Glossary:
The ideal pace for slow jogging is a conversational pace. This means that you should be able to talk in complete sentences while you are running. If you are new to slow jogging, you may want to start by walking for 10 minutes, then slow jogging for 5 minutes, and repeating this cycle until you are able to slow jog for 30 minutes without stopping.
Aim to slow jog for at least 30 minutes, 3-4 times per week. If you are new to slow jogging, you may want to start with 1-2 days per week and gradually increase the frequency and duration of your runs as you get stronger and more fit.
Slow jogging is a great activity for people of all ages and fitness levels. It is especially beneficial for people who are overweight or obese, or who have joint problems. However, it is important to talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have any health concerns.
Background on Slow Jogging:
Slow jogging was popularized in Japan by Hiroaki Tanaka, a professor at Fukuoka University. Tanaka developed the slow jogging method after he found that he was able to improve his own health and fitness by running at a slow pace.
Tanaka's research has shown that slow jogging is a very efficient way to burn calories and improve cardiovascular health. He has also found that slow jogging is less likely to cause injuries than other forms of exercise, such as running or jogging at a faster pace.
Slow jogging has become increasingly popular in recent years, as people have become more aware of its many benefits. It is now practiced by people all over the world, and there is even a growing community of slow joggers who participate in marathons and other running events.
