Here's what happens to your body if you run every day

Five kilometers is a distance that can be run relatively easily even by less experienced runners who engage in this type of recreation only occasionally. Doing this feat once may not really be a big deal if you're at all fit. On the other hand, running five kilometers every day requires a lot of willpower, but it also requires a lot of effort, since you don't have a day off from running. What would happen to your tale if you accepted this challenge? Find the answer in the following lines...

Muscles

We all know that lifting weights is the key to gaining muscle mass, as well as strengthening muscles. Cardio exercises also increase muscle strength, especially in the calves, thighs, and buttocks, but at a much slower rate. If you choose to run five kilometers every day, expect to tighten your abdominal muscles.

Joints

Although it is widely believed that running is bad for the joints, the truth is that overdoing this activity alone is risky for the joints, especially when you are not prepared enough, do not wear adequate shoes, and run on uneven terrain. By running five kilometers every day, you will strengthen your joints and reduce the risk of joint injury.

Weight

If you run five kilometers every day, you will undoubtedly lose a few extra pounds, provided that you do not overeat at the same time. You don't even need to cut back on your food intake to see the positive effect of running on your weight. Studies have shown that if the average individual eats moderately and runs a distance of five kilometers every day, he can expect to lose 360 ​​calories on a daily basis, which is not very much but not to be underestimated either.

Physical condition

Regular running will definitely increase your physical fitness. You will breathe easier during training and your lungs, muscles, and heart will be in complete harmony. With progress in this area of ​​physical fitness, you can increase your daily running distance, and instead of five kilometers, run seven and a half kilometers, to begin with, and later ten kilometers.

Mood

"A healthy mind in a healthy body", is an old Latin saying that still applies. Namely, it is known that frequent exercise, even if only fifteen minutes a day, significantly reduces the risk of depression. It will take you about half an hour to run five kilometers, or maybe a little more if you run at a slow pace, which means that the positive effects of this type of recreation on your mood are even greater.
