Infographic: Running Facts

I know that running is not for everyone, but for those who are inclined (even just a tiny bit) to engage in this fitness activity, here are some interesting facts you may want to consider even before you start.  I must admit, I just took to running without knowing most of these things, particularly about that blood-squirting thing...makes me cringe.  That would have scared me anyway, so I'm just glad I didn't know.

Good news for those couch potatoes who are thinking of doing any form of exercise.  The mind is really a powerful tool.  It says in the middle of this infographic that just thinking about doing some activity already increases your heart rate in anticipation.  See, you're probably already burning an infinitesimal amount of energy by just thinking.  Duh...no wonder I get hungry when I think too much hahaha!  

For those who can, do break that inertia and run...or move...or something.
