your physician, or licensed exercise professional can provide you with the following benefits:

• Improved cardiovascular health
• Coordination improvement
• Lower stress levels
• Better mood and outlook
• Decreased bone and muscle loss
• Improved bone health
• Slowing down the aging process
• Weight loss and maintenance

Now is the time to start a running program. Starting is much easier than most people believe. New runners might want to make a visit to their physician. Then pick out a pair of running shoes and get going!
