One of the easier ways to keep healthy is to do jogging. Jogging is the name for very gentle (平和的)running—it is just a little faster than walking.
First jog slowly 20 minutes, and then walk 20 meters. Little by little, if you are not feeling very tired, you may do more jogging and less walking. Finally, jog the whole way. It will be easy for you to start jogging for 15 minutes twice a week. Then slowly, increase this to 20-30 minutes every day. The longer you join in jogging, the more you enjoy it and the healthier you will become. Some
people like jogging alone, and others enjoy doing it with friends. Jogging in groups makes people keener(更热心的)because you just cannot stay in bed while there is a group of friends waiting outside.
If you want to stare jogging ,prepare a pair of comfortable shoes and a determined(坚定的)mind.
