Here are some tips on good form while running.1. Head: Hold it erect with your eyes focussed at a point on the ground or the track that is around 100 feet away.
2. Shoulders: Should be square (not hunched forward) and stay level (not swinging forwards or backwards).
3. Arms: Should swing free with elbows bent at 90 degrees with the forearms. While moving the arms, try to keep forearms parallel to the ground. Hands should be in relaxed fists with thumbs on forefingers.
4. Hips: Should not swing from side to side and remain level.
5 Legs: Knee should lift onlymoderately and the feet should land directly under the hips.
6. Feet: Should always land on balls of the feet for a spring action and not on the heels.
Running is a cheap and easy way of exercising, without proper technique it can wreak havoc on the body-joints and the spinal column. Keep that in mind when you take off.
