Bicentennial j ogging clinic emphasizes safety BY PATRICKRAFTi$ appropriate shoes and clothing and injury Here's a little food for thought. Next time you give in to the urge to stop at a fast food joint for a quick burger and fries, keep in mind that the average person has to jog for about 35 minutes to work off the 307 calories contained in just one cheeseburger. it takes that long if you jog at the leisurely pace of nine minutes per kilometre. If you were to speed up to six minutes per kilometre, it would still take you 25 minutes. 1,et's not even talk about those French fries. As a matter of fact, one measley carrot contains 21 calories -enough to keep you pounding the pavement for three minutes, four if you walk it. These facts were among the numerous fitness tips provided to those attending a jogging and walking clinic held August 21 at the Agricultural Park in Goderich. As an Ontario Bicentennial project, clinics like the one in Goderich are being held across the province this summer. The clinics are a joint venture of the Ministry of Fitness and Amateur Sport and the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation, in conjunction with local recreation departments, as a means of promoting physical fitness in the province. The 19 people attending the Goderich clinic came away well informed on the proper methods of keeping fit through jogging and walking. it is not a haphazard process, as ministry clinicians Steven Wells and Farooq Shabbar explained. Safety, as well as fitness, was emphasized and the lecture portion of the clinic dwelt on such things as: proper warm-up exercises, prevention. Proper warm-up exercises reduce muscle tension and tightness, thereby reducing the risk of muscle soreness and soft tissue injury, explained Wells. The instructors also recommend a cool down period of one to three minutes of slower walking, following a walk or a jog. This cool down process aids in restoring your heart rate to normal and a progression to a few stretching exercises will help prevent muscles from tightening, Proper shoes can help cut down on such common injuries as shin splints, runner's knee, achilles tendonitis and plain old blisters, While obviously the more vigorous the exercise, the better the results, in terms of fitness, Wells and Shabbar recommend beginning joggers or walkers start with an easy program and work up gradually to more strenuous exercise. The clinic concluded with the instructors leading the participants, who ranged in age from senior citizens down to about eight years, in their choice of a one kilometre walk or a two kilometre jog. The jog -walk of course, did not begin until everyone had participated in a thorough warm-up. From there, the clinicians had done their part, as it has to be up to the individual to develop and continue with an exercise program suited to him. All that's needed is a bit of ambition and perhaps a little incentive. By the way, about those French fries -223 calories, 27 minutes jogging, 45 minutes walking. Good luck!
