Anti Ageing Exercise

Regular Running may help prevent disability and early death from cancer,neurological disease or infections, according to Stanford University School of Medicine. Researches tracked 1000 runners and non-runners over age 50. After 19 years, 34 percent of non-runners had died, but only 15 percent of the runners had. What you need to know:

Warm up and warm down: Even if you're just going for a gentle run, warm up first to achieve a certain level of joint mobility and to avoid injuries. Warming down will also help cut down on stiffness.

Run tall and breathe deeply: Try to get in the habit of running with a straight back to minimise pressure on your diaphragm. Take a deep breath, lift your whole upper body and than hold that position as you run.

Running time: Only run as long as you can do so in the correct style. As soon as your form gets sloppy, pack it for another day.

KL Towerthon Challenge Sudah Berlalu

Aku pernah menyertai larian ini beberapa tahun lepas. Cabaran ini sungguh menyeronokkan. Garisan permulaan di Bukit Nenas, peserta perlu berlari mendaki bukit hingga sampai ke Menara K.L dan seterusnya mendaki menggunakan tangga hingga ke puncak. Menarik kan? Memang mencabar fizikal dan mental apabila anda terpaksa mengerah segala tenaga melawan tarikan graviti.
