9 Slow Jogging Miracles to Heal Your Body and Mind

[@IldikoMason]

I used to jog 5k's regularly 10 years ago. I stopped jogging for a few years and 3 months ago took it back up again after watching videos on the benefits of slow jogging. I started out going short distances, then going up to a mile at a time, now I am comfortably jogging 1.5 miles a few times a week. I feel great. I am 62 years old and feeling healthy and strong.

You always make me laugh. So glad I found your channel. I may be delusional, but I can't help but feel that if I start slow jogging, it might delay my advanced prostate cancer and extend my life. I'm 55 and have always been skinny but I never exercise, so I think now is the time to start. I just finished my radiation treatment so nothing left to do but try everything I can to extend my life.

@@Cyberdine.Systems.Model-101 Glad I made you laugh. Exercise is good for everyone. So I hope it helps you too. Also I haven't watched it yet, but its on my list, there is an NHK World's documentary about how muscles act anti cancer (I can find you a link if you can't find it) . And check out my isometric Bicep Blast video, cause it can be used on all muscle groups and without the pain of gym going. The muscles I have (laugh it up, meatheads) are from doing this. Best of luck. Also check out Gabor Mate. Hope you will look at this period of your life in your 80s as a time where you made positive changes. 🤞

Blessings to you! There are published studies that show benefit for starving cancer cells of sugar with a low carb or ketogenic diet, specifically prostate cancer. If you haven't explored this, it might be worth your time.

[@brentbrouwer6135]

Don't give in. Yup, cancer likes sugar, mostly. Get plenty of protein, your immune system is made of protein, mostly. More muscle is great to regulate sugar but just stop eating it too. And remember what the Centurion said, "Lord, I am not worthy to receive you. Only say the word..." you'll be healed.

I got prostate cancer bro. It killed both my uncles. Got mine removed. That sucked but lets face it . Life is good and the most important organ is your heart.

I have done slow jogging, and I love it!! I have been slow jogging with my dog, I call it the “Dog Jog” and she loves it too! I actually let my dog dictate the pace, which is pretty slow. My assumption is that she doesn’t want to stress or fatigue herself, and she is far more willing to slow jog with me than she was to run fast, the longest we have jogged was 1hr

[@ut561]

i started slow jogging about 5 months ago or so. i go 3 times a week, basically every other day around the block, which is about 1 mile. it takes me about 12 mins or so. the 1st day I went thought I was going to die. I could hardly breath and it was exhausting, but I push myself to finish it. In two days I went again and it very surprising, it was much much easier. Since then I continues to be fairly easy and now I look forward to it. In all that time I think I only missed 1 day due to weather. By going only 3 times a week it's easy to manage and avoid excuses not to go.

[@sendykafitover40]

[@johnbemery7922]

I inadvertently began slow jogging in May. I had reached my goal of completing a 3 mile barefoot beach run the prior August, and i wanted to start up again at the same distance. So, I ran slow, not much faster than walking, embarassing slow, and took a lot of time, but I completed the 3 miles and i wasn't hurting at all. So, I continued every other day. After a month, I was still jogging below my stress threshhold, but I was completing it faster than the 1st day. I was intrigued. I tried it with other exercising: I did one plank a day, I did one dead hang a day, I did one shoulder stand a day. After a month, I could do each twice as long as on the 1st day. Minimalist exercising! I was staying below my stress threshold, but still seeing benefits! Just pointing my body in a direction with minimal exercising, and my body actually develops forward in that direction. "No pain, no gain" is not true. I did eventually include finishing my runs with an as a fast as I can sprint, to get some HIIT benefits, then jump in the ocean to cool off and get some swimming in when its warm enough.

This is so good to see. I broke my leg nearly 3 years ago - and, while the bone healed pretty quickly, the ligaments have only just healed, allowing me to get back in to running again. So I'm naturally slow jogging. and it's also partly because I'm a devotee of 80/20 running, where 80% of your runs should be in zone 2. Good to see the science behind this. I don't worry about faster runners overtaking me - and if a fast walker overtakes me, well, it's a cue for a conversation starter! BTW, I'm now 87, and only started running in lockdown, 4 years ago. Now I do ultra marathons, and train by slow jogging. I'm also vegan, and my arthritis disappeared when I gave up meat products, allowing me to run pain free. On no meds, and living my best life!

Then I discovered the horrors of the dairy and egg industries, and went vegan - took 2 years for all the blinkers to come off. I'd tried to run in my 40s, but gave up because of the pain in my knees. And I never thought about running again until I was chasing my 5yr-old GS around - and I thought, hang on, my knees are not hurting!

Thanks for the video! Always entertaining 🙂. A few questions if you don't mind: I have started slow jogging, and I'm excited about the concept and the likely benefits. However I've been struggling to land on the balls of my feet. It doesn't feel natural for me yet. Also, the bigger issue with landing on the balls of my feet, is that I'm finding it's causing a lot of strain in my calf muscles. Once, on a recent jog, I felt like I "pulled a muscle", and needed to "hobble" the rest of the way home. Another time I jogged home successfully, but almost as soon as I got home, both my calf muscles seemed to "seize up" and I've been hobbling around my house for the last day or so. I'm expecting the muscle strain will go away in a few days, but it does mean I need to stop jogging until it does, and it seems to indicate I'm probably doing something wrong. I have been trying to "take it easy", and I'm not running continuously (I'm taking breaks every few minutes). Thoughts on how to prevent this issue? Also, you -- like me -- seem to have a "skinny" body type. But, unlike you, I've developed a lot of weight around my stomach. Any thoughts on losing belly weight? Thanks!

[@sendykafitover40]

@@gregt301 Here is my unprofessional, unqualified opinion. Calf muscles, you are working them like never before in your life. I had the same problem. Take a day or two of a break and let them recover. Help recovery with a ball and roller. So that radio Taiso movement where you lift youe heels - that relaxes the calf muscles and makes the blood flow there. I also work a lot standing up on 2 yoga bricks at a standing desk (a desk and a stool and a laptop) and lower my heels in a similar movement. DSY applies. If you let them recover they will get stronger. It's only now after 5 months that I noticed that my calves don't feel so tense any more after the jogs and my calves got bigger. So give it time. Like that community post. Things need to adjust to the new loads. Be kind to yourself, don't push..on the other side is an injury 😜. Do something else, cross train with walking cycling swimming. Losing belly fat. Oh man. The next next video is about metabolism and how it doesn't work the way we've been told. So wait for that one and make informed decisions. Exercise is a drop in the bucket of energy needs, so also diet, BUT your body will sabotage you and go onto "starvation mode" if it gets the wind that is getting less. So you don't want to trigger... Man, this is a whole big topic. 😂 Check out Herman Pontzer's Burn if you can't wait for the video 😆

@@gregt301 oh by the way, thought is something calf-wise. Remember the "do not push of with your feet" part from the first video? If you're bobbing up an down a lot than that's what may be also putting a lot more strain on them. If you can land on the ball of your feet and then use your heel to propel yourself further forward that would be quite a trick. One I haven't quite mastered yet but practice now while learning to walk the Namba Aruki way (ancient Japanese way). But I try to shuffle my feet more rather than go up and down on them while slow jogging. If that makes sense.

[@gregt301]

@@sendykafitover40 Thank you! I *think* that makes sense 🙂 (though honestly it's rather confusing). When you shuffle your feet, would you say that your shoes (or bare feet) actually touch the ground between steps (i.e. scuff, scrape) or do you avoid that with "clean" steps? I'm assuming the latter is preferable. I haven't had a chance to read the Slow Jogging book yet (but probably I need to do that).
