Why I Run at the Gym Each Day

By Jason Winter

Running is an absolutely huge part of my life. It's something that I believe everyone should do. Even though it's hard to motivate sometimes, I'm always pushing myself to make sure that I did my running for the day.

Even though it's a nuisance sometimes, the one that that I've realized is that I'm always glad that I ran once the run is over. I think this says a lot.

I'll always feel better after the fact, which leads me to believe that it's just a mental block that prevents us from doing it more often. Still, it's something that we should definitely push ourselves to do as hard as we possibly can.

There are so many benefits to running, and they're not just physical ones. Obviously, it's always good to stay in shape, as running is great for your heart and your physical appearance. It's also great for your mind though, as the endorphins secreted from a run have proven benefits.

Additionally, I've found that it's easier for me to focus on work when I run. I sleep better at night too.

All of these obvious benefits make it well worth giving yourself the push to go running. Do whatever it takes to put yourself on a regular schedule and you'll see the benefits pretty quickly.

If you need some help motivating, do some things that may make it all easier. Run indoors with a television that you can watch. Listen to some music that will pump you up. You can even read while you run if you feel that it might help.

It's also important to set personal goals as you run. While some people are perfectly content with maintaining the same speed, I've always found that I get the maximum benefit whenever I'm striving to achieve new fastest times. - 30552
