AboutRick Karboviak, CSCS Expertise First things first: I WILL NOT ASK QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO AN INJURY OR SORE AREA ON YOUR BODY, please seek medical advice from a doctor, physical therapist, athletic trainer, or chiropractor.
I can answer questions specifically for mile to 5K distances, preferably in regards to HS and recreational runners, since I coach JH/HS age athletes, and train recreationally-based runners (those who simply run for the enjoyment of it, not super-competitive).
I am also an expert in doing training with the assistance of a GPS speed & distance monitor, in tracking speeds, paces, and distances for measurements in intensity & volume of your workouts precisely.

Question dear sir ,
i am 40 y.o. married with 2 kids ,i like 2 b healthy and apply sport in my life ,
i have heard that ,it is very useful to jog a distance and get tired until being sweat,then jump with a hot tired body in a swiming pool or in the sea ,and that it has great benefits for the heart and the body muscles,is this true?
thanks for your suggestions.
Answer Well, this recommendation alone for better health has no justification, and in realistic terms, who has a pool or sea, or a lake, ready for access, immediately after a run? This is loosely based advice that 'falls' into healthy advice, but bears no reasoning behind it as being beneficial. Also, there are too many loose variables here. "Jog a distance". How long is 'a distance'? 10 feet & 1000 feet are both distances, but require very different demands to run those distances seperately.
I'd advise in reading my free guide through my website, The Mini-Max Method, which delves through most fitness myths and fallacies and just gives you good solid advice on what to start with, with the bare minimum when it comes to first working out. Go to http://speeddialcoach.com/minimax.pdf to view the guide as a PDF file, you will need Adobe Reader to view the file, if you don't have that program on your computer.
