What Happens to Your Body if You Run Five Minutes Every Day?

To be in shape it is not necessary to run a marathon , but a minimum dedication of time each day to exercise is enough. Therefore, we show you everything that happens in your body if you run five minutes every day.

Only five minutes and many benefits.

Five minutes seems very little, but for those who lead a sedentary life and do not have much time to exercise, going for just five minutes to run each day can translate into many benefits .

Running every day (even just a few minutes) can considerably improve our mental and emotional health, helping to raise energy and vitality levels due to the release of endorphins and also controlling stress and anxiety symptoms .

On the other hand, although it may seem insufficient to run just five minutes a day, it can represent a great change on a physical level ; since it will improve aerobic and lung capacity , physical resistance and stimulate blood circulation considerably, helping, among other things, to tone muscles in different parts of the body and even lose a few kilos.

What Happens to Your Body if You Run Five Minutes Every Day?

Going for a run every day is a very accessible activity, since we all only have five minutes and to run, we simply need a   good pair of shoes and our will.

Therefore, it is a good option to improve physical and emotional health, tone our body and feel better about ourselves; indirectly improving our night’s rest , our diet or our performance at work .
