Here are our tips if you want to start running today, in healthy way and to avoid long-term injuries:

1. Start slow and progress gradually 💨 - Don’t try to run long distances or high speeds right away. Begin with short, easy sessions and slowly increase your distance and intensity over time. Your body needs time to adapt.

2. Wear proper running shoes 👟 - Invest in a good pair of running shoes that suit your foot 🦶type and running style. Quality footwear helps reduce impact on your joints and significantly lowers your risk of injury.

3. Warm up and cooldown 🙆‍♀️ - Focus on light movement and dynamic stretches to warm your body. Do at least 5min. After your running, do some stretching exercises.

4. Maintain good posture 🧘🏻‍♀️ - Stand upright, leaning slightly forward with your shoulders relaxed and your arms bent at about 90 degrees.

5. Vary the terrain ⛰️ - Try running on different surfaces like grass, trails and pavement. This reduces repetitive impact on your joints and helps strengthen muscles more evenly. This option may be optional for those who already do muscle strengthening exercises.

6. Last and most important, join our running club: Paradise Pacers🏃🏻‍♀️🏃 - We do sessions every Saturday at 10am. We also sometimes do Sundays (and other days, specifically when the weather will be better 🥶)

Ramadan Kareem / Selamat Berpuasa to all our Muslim members!

Wishing all our members a Happy Lunar New Year! Which red packet are you choosing??

Do you know the creatine benefits? 🙌🏻
If not, we will tell you: 😎

1. Improved strength performance, such as high-speed exercises and allowing you to lift more weight.

2. More fast energy, ideal for short workouts.

3. Muscle mass gain, helping to retain water within muscle cells for a volume effect.

4. Helps improve muscle performance, such as fatigue between sets.

5. Cognitively, it can improve memory and reasoning, especially in situations of sleep deprivation, and potentially support brain health in some conditions (more focus).

6. Supports muscle health in aging, help to preserve mass and strength in the elderly and in women going through menopause.

7. Creatine supplementation offers benefits during acute periods of metabolic stress, mental fatigue and hypoxia, as well as improved sleep quality.
