Why is running good for you?
It’s a great cardiovascular exercise. It makes your heart pump more efficiently, keeps your arteries elastic so your blood flows smoothly, lowers your blood pressure, reduces bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol – all helping to reduce your risk of heart disease. Yep, it’s a thumbs up from all our personal trainers for running.
