Running (9 mph): Muscle and Fitness
Exercise to Get Fit and Build Muscles
Running workouts are great for strength training, muscle toning and fitness. They help to develop several muscles in the area of the lower body.
Running: Muscle Development
Running workouts are useful for bodybuilding and muscle-building, as they strengthen and keep the hip flexor muscles flexible (the iliacus and the psoas major); develop the quads (vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis and the rectus femoris); and the hamstring muscle tissue (biceps femoris, vastus latoralis and semimembranous).
Running: Fitness Benefits
Running programs help to build lean tissue, burn body fat and develop a flat stomach by working the lower abs and rectus abdominis. They also help to raise resting metabolic rate.
Running Workouts: Calories Burned
Fitness routines involving Running burn a high number of calories. When combined with a calorie-controlled eating plan, they help us to lose weight and maintain a healthy body-fat percentage.
