How to do the running preparation action

Running is a relatively good fitness exercise promoted in our country. This sport is very simple and has no restrictions on venues, so it is popular with many people. We can see many people running in parks and school playgrounds every day, and everyone should be familiar with this. Before running, you usually have to do some preparatory work. So, how do you do the preparatory movements for running? For this issue, please see the introduction below.

Step 1: Stretch your legs

Stand with your feet together, take a step back with your left foot, then lean your upper body forward, bend your right knee slightly so that your thigh and calf form a 90-degree angle, straighten your left leg, tighten the muscles in your buttocks and abdomen, place your hands up and down on your right thigh, and gently stretch your leg for 15-30 seconds, alternating between left and right several times.

Step 2: Move the hip joint

Take a big step forward with your right foot and bend your knees. The angle between your thigh and calf should be less than 90 degrees. Fully open your hip joints forward and backward, stretch the muscles of your front and back legs, keep your upper body straight, tighten your buttocks and abdominal muscles, open your chest, face forward, bend your elbows and place your arms on your right knee, and stretch your legs with your hips sinking for 15-30 seconds. Switch sides and repeat several times.

Best time to run: morning and evening

Morning and evening are the best times to run. The air is fresh in the morning, so go for a run to exercise your whole body while breathing in the warm sunshine. The ultraviolet rays are not too strong at this time, which can help you increase your metabolism early in the morning and allow your body to enter the fat burning state earlier. It is also a good idea to run in the evening before dinner. The temperature is not that high, and it is easy to run. It is also helpful in controlling appetite.
