📉 Slow Jogging vs. High Intensity: - Slow jogging is not for the weak; it has numerous benefits for everyone. - High-intensity training can lead to injuries and long-term health risks.

📊 Research Findings: A study by Peter Schnohr, MD, showed that light joggers have lower mortality rates compared to those who engage in strenuous exercise.

🔥 Fat Burning: - Slow jogging burns more fat than high-intensity workouts. - Aim to burn an extra 300 calories daily for sustainable weight loss.

🦵 Proper Form: - Slow jogging allows for better technique and running efficiency. - Reduces stress on joints and muscles, crucial for those over 40.

👣 Running Technique: - Land on the ball of your foot, not your heel. - Use minimalist shoes for better ground feel.

🗣️ Pace Check: You should be able to converse while jogging. Use the Borg scale (aim for 10 to 12) to measure exertion.

🌱 Evolutionary Perspective: Our ancestors were designed for light running, activating slow-twitch muscles for endurance without fatigue.

⚠️ Injury Prevention: Cross-training is essential to avoid repetitive stress injuries. Incorporate walking, swimming, or cycling into your routine.

💬 Conclusion: Slow jogging is a sustainable exercise option that promotes health and longevity. Don't be discouraged by others; focus on your journey.
