Also, since you run a lot in this sport, it is good to avoid practicing it, if you suffer from problems with your joints and cardiovascular system.

Running

The running is one of the activities to which the most are dedicated, for the simple reason that it is possible to carry it out anywhere and with few means available. It is therefore cheap and at the same time simple to implement.
