It seems ‘lazy jogging’ is the latest fitness trend to hit and we have to admit we love it!

It doesn’t mean jogging while sitting on the couch (if that is even possible…) what it does mean is running for short periods at a reduced speed – so basically a fairly quick walk but not quite a run!

According to a study of 55,000 adults over 18, those who ran less than 60 minutes in a week benefited just as much as those who did more than three hours – we’re pretty sure they weren’t as fit though?!

Dr. Duck-Chul Lee – we are absolutely loving his name – from Iowa State University, said: "Running may be a better exercise option than more moderate intensity exercises for healthy but sedentary people since it produces similar, if not greater, mortality benefits in five to 10 minutes compared to the 15 to 20 minutes per day of moderate intensity activity that many find too time consuming."

So, now you definitely can’t use the excuse of 'I don’t have time to be healthy'!

A new study conducted by the Cardiovascular Research Institute in Pennsylvania, U.S. has revealed that too much running may actually be harmful to our health.

The research carried out by Dr Martin Matsumura and his team suggests that too much running may actually decrease the lifespan rather than increase it.

The study included 3,800 female and male runners with an average age of 46.

Dr Matsumura has said that “increasing mileage and pace, the benefits of running seem to disappear.”

He also suggests running no more than 2-3 hours a week at a moderate pace to reap the great benefits of running healthily and safely.

You don’t need to be training for a marathon to go for a jog. Here are five reasons to put your runners on and head out the door.

  1. Jogging is the simplest and cheapest method of exercise.
  2. Jogging burns the highest amount of calories out of all other forms of exercise.
  3. Running outdoors can burn 30-40% more calories than running in the gym, due to wind resistance and varying terrains.
  4. As well as burning calories and improving your heart’s strength, jogging also works the core, the lower back and your love handles.
  5. It’s one of the best stress busters as it increases your oxygen levels and endorphins.
