When I see people jogging for fitness, struggling with major gait disturbances, I think these things:
1. Consider sprinting, then brisk walking. You can work on gait.
2. Gait matters. What is dysfunctional now might be painful tomorrow.
3. All that energy jogging you forward could be used to build some lean mass in the weight room. That lean mass burns fuel 24/7.
4. Swinging a kettlebell will torch calories without causing gait disturbances. And if you have a solid coach, it will build you up instead of breaking you down.
5. If you still want to jog, work with a gait specialist to improve your form. POSE method coaches are a qualified choice.
As always, it’s your call.
