Jogging in Place Custom Search Jogging in place can help you get your fitness on. Enough of us sit through commercials during our favorite shows, right? Why not just use that time to jog? You'll get your heart rate up and your sweat on. Typically, joggers do this at cross walks while waiting for the light to change. They do this, of course, to keep their heart rate up. If you've been jogging at a certain pace you want to keep your heart rate at that pace. Don't let it slip back. Fluctuations in heart rate do not make for an effective exercise routine. Is This Beneficial To You? Yes and no. It's good to practice this throughout your day or when you're at home watching television. If 30 minutes of your time is an absolute bear to come by, than implement these little fitness snippets. Experts suggest 30 minutes of daily exercise 5 days a week. Daily exercise keeps cholesterol and blood pressure down, increases weight loss, improves circulation and a host of other benefits. It is always best to commit to a minimum of 30 minutes of fitness a day. You need to re-energize yourself and exercise does this for you. And, naturally you'll get results sooner with a longer fitness routine. However, if you just don't have time to squeeze in extra minutes, than stationary jogging is a good alternative. Doing it throughout the day offers a cumulative effect on your body. That means your exercise adds up over the course of the day and you'll enjoy the benefits of lowered blood pressure. Consider whether you might do this at work for a few minutes to get a break from sitting down. A brief stationary jog will wake you up, get your blood pumping and reduce stress. Of course work may not be an option. If you don't have privacy you probably won't feel comfortable doing this. No one wants to look silly or have to explain anything. Try to fit this time in during commercial breaks while watching television. Start jogging slowly at first and then faster by getting your knees up. You can shadow box, skip rope (without the rope) or perform jumping jacks to break up your routine. In 3 minutes you'll elevate your heart rate. Get your arms up above your head and you'll really break a sweat! Before you know it you'll have burned those extra calories. You'll also strengthen your cardiovascular system. Working your heart and breaking a sweat is good for you! Just ten minutes a day of jogging in place will help with weight loss and accumulating 30 minutes of daily exercise. Top of Page
