Is it right to be jogging at the age of 54?

It is definitely ok to jog at that age. Just don't overdo it. I believe there is a minimum amount of time you should do it. I'm not to sure how long you have to do that though. But I just that you consult your doctor and ask them what's the best thing that you should do to keep yourself healthy.

as long as you dont have any health issues and start out slow and build up it will be good that you do it for your heart..

My dad is over 70. But he walks at a pace that most youngsters will find difficult to keep. It's all in the mind. However just make sure that you do not jog very fast suddenly as that is not good for the heart. Also when you are about to stop, slow down completely and then come to a stand still or sit down......Since you are already into yoga...U should be fine!!!

I am sure it is perfectly alright to jog as long as you are feeling fit . Yoga combined with yoga is sure to keep you very fit.I have never heard anyone saying that it is bad to jog after 50 or any age for that matter.i feel it depends on the individual's health and stamina- all the best to you :)

Yes, absolutely ok to be jogging at 54, your post immediately made me think of Wayne Dyer, who's a great example of this and speaks about jogging and exercise many times in his lectures. Do wear some good running shoes that will absorb the impact from the asphalt, and keep your knees in shape, but other than that you should be able to run forever :) I remember some documentary in which a doctor said that our joints are able to withstand vigorous daily exercise for at least 125 years, so no worries there :D Peace and health

Jogging is a healthy and a very ideal way of exercising, it does not only make your knees strong but it makes your blood circulation good. At the age of 54, of course it is still ideal and very much applicable. According to what I learned in school, people needs exercise to help maintain the body's stamina, for us to feel more alive, and to feel young. For people who has hypertension, and high blood, this is the time for you to spend a spare time on your sneakers, ang jogging pants, and jettison yourselves to healthy lifestyle!...

Hey it is not only the age of 54 any age it is very good thaty one should opet for jogging in daily basis yes it is diffferent matter that most of the time we give priority to other work but it is really good to join it

Exercise at any age is good for everyone....... i lived like 15 min away from the bus stop.. so i had to walk everyday wen i went to university.....

it has been advised not to jog for many elder people the main reason is that it can affect their joint it is alwasys safe to walk rather than jog

it is ok ,because our heart muscle will get stronger after jogging a while .on the other hand ,if you sleep every noon ,i advise that you'd better to sleep a while less than 30 minutes .don't worry ,just jog a while and step by step.

That is a good manners.One hand,it can help your relax and have a good mood.On the other hand,jogging can protect your hreat,also can adjust the balance within the body,emotion balance,put themselves together to improve metabolism and promote metabolism,lower blood fat level,cholesterol levels,control weight of the body,an excellent way to lose the weight.Regual exercise is a ling-distance race of people deeper understanding the significant role of the cardic fitness. But all basis your healthy situation.Have a nice day !

I think it's right. As we all know, every day jog is very good for our health. The age of 54 to do some excerise maybe is good for our health, do don't worry the age, do some excerise please.

i think it's good idea to jog no matter wht age you are.it can keep you strong nd heathy.i also wnt to jog everyday ,but no time

It depends on your physical status. I recently learned from one of my friends that he is having problem with his knees. Earlier, he had pain in the knees after trips to some scenic spots in mountainous areas, and right after went to the gym for jogging excertises, attempting to ease the pain. But the result was the opposite, and he had to consult the doctor. He was advised he should not have overburdened his knees. After treatment, even injections, he is always back to right now, but a great lesson, isn't it. Overdoing is not recommended, but proper exercise to lubricate the knees is compulsory to keep in good order.

You can start safely by doing short jogging spurts of 30 to 60 seconds, interspersed with your walking. Gradually equal out the walk & jog times, then slowly increase the jogging times so you can go continuously. A good resource is Runnersworld.com for a good beginner walk/jog program.

Wow at your age you can still do that. i guess there's nothing wrong with that for as long as you don't suffer from any ailments like heart disease or something. Walking or slow pace jogging may even help you to avoid having those if you are free from it. To be sure I guess you better consult your doctor about it. Maybe let him decide at what pace can you do your jogging and at what pace you should limit it with your age. But I think you are doing a very good habit for yourself.

Hello! Jogging is a healthy activity. I do not see why you should forbid yourself from doing it. However, I do believe and recommend strongly that you visit a doctor and check if you have any kind of heart disease, or something like that. If you do not, then it is completely perfect to jog. As you said, it will help you having better sleep and will also keep your body working in a better way. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

Some people keep jogging into their 90's so you are still a spring chicken yet. A word of caution though, I would get the old blood pressure checked and schedule a stress test with a cardiologist to make sure there is no underlying problem you are not aware of. If you get a clean bill of health, keep yourself active and do not overdo anything while keeping in shape and you should be ok for several decades yet.

hi....exercise is necessary for good healt no matter what your age is, doing it reguarly does a lot of improvement in hralth .jogging is good for healthy heart.yeah but dont over do it .....happy my lotting..

Yes as long as your body can take it and as long as it makes you feel better after jogging but I suggest you do it in moderation considering your age, your bones aren't that strong anymore unlike when you were younger.
