Playing outdoors is good for the body and mind, and can encourage new friendships. Even married people
It’s now well-known that running is good for physical and mental health, and can improve friendships and relationships between people who exercise together. But it turns out it’s also fertile ground for finding new love.
Love comes—Run—
That’s according to London City Runners Club, London’s largest club that supports free events and running groups. The organization’s president told CNN that there have been twenty marriages among its members so far. These people meet because they love running and attend events sponsored by the club.
After running a marathon or team sport together, the “runners” will share phone numbers, go out to eat or plan dinner together. These are all opportunities that lead to new relationships and new love.
Running is good for your health
So if you’re looking for motivation to get off the couch and run, you may meet the love of your life if you’re single. While doing all this, we also gain healthy information. Running improves cardiovascular health, lowers blood pressure, improves cholesterol levels, strengthens bones and muscles, and helps manage weight. It is easier to lose weight if you are on a diet.
Good for the soul
It is also stated that this game is good for mental health. In fact, it can increase happiness, reduce stress and anxiety, and help relieve depression. So it’s no surprise that the number of applications for games has increased over the last five years, reaching millions of users.
Running, yes, but safe
But be careful when running alone in the park, perhaps in the dark. It can be scary. A study by the University of Manchester found that 68 percent of 498 women surveyed had experienced bad behavior while running. It’s best to do this activity in a group. If you don’t have friends who want to run with you, find clubs in your area that support these activities and organize sports events. Of course, knowing that you are not alone will encourage you to get up from the couch and work from home. You will also be able to train safely and meet new people. Who knows, maybe even love.
