After all, if the runners show good results in such occupations, then without weighting indicators will be several times better. The role of weighting agents can perform as a backpack or dumbbells with a certain weight, and special devices that are worn on different parts of the body (legs, hands, belt). For beginners or those for whom health running is more important than professional achievements, weighting agents are not needed, since they give a very large additional load. But to get rid of extra pounds, these devices - this is what you need. But do not use them from the first session. At the beginning of training weighting can only harm newcomers - for example, damage the joints of the knees and ankle joints. And one more important rule of using various kinds of weighting agents: run systematically, gradually increasing their weight.

In any case, regardless of the type of running, such training can bring great benefits to your body if you follow the recommendations of specialists. Run - and be healthy!
