It's not so cold yet, but it's not hot either, autumn is the most beautiful time to exercise outdoors! Year after year people argue: what is healthier walking or running? We know for sure that any physical activity is beneficial, but it's important to do it properly. Moveline healthy activities online platform and our coach Inga Teivane will help you to understand all the nuances.

Running is one of the most popular sports. It strengthens muscles, increases stamina, and helps you maintain optimal physical shape. What can be more beautiful than a morning or evening run in the forest or park? But it is worth remembering the multiple factors linked to running. This load is quite intense, which means that it is not suitable for everyone, for example, for people with overweight, running can be harmful, and you should not choose it as a method of weight loss. Running puts a lot of pressure on the joints, especially the knees and ankles. Therefore, it is important to choose good shoes and the ‘right’ surface for running - stadium or soft racetracks, so the load on the joints will be reduced. In addition, the option ‘left the house and ran’ is not suitable for any runner, running requires warming up, otherwise you risk to get injured. But if you take into account all these nuances: the absence of contraindications, the right equipment and place - welcome to autumn jogging with us!

Walking, we are talking about more intense walking, which allows you to reduce weight and feel athletic, is now as popular as running. Why? The answer is simple, it has practically no contraindications, does not require great stamina, is accessible to everyone and, most importantly, is not traumatic like running. Fast walking engages the same muscles as running, you don't need to prepare for it, it doesn't require warming up each muscle, finding special shoes or place. Walking can be done by the whole family, and if you have a dog, you can make your pet happy by choosing this physical activity. We can say straightforwardly - walking is natural and sporty at the same time, which means it is easier to make it a habit.

Our coach Inga Teivane will be happy to help you create the best physical activity plan for you and your family, no matter whether you prefer walking or running, the main thing is to book a training session and get started!
