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!
