I still see a lot of posts in media outlets about the population getting fatter because of the lockdown restrictions. There are no rules that say you must eat or drink more just because you are staying home while working. And the fact that you may now have more time to get out and move about is a good way for keeping the weight down. The key word in all of this is “move.”
There are many levels of moving for fitness and health. At the top of fitness activities is running fast. Running fast burns more calories, improves the cardiovascular health, and strengthens the heart. Under the running fast activity is just plain running. Running at a speed that keeps your heart rate elevated and still being able to talk to a running friend is probably the most popular form of exercise. Down one more level is a slow jog. Not really walking yet but at about the same pace as a fast walker.
All of these examples can be classified under the activity of running.
