Not too many people run on tracks because they say it's boring to run around in circles, but here are some reasons you may want to hit a track next time you slip on your sneaks.
Winterize Your Workouts: Indoor Track Tips
If you're used to running outside, and the colder weather has forced you to exercise inside, working out on an indoor track is a great option. Many gyms and health clubs have them, and one reason they're a pleasure to run on is that their surface is spongy, so it's easier on your joints.

The expression "I am running around in circles" definitely has a negative connotation, but I am here to say that running around in circles, well ovals really, when at the track is something you should learn to love. Before you protest, let me list my reasons why I have come to love track workouts.
Body Health:
- Be it a dirt or a composite track, the surface is much easier on your joints than unforgiving concrete sidewalks and even softer than more forgiving asphalt streets.
Track, Treadmill, Trail, or Sidewalk?
I wasn't born a runner, but now that I've been doing it for a while, I crave it. Even when I get on my sneaks to go for a walk, I get this surge of energy and inspiration to run instead. Running gives me an incredibly strong feeling inside and out.
In Praise of Running at a Track
Running...it is a great way to exercise but it can get boring no matter where you do it. That is why it is great to mix it up and run in different places and different environments. That is why I headed for the track this morning.

Fitbit Tracks Your Workouts and Your Sleep
Although I think healthy living is often about simplifying things, I still love techy health gadgets. If you're a health nut like me, you probably wonder everyday if you've gotten enough sleep or how many calories you burned on your morning jog.

Six Ways to Get Back on Track
Sunday mornings may start out lazy, but by the time afternoon rolls around, I always feel like it is time to get back on track.
