The Top Ten Reasons Why Running is Great There are many reasons why running is one of the most popular forms of aerobic exercise. Aside from the shoes, running is relatively inexpensive. In good weather, running gives you a chance to enjoy the outdoors, but in bad weather, running can be done indoors. Running can also burn significantly more calories than other aerobic activities. Since running is a weight-bearing exercise, it may also prevent osteoporosis.
Running and walking can be incorporated into any routine and can be done by people at any level of fitness. They don't require much equipment -- just a good pair of running shoes, and maybe a supportive sports bra -- and can be done almost anywhere. Just put one foot in front of the other and go.
