Running is a very common way of fitness, but it is difficult to achieve the effect of fitness by running casually, so the correct running posture is also very important, so how to run in a correct posture?
1. Head and shoulders: Keep the head directly above the shoulders, do not deviate left or right, keep the head and the upper body in a straight line, the upper body is basically upright, lean forward slightly, and the facial muscles should be relaxed during running, this will allow you to save a lot of physical strength.
2.Arms and hands: The elbow joint is bent slightly more than 90°, and both hands naturally make fists. When swinging forward, the hands are slightly inward, and the elbows are slightly outward when swinging back. At the same time, ensure that the arms always swing forward. The arms and shoulders are also consciously extended back.
3. Hip: Keep your hips directly under your body, don't push your hips forward, don't lean your whole body forward, this will cause back pain, reduce running efficiency, and you will find that you can't easily lift your knees high.
4. Thighs and knees: The front swing of the thighs should not be too high, the back legs should not be fully straightened, and the knees should not be raised too high during long-distance running. Too high knees are only needed for sprinters or when going uphill.
5.Feet: The toes should land naturally. It is important to emphasize that the running method of heel-to-ground should be abandoned, even if this type of running is the most common. Remember, heel strike means your foot has to step straight out in front of you, then your entire foot is on the ground, which is the equivalent of putting your full weight on your foot, and at the end your toes are off the ground. So you can only try push back hard, stomping on the ground with all your strength, this will naturally cause pain in your knees, hips, and lower back.
