Cross country Herald I It should be emphasized that not all people are meant to be runners A physical deformity or an old injury may prevent many people from running There are many other means of achieving aerobic fitness such as striding roller skiing and swimming and cycling If you have not been active for a number of I think wise to start out by Striding Striding is basically the same exercise as walking with longer than normal steps Striding is achieved by placing greater emphasis on the push off foot to lengthen the normal stride Striding can be maintained by accentuating the arm action Let both arms swing freely so that they arc to your body A good arm swing will automatically help propel the legs and will enable you to maintain a good brisk pace Measure off a course that is not too demanding and gradually increase your daily mileage over a week period until you have worked up to a minute workout At the end of th lime period you may want to start a running program Before doing so however you should check your heart rate in order to find your specific training heart rate Start out slowly on a measured course You may want to measure the distance around the block where you live if you are running outdoors After completing one or two laps you might want to all it a day Dont push yourself the exhaustion point hen you feel fatigue slow down and walk or jog slowly back to the starting point Cool down do some stretching exercises and call it a day Set a realistic goal for yourself For example mile course for two weeks try I run a threequarter mile course for the next two weeks and so on Remember only you know your limitations and how you feel Over the years have seen too many people give up on a running program because they have become obsessed with the stop watch you are running for fun for aerobic conditioning and for your own satisfaction During the first few months your goal should be to complete say a one or two or even a five mile run depending on your individual tiomng At a later date you might want to lime yourself in order to find out your per mile pace Then you can set new goats as time passes The same principles apply lo striding cycling or roller skiing You may wish to supplement a running or cycling program with roller ski training Some skiers alternate running and roller skiing If you feel that running is not for you then may wish to trate on roller skiing for aerobic conditioning Roller skis are becoming more sophisticated each year although the perfect roller ski has yet to be invented I personally like the two wheel roller skis that allow you to control your speed by fug Roller skiing comes closer to simulating real skiing than any other exercise The two wheel variety allows you lo practise Ihc marathon skate as well as the diagonal stride The gliding quality is also excellent and allows for a real honest double poling work out There arc at least models or roller skis to choose from so take your pick I tested Swede Ski and Role to All have a different feel some have 3 wheels wheels on the back one on front while others have two I personally selected the Swede Ski two wheeler and have been very satisfied with them I enjoy the skating technique and find that my two wheeler skis are ideally con for this technique I can le each ski in the some manner that I would angle inside edges on regular cross country skis I also practise my double poling and diagonal stride on the same skis GMHA MIDG TOURNAM Custom homes prices Now you can enjoy the a custom homo a you con off Wo you warm homos Plus flex I help pi a homo
