Have you watched runners passing you by and wondered if you could ever join the ranks of the fleet-footed? If you can walk, you can run. For motivation, check out these reasons to slip on your running shoes and hit the pavement.

Running works your cardio-vascular system. If you’re new to running, you’ll want to work your way into it, walking for a minute, then running for a minute, on and off as you make your way to running without breaks. You’ll feel your heart rate zooming up into that healthy fat burning and then cardio workout range, which is excellent for your heart and lungs.

Running builds strong bones. The pounding on the pavement is great for increasing bone density, something other cardio workouts like swimming and biking can’t provide.

Running is a surefire way to burn excess calories. For example, you'll burn 330 calories in a half hour if you weigh 150 pounds and run at a ten-minute per mile pace. If that same person walked at a fifteen-minute-mile pace, she'd only burn 150 calories.

Running provides fantastic stress relief. Not only does running make you feel like a superhero, but it is one of those things that strips the stress right out of your body. A good run increases your body’s production of endorphins, which make you feel like everything is going to be all right. Plus that hot shower afterwards feels like heaven.

Running is inexpensive and versatile. Just buy some tailored running shoes (go to a running store and get fitted for best results) and find yourself a track, trail, or street. You’ll do your joints a favor if you try to run on a track, treadmill, or soft dirt path more often than you pound the pavement (and even asphalt is better than cement sidewalks), but really, if you joints don’t complain, you can run anywhere, anytime.
