How to master the correct running posture?

Many friends usually hope to achieve the goal of losing weight by running. When people are running, they will consume a lot of body energy and the metabolism of fat will be significantly accelerated. Therefore, proper running has a good effect on weight loss. However, if the running posture is not correct, it may also bring some negative effects to the body. When running, it is best to master the correct method and then proceed.

Correct running posture:

Many people like to look down while running, as if an American blockbuster is being shown in front of their toes. Lowering the head often causes the entire back and neck to flex forward, and the spine is no longer in its normal physiological state, and the ability to withstand impact is greatly reduced, which lays a solid foundation for sports injuries.

Your abdominal muscles should be tight, your back should not bend too far back, your hips should not be tilted back too far, and your shoulders should be relaxed. Don't shrug your shoulders. Often you are not aware of the mistakes in your body posture. Always ask your companions or friends whether your running posture is correct. Your arms should be swinging close to the sides of the body, which means your elbows should not turn outwards, and don't clench your fists too tightly.

Experts from the fitness channel remind you: When running, lift the knee of your front leg and straighten it backwards. If your steps are too small, it will feel awkward like wearing anklets. Let your heel touch the ground first, then the sole and toes. Do not touch the ground with your entire foot at the same time, otherwise your knee joints and calves will not be able to withstand long-term impact.

A good pair of running shoes is essential. An expensive pair does not mean that the shoe will be better. Choosing the right running shoe for you depends on your weight, the shape of your feet, your running style and your injuries. Before buying shoes, you should try them on and try running for a short while to see if they are elastic enough and fit your feet well. In addition, the sole should be easy to bend. If you grab the two ends of the shoe to bend it, the largest bend should be at the sole of the foot. The heel part should be suitable. If it is too big, it will make you unstable when running, which may easily damage your ankle.

Running not only requires standard movements, but also has many requirements for the duration and frequency of running. For friends who are just starting to run, it is best not to choose too much exercise. Let the body adapt slowly first, and then gradually increase the amount of exercise. This can effectively reduce the fatigue caused by exercise.
