**Hi friends of the hive** To stay healthy and lose some fat that bothers you, one of the best exercises is running. ***Maybe quarantine and sedentary lifestyle have allowed you to gain a few extra kilos, when this happens, it's time to go for a walk and jog.***

***According to the nutritionist, due to my height I should not exceed 63 kilos, unfortunately the sedentary lifestyle in the last days made me go over the limit, so I decided to start walking, running and exploring more often.*** Anyone can practice the race, provided they have the physical capacity to do so, that is, the intensity of the effort is compatible with their functional capacity. For those who already walk and have better physical conditioning, running becomes natural, because the effort required to maintain the same heart rate in training forces you to speed up your pace.

It is essential that tests are performed before physical activity to identify possible illnesses or physical limitations that prevent running. You should also investigate the nutritional status of the runner, check if he uses medications and what is his level of fitness.
